Sounds wonderful, doesn't it? But why does a cold shiver go up my spine — and I suspect the spines of my readers — when I envision that change? Well, I know one consideration shaking my vertebrae: self-interest. Let's not kid ourselves. Over time, the completion of a perfect, comprehensive, universal online library would inevitably mean the closure of many traditional libraries. And those libraries contain and employ most of my readers, including the indirect employment of staff from the vendors that serve them.
But how can I complain? I've spent my professional life banging the drum and leading the cheers for exactly this kind of development. I'm an online missionary from way back. I still mourn the decade lost to the advance of online when IBM launched its first PC package without a modem attached. The printer was included, but not the modem. Shame! Shame!! How much faster the Internet could have brought us the future if only … if only …! But enough crying over spilt milk, we made it. We're here now and we're going to be over there soon. Maybe sooner than we'd like.
But it's not just the dead hand of reactionary greed, the desire to hang on to the jobs we know how to do even if no one wants them done any more; it's not just featherbedding. (That's an old union term for "make-work" jobs, like a railroad workers union insisting each train carry a coal stoker, even after the trains went diesel.) The world still needs information professionals. In fact, they need us now more than ever with everyone a searcher these days.
Ignorance is dangerous, but the knowledge of one's ignorance can provide a certain protection, a protection the assumption of competence can strip away. As Alexander Pope expressed it, "A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: There shallow Draughts intoxicate the Brain, And drinking largely sobers us again." Today — and tomorrow — we information professionals must concentrate on making services that keep our clients safe, to pave new roads to knowledge and repair the potholes in the old roads. We must also find ways to make sure our clients go to drivers' training and qualify on their drivers' tests, lest they just hop into their digital vehicles and kill somebody. (Remember that poor lady who died for want of a PubMed back file or, more accurately, for the want of a Johns Hopkins research physician with enough search skills and information awareness to go after an older file?)
We need to build, design, or at least contribute to information products that will do the job and to build end-user searchers that know how to find the good products and use them effectively. I read a New York Times story recently about how a history department at a small college had banned citations from Wikipedia after students had submitted erroneous information, according to the article, on Jesuit missionaries supporting a revolt in 17th-century Japan at a place called Shimabara. The college management did not expect students to stop using Wikipedia, just stop citing it. Actually, when I checked the citation at Wikipedia, it didn't look as if the article claimed the Jesuits thought they could mount a successful defense of the Christian stronghold. Even the most anti-clerical or anti-Catholic critics of the order have never contended they were stupid. On the other hand, since the Jesuits were heading for the executioner's block along with other Japanese Christians, I hardly think they would have supported the opposition. Missionaries are notorious for the stout support they give to lost causes. As G. K. Chesterton used to say, "A thing worth doing is worth doing badly."
The controversy seems to raise two real points — and hats off to TheNew York Times reporter for recognizing both. The educational process should focus on teaching students to question statements, to seek clarification and confirmation, to use multiple sources. For example, the Catholic Encyclopedia also describes the rebellion [http://www.catholicity.com/encyclopedia/j/japan.html] and, while providing details from a different perspective, also makes its own questionable observation: "…and on 9 December, 1596, nine religious were arrested and orders were given to draw up a list of Japanese Christians. All gladly made ready for death." (Italics added.)
The second point concerns not just finding the truth, but revealing it. If Wikipedia contains mistakes, it also offers people the opportunity to correct those mistakes. In this world of user-generated content — and that includes most of the content on the Web — people should have a sense of responsibility to contribute to the process of truth-telling, of building knowledge tools that work. It's good to learn how to distinguish the true from the false. It's better to share the truth you have found with as many others as you can reach.

text: Advisors go public to win top clients Advisors are increasingly focused on the 1 per cent, but a new report is validating the focus on a much-maligned group of workers. That research from a Canadian business group suggests those working in government have far more to save and invest than the rest of us. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business suggests the average private sector worker earns $8,150 less per year while working six hours more per week than those in the public sector. The cost of this disparity to the tax coffers of governments, both provincial and federal, in this country? $20 billion annually. "The public-private wage gap is the elephant in every room when it comes to setting the public policy agenda in this country," said Ted Mallett, chief economist and vice-president at CFIB. "Public sector earnings have been allowed to drift well above market-tested norms, and cash-strapped governments are looking for ways to invest in infrastructure and other priorities. Closing the gap is not just what's fair, it's what is needed." A pay gap exists between public and private sector workers in all of the provinces except Alberta where private sector workers make 4.3 percent more than their public sector counterparts. So, advisors in every part of the country except Alberta should be prospecting for public sector employees? That depends on how you view the entire contents of the report. read more > 1 2 SHARE

A tricky exercise for you today!
Choose the correct word in each sentence.
All of these words are very common, but very easy to confuse. Let me know which questions give you problems and I will explain the reason.
Who can get 10/10?
When someone does not have money we can say they are poor. It is an adjective.
"A poor man."
The noun form of poor is poverty.
"Many people in the world still live in poverty."
When you look in a mirror you see your own reflection, i.e. you see yourself. 'Yourself' is an example of a reflexive pronoun. Just as a mirror reflects your image, so does a reflexive pronoun reflect the subject pronoun!
Reflexive pronouns are used in two different ways:
Here's a basic look at prepositions. Sometimes even high-level English learners can forget which prepositions to use. This will be a good chance to review for some of you.
Complete these sentences using in, on, or at:
When you have finished write your own example sentences today's prepositions.
1 syllable adjectives. Add –er
Eg: cool = cooler
2+ syllable adjectives. Add more to the adjective
Eg: powerful = more powerful
Adjectives ending in –y. Remove –y and add –ier.
Eg: funny = funnier
A Intermediate level lesson for you today.
Spending a lot of time on English language sites is a great way to practice your English. Leaving comments (as you can on this site) is an even better way to practise.
When writing English you should be careful of tricky homonyms. A homonym is a word that sounds the same as another word but has a different spelling and different meaning.
For example: flower and flour.
Can you write a homonym for each each word below?

"Peter Falk, 83 year-old Academy Award nominee and star of television series, Columbo, died peacefully at his Beverly Hills home in the evening of June 23, 2011," said a statement issued by the attorney.

Here's the apparent culprit.This is a disconnected vent we should have taken out, but what's the problem as long as it doesn't leak, right?
So while we're watching, I mean supervising, the repairs we notice the strap that attaches the power line to the weatherhead. This is not good with another storm with high winds approaching.
So the local utility (PG&E) is contacted and they will be out "Sometime today". I disconnect any expensive electronics I can think of that might be ruined by a catastrophic failure, and then wait....and wait. They didn't say by 5 or by midnight. So I rig up a tensioning ratchet rope to prevent total failure, and then reconnect everything I had disconnected. I turn on the computer and the tech shows up. So now it's about 2 pm. It's starting to get dark again. The tech doesn't have the part, and besides I've rigged up a nice system! They'll get to it next week.
I pack up and leave trying to think of anything I've forgotten and also thinking about whether I trust the setup I left. Two miles down the road I realize I've left my good shoes back at the house and I don't feel good about what I left.
I turn around, it starts to rain. Halfway back there are two lightening strikes in the ocean. Should I get up on the roof? I'm really not happy with the set up. It's raining harder. I get home, grab the ladder, get up on the roof and fix the set up and get down ASAP.

Make sure you carve out time in your day to read. (I recommend the early mornings before everyone is awake.) Read for at least one hour a day. If that's too much, start with 20 minutes [a day] and do it for one month (habit). Develop a belief that reading is the quickest way to success. It will make reading a breeze, and extremely fun/rewarding (if you're driven by success). The most successful people in the world attribute their success to reading a lot of books (Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Elon Musk).
Although it may sound counter-productive to set aside reading time when really what you're looking for is motivation to work hard, sometimes it's necessary to do something seemingly unrelated to tackle the task at hand. Developing a
April 120 sandals Buy Cheap Purchase New Lower Prices QBqQWP8h
is one thing that's likely to have a long-lasting impact on your thought processes, ultimately inspiring you in all areas of your life.
Doing things that don't mean anything costs [us] a ton of mental energy. Look at your aggregated to-do list, find things you know that you don't care about, and get rid of as many of these activities as possible. You will stay more consistently motivated if you're working on activities that are inherently meaningful or are part of a larger mission.
Look very carefully and closely at your list, and shave off anything that's both truly demotivating and unnecessary for you to do. It's not always best to finish what you started if, down the line, you can't even remember the reason you started something in the first place.
Entrepreneurs tend to stray from the typical 8 to 5 workday, and global accessibility through emails and Skype makes it more than easy to have a 24-hour workday. But it's important to recognize when enough is enough. Set a realistic quitting time for yourself, and stick to it most days of the week. Stop answering emails after 8 PM, or take Sundays off. You'll feel more refreshed and more productive when you allow yourself some down time.
Raise your hand if you're motivated 24/7! I didn't think I'd see any hands. It's unrealistic to feel energized all the time, to want to plow through tasks all the time. You need to give yourself a rest, and if that means giving yourself a specified set time to unplug or turn away from the demands of your job, then do it. It's likely to help you perform harder and smarter in the hours that you do

To get motivated to start doing something, from my own experience, the most effective trick for me is to just do it (sounds trite, but it works). As soon as you think something needs to be done, jump into it, doing it immediately (of course, provided the conditions are feasible). You must not think about anything else, suppressing all other thoughts, keeping your mind blank, acting like a robot. Yes, it sounds weird, but it does work! Otherwise, you will debate whether you should do it now or there were too many issues with doing it, or there are other more pleasurable and exciting things to do over this boring task.
No catastrophic injuries or fatalities were encountered in our study population.
Fractures and sprains were the most frequent injury patterns.
An effective precaution would be to provide all Schwingen players with protective gear such as headgear, mouthguards and knee pads.
Maximising the ring area and using optimal material for its surface may also reduce injuries in Schwingen.
Swiss wrestling ('Schwingen') is a traditional and popular Swiss national sport.
As described by the Swiss Schwingen Federation (Eidgenössischer Schwingerverband), two strong wrestlers are pitted against each other trying to bring down the opponent with special swings and grips.
2 3
It is a hard sport, sometimes regarded as a martial art, in which both strength and technique play crucial roles (
Cheap Sale Ebay 2018 New Cheap Price ASYMMETRIC Slipons black With Paypal Sale Online Free Shipping Release Dates Browse For Sale f8rqkXKU3w
). During the year, many wrestling festivals take place all over Switzerland and every 3 years the new champion (Swiss Wrestling King—Schwingen König) is chosen.
(A, B) Schwingen is a physical fight between two competitors and has its own rules, grips and throws. It is carried out on a circular sawdust padded surface.
Schwingen differs from competitive wrestling in many respects. It is practised on sawdust, most of the grips are fixed and the wrestlers wear jerseys or shirts and long trousers, over which short wrestling breeches made of jute are worn. Originally only a few throws were in use but current wrestling manuals describe around 100 different throws.
4 5
Each bout lasts 5 min.

It is ended either when time runs out or when a wrestler touches the ground with his back, either completely or simultaneously at the level of the middle of both shoulder blades, which should lie within the circle of sawdust. 7 In the case of a 'set gear', the more active wrestler is the winner. There are no weight classes or any other categories. Schwingers are usually large men, over 180 cm tall and weighing in excess of 100 kg, mostly craftsmen from traditional professions that require physical strength, like carpenters, lumberjacks or cheesemakers.
Because of the wrestlers' strength and the absence of protective equipment, there is a risk of a wide variety of injuries. This study aimed to determine the incidence and risk from patients visiting our emergency department after Schwingen injuries. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no previous systematic review of Schwingen accidents. This is therefore the first in-depth study of injuries and injury patterns caused by Schwingen. Furthermore, the results should potentially prevent injuries.
The University Department of Emergency Medicine of the Inselspital Bern serves as a level I centre for patients older than 16 years, and commands a catchment area of 1.5 million people. It treats more than 45 000 patients each year.
Our study was performed as a retrospective database query of all patients admitted to or initially treated in the emergency department from 1 January 2006 to 1 July 2016. The software used were Qualicare (Qualidoc, Trimbach, Switzerland) and E.Care (E.Care, Turnhout, Belgium). There was no restriction to active wrestlers. 8
The database entries comprise basic demographic data as well as relevant historical details of medical symptoms or the type of accident. The database also provided the results of clinical consultations and examinations, together with medical and traumatological diagnoses and information on treatment after admission. The short-term outcome was defined by the type of care given to each patient (outpatient, inpatient, intermediate care unit (IMC), surgery or no surgery) and recorded as well.
The database entries comparise basic demographic data (age, gender), as well as relevant historical details of medical symptoms or the type of accident (injury type, injury area, mechanism of injury,route of admission to the hospital and treatment).
All calculations and graphs were performed with the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
A total of 38 cases from 1 January 2006 to 1 July 2016 were initially identified as being related to Schwingen accidents. After rigorous inspection of each file, six patients were excluded from further analysis as they were found not to be related to Schwingen.

Prosecutors charge man accused of crashing into Steve 'The Homer' True
Prosecutors charge man accused of crashing into Steve 'The Homer' True
The man police said hit and injured local radio personality Steve "The Homer" True had cocaine in his system at the time of the crash.
Prosecutors said Robert Harris had a detectable amount of cocaine in his system when he ran a red light and smashed into True's car in November near Fond du Lac and Hampton avenues.
According to the criminal complaint, Harris also admitted to police he had been drinking earlier in the day.
True, a former member of the WISN 12 News team, suffered a serious head injury.
The "Vvoice of Marquette" was released from the hospital a couple days later and returned to his job at 540 ESPN radio the next week.

I like the simple explanations you give your readers. I ask why is it that the parents of long ago used to stop us from touching cats' hair. That we would cough?
Dear Shaban,
An allergy is the body's over-reaction to the usually encountered substances.
Skin itching with or without a rash, a running nose or even an asthmatic attack may indicate an allergic reaction.
There are substances that are more likely to provoke an allergic reaction, including pollen and dander (dead skin from the animal).
But contrary to popular belief that it is cat's hair that cause's allergies (and therefore the warning by parents not to touch cat hair), it is proteins in the cat's saliva, urine, and dander (dried flakes of skin) that people with cat allergy react to.
Cats may also carry outdoor allergic substances such as pollen.
Today with so many allergic reactions, when children have severe allergies including to cats, it is advised that victims of allergy avoid exposure to cats by keeping them outdoor, washing them or in the extreme avoiding keeping the cats.
I always had water but nowadays I don't. This scares me and I think my husband will get another woman. I was given Lasix tablets by a local nurse but I have not improved. What can I do to preserve my marriage?
Dear Louisa,
Much as you only fear for your marriage, vaginal dryness may lead to painful sex, leading to loss of sex drive apart from failing to reach orgasm or risking urinary tract infections. Also, vaginal dryness may result from diabetes or Sjögren's syndrome requiring proper investigation and treatment.
That said, the dryness may be due to hormonal problems of menopause, breastfeeding, childbirth and hormonal contraception. These may require use of water-based lubricants to stem.
Many Ugandan men do not romance much, especially after they have erected hence failing to make a woman properly aroused leading to dry sex.
Lasix may cause one to produce and pass more urine. Instead of improving vaginal lubrication, Lasix may actually worsen the dryness if one does not replace the water lost through over urinating.
I am a 24-year-old man but I have breasts like a woman. Could it be because I enjoy women sucking my breasts?
Dear Sam,
Development of big breasts in men (gynaecomastia) can be a source of great distress in adolescent boys and especially when the breasts produce milk.
Breast prominence can result from increase in breast tissue, chest skin or fat tissue or a combination of all. Today, many MEN have big breasts because of obesity with excessive fat in the breast area (pseudogynaecomastia).
Gynaecomastia can occur physiologically in new-borns, adolescents, and in the elderly due to related imbalance in sex hormones. Female hormones (Oestrogens) lead to development of breast tissue and male ones (testosterone) suppress this.
If male hormones reduce as happens with aging, castration and obesity (fat changes male to female hormones) or female hormones increase, breast development inevitably occurs.
Breast enlargement is mostly benign requiring only counselling. That said, the enlargement has to be investigated and addressed appropriately according to the cause. Where gynaecomastia is related to puberty but not due to obesity, the breast development shrinks or disappears with time.
With obesity, one has to cut weight to reduce the problem, though even then one may never regain a flat man's chest. In case of the breasts causing much distress surgery to remove excess breast or fat tissue may be appropriate.
Why are people who suffer from diabetes encouraged to take honey instead of sugar yet honey is sweeter?
Dear Amos,
When a person eats food rich in carbohydrates or sugars, they are digested into a simple sugar called glucose, which gives us energy. This sugar may become too much in the blood if the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or produces ineffective insulin leading to glucose accumulating in blood and getting too high.
Diabetes is mostly caused by lifestyles that lead to obesity. In this case, the pancreas will not produce enough insulin for a bigger body.
Controlling blood sugar levels is the major goal of diabetes treatment, and involves a suitable diet, physical exercise and monitoring blood glucose levels.
Though the total amount of carbohydrates in food affects blood sugar levels more than the source of carbohydrates (whether the source is a starch or sugar), generally, there is no advantage of substituting honey for sugar when one is diabetic.
Both honey and sugar will increase the blood sugar levels, with honey being the worst offender because it is even sweeter than sugar.
It is true that honey is more nutritious than sugar and when sugar is well controlled (or is very low), one may take honey once in a while but it is better to leave it out all together if it has to be taken routinely or when one's sugar is high or out of control.

What the numbers show
In the winter issue of Santa Clara Magazine, I was interested to read Cathy Horan-Walker's report on the long, slow decline in alumni contributions, recently reversed but still well below 20 percent. In the same issue is a piece titled "What do the numbers show?" quoting business magazines which describe SCU as providing a good "bang for the buck," and ranking it high on the list of colleges that "will make you rich." That made me wonder: Do alumni support a school because it made them rich? And doesn't the phrase bring up greed, that dreadful drain on hope, and on its product, social vitality?
I always feel glad and deeply grateful when I send my annual contribution, because my alma mater and the Society of Jesus showed me better ways of making choices. Santa Clara's cheerful and confident instruction in matters such as faith, reason, ethics, and service gave me powerful antidotes to toxins like greed, though I must still pour the dose myself. I'm grateful to those who showed me those alternatives, and optimistic about today's students of my favorite school. I know many other alumni have walked similar paths, love their SCU, and donate for the same reason.
And by the way, Santa Clara Magazine is a fantastic magazine. I appreciate your superb editorial work, and the equally fine work of the entire staff. It's always a delight to find the magazine in my mailbox.

This edition brought home to me how much SCU has changed in 60 years—and not always for the better. Certainly the University then would never have thought to boast of its position on the list of "colleges that will make you rich" [Mission Matters, Winter 2010]; the Jesuits then seemed to have other values on their minds. Next, we see that by 1970 there were classes only four days a week. During much of my time as a student, six days was more the norm, including Saturday-morning labs. The sad news of the death of my classmate Gene Fisher '50 [In Memoriam, Winter 2010], hired soon after graduation to spend many years on the mechanical engineering faculty, reminds me that although he was a good man and surely a fine teacher, he would not even be granted an interview today—no doctorate or even a master's of science; no teaching experience; no research career; no publications list. And finally, no one in 1950 felt that the Quonset hut serving as our "student activities center" needed a "disco ball" hung from a 20-foot ceiling.

Thanks for the article [on the Catala Club, Winter 2010]. My mother, Dorothy Gomes, was active in Catala Club for many years after I graduated. She was grateful for what SCU did for me as well as for her and wanted to give back.

Shame on Santa Clara Magazine for dishonoring Winnie Hook, a wise and holy old woman, with the condescending description "104 years young" [Winter 2010]. Our culture despises elders, especially elder women, who are most likely to live in poverty or—if wealthy—to resort to plastic surgery to hide the natural aging of their sacred bodies. Glitzy Hollywood magazines fuel this climate by treating "old" as the highest insult and "young" as the greatest compliment. I expect much better from my alma mater, which claims to represent Gospel values, and its magazine.

Combat engineering on the iPhone
Many of us in engineering are proud to read the story of our student John Judnich '13 in the recent issue of Santa Clara Magazine ["An app with real firepower," Winter 2010]. However, we notice a critical error in the article. John is a computer engineering major (which is in the Department of Computer Engineering within the School of Engineering), not a computer science major (which is in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science within the College of Arts and Sciences). As the chair of the Department of Computer Engineering, I feel compelled to correct this error; our department and school should receive the rightful credit and recognition. John has been and is supported by several grant programs within our department and the school; these include our Kuehler undergraduate research grant for him to work on a 3-D graphics project and our National Science Foundation S-STEM fellowship for each of his four years as an undergraduate major in our department. He also serves as a lab assistant in one of our undergraduate courses. Unquestionably, John is an exceptional student, and our department and school have invested academically and financially to retain him here at SCU.

Bedtime story
|Experimenting engineers: How high can they go?
Photo: SCU Archives
Reading the winter print copy of the Santa Clara Magazine, I was pretty amazed to find myself and other members of the second-floor McLaughlin back on our bunkbed in the spring of 1970 [page 8, "Santa Clara Snapshot: 1970"]. And I mean "our bunk bed," as to get it up to the height of the third floor took all our beds, and all our bodies!
Thanks to a higher resolution of the photo [courtesy of the SCU Archives], I and friends who were in the photo were able to discern seven of us on the bed: Jeff Miller, Jack Folchi, Tom Battle, Bob Wilson, Dan Rice, Matt O'Brien, and Dave Adler. All of us were in the class of '73. Five of us were electrical engineers, Dan and Dave business majors. All of us lived on the second floor of McLaughlin. My roommate, Jack Folchi, and I had been hosting some amount of parties and a resting place for "day students" in our room—210 McLaughlin. That had prompted us to procure a third level for our room's bunk bed from a bed that had been abandoned in the hallway. This third bed was almost at the ceiling, allowing a person to slide in.
Those McLaughlin bunk beds were of the industrial sort—heavy-duty steel. Looking at our triple one day, we got to speculating how many beds one might stack. As this would take open space, we decided to build as tall as we might—outside. We waited for a quiet weekend day with no resident assistants or Jesuits in sight, and built on the concrete walkway between McLaughlin and Walsh dorms.
As we went upward with the beds from our rooms, the bed developed a side-to-side sway. If you look at the picture, you can see two guy wires that we attached to the third story McLaughlin fire escape. There were two others attached to the Walsh fire escape, obscured in the photo by the sky. At that ninth level of bed, we decided we'd reached the limit of lateral stability, although the beds clearly could have supported more above!
Most important of all, we were not caught in the act. No authority figure ever arrived, and we disassembled and replaced the beds in our rooms without detection.

Our lovely Ship
As usual, I'm thoroughly elated with the quality of this magazine. However, I perceive an error in the letter by William P. Crawford '43 [Winter 2010], and in the spirit of future editorial competence, I offer my recollection of the origin of the theater's nickname, The Ship. Having performed on that stage a number of times, I often heard that the nickname is due to the building having been built to seaworthy standards that mimic soundworthy standards, much like the Mormon Tabernacle: all wood and wooden dowels—no nails. Like true sailors on the sea of make-believe, we thespians came to love our Ship, but mainly for its acoustics.

A legendary lawyer
|Carry the ball: Manny Gomez '39, J.D. '42 shows how to do it.
Photo: SCU Archives
I read of the recent passing of an SCU law school graduate described as one of the first Latinos recruited to SCU law school [in the 1970s]. It should be noted that Santa Clara University Athletic Hall of Famer Manny C. Gomez '39, J.D. '42, was recruited by Santa Clara from Coachella Valley back in the late 1930s. (I know something about Manny since, in addition to being the father of an SCU alum, I am Manny's son-in-law). Manny was born in Chihuahua, Mexico, and considered himself a Mexican (not a Latino, Chicano, Mexican American or any of the other labels used by the media). He was amused by all of these labels. He was an American who was born in Mexico.
John A. Saunders
Manny Gomez was also a bit of a legend—as the obituary of him in the San Jose Mercury News in April 1993 notes, and which Mr. Saunders was kind enough to share. Gomez was originally recruited to SCU to play basketball. "As the story goes," the Merc recounts, "Harlan Dykes, basketball coach at Santa Clara University, saw Manny's younger brother, Ramon, play basketball and inquired about the possibility of his playing for him. Their mother said, 'No, but you can take my older son.'" In fact, football turned out to be Gomez's sport; he played for Buck Shaw's team in 1936 and "ran the opening kickoff of the first game back 43 yards and almost scored. He did score the first touchdown in that Bronco victory over Stanford." The team went all the way to the Sugar Bowl and beat Louisiana State 21–14. But the bowl game took its toll on Gomez; he contracted pneumonia and was so ill that one newspaper account reported him dead. "He licked the pneumonia, [but] he contracted tuberculosis." He recovered after months in the campus infirmary, but his football days were through. His days as a lawyer, "pretty much serving all comers," as Mr. Saunders told the Merc, were yet to come.— Ed.
Fr. Fagothey's wisdom
Seeing the photograph of Fr. Austin Fagothey in the Winter edition of Santa Clara Magazine evoked my lasting image of him standing on a desk at the head of the classroom, eyes firmly affixed on the ceiling (or perhaps heavens), open palm of his hand placed firmly on his forehead, imparting knowledge to his awed spectators. Although we often joked about his methods, his wisdom had a profound effect on all of us.

A Jesuit legacy in Mexico
The Winter SCM contained a thought-provoking speech by the Jesuit Superior General at the meeting in Mexico City ["Shaping the future"]. The Jesuits have a long history in Mexico, especially with the indigenous people. As documented in one of the California Legacy Series books [see "Good Lit" in the same issue] by SCU professors Rose Marie Beebe and Robert M. Senkewicz, Lands of Promise and Despair, the Jesuits financed the California missions starting in Baja California with Father Juan Maria de Salvatierra founding Loretto, named after his hometown on the eastern coast of Italy.
The Jesuits founded missions south and north from there up to the Baja California border with Alta California. Then the Jesuits fell out of favor with the European royalty, and the missions were turned over to the Franciscans in Alta California and the Dominicans in Baja California. If the Jesuits had continued to control the missions they might have evolved very differently.
Although not a legacy book, A History of Alta California by Antonio Osio, translated by professors Beebe and Senkewicz, inspired the writing of the legacy book. I am extremely grateful to both of these historians for translating this memoir from the original Spanish manuscript written in 1850, including mexicanismos, which are Mexican Spanish words not found in any Spanish dictionary. This is a very profound book capturing the culture of a people as it still exists today, and it should be required reading in all California public schools.

ROCKLAND COUNTY, N.Y. -- In his continuing fight against the opioid epidemic raging across Rockland County and the country, Rockland County Executive Ed Day announced Tuesday that the county is taking legal action against pharmaceutical companies that made and sold prescription opioids that contributed to the epidemic.
"This opioid epidemic is exacting a huge toll on Rockland County both in terms of lives lost and the cost of medical and psychological care to treat the victims," he said.
So far this year, there have been 16 drug-related deaths in Rockland County, all but one involving opioids, according to Day.
Day submitted a resolution to the Rockland County Legislature Tuesday to authorize representation by the New York City law firm of Simmons Hanly Conroy, a leader in the field of opioid litigation.
The legislature is being asked to authorize a contract that may exceed $100,000 to begin the legal process.
"Not a cent of this cost will come from the pockets of our Rockland taxpayers," Day said. "This cost will be paid from any settlement they reach on our behalf if there is one. If not, we don't have to pay."
SHC is representing numerous counties in New York, including Suffolk, Orange, Erie, and Broome as well as governments and institutions across the nation.
The law firm has a long history with this type of litigation. They started in 2003 with legal action against Purdue Pharma LLP and Abbott Laboratories, Inc., for damages suffered by more than 5,000 clients prescribed the opioid OxyContin.
"We want accountability. We want justice. That is why we are using the legal system to bring this deadly epidemic back to the corporations that started it – the pharmaceutical companies," he said. "They need to take responsibility."
A 2016 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the total economic burden of prescription opioid and heroin abuse nationwide is $78.5 billion annually, with a quarter of that amount paid by government programs funded by the taxpayer.
Along with the resolution, Day submitted letters of support for the legal action from District Attorney Thomas Zugibe, Commissioner of Health Dr. Patricia Schnabel Ruppert and Commissioner of Mental Health Michael Leitzes.
"I fully support this litigation and commend our county executive for this initiative. The pharmaceutical companies that manufacture and distribute these opioid analgesics are simply legalized drug dealers that deliberately manipulated medical providers for the purpose of maximizing profits," said Zugibe. "Their reprehensible conduct has cost the lives of thousands of Americans and destroyed the lives of many more. It is unfortunate that criminal penalties aren't available to address their conduct."
Rockland County has also taken the battle into the community by offering the opioid antidote Narcan to residents in case they ever need to administer it to someone suffering an overdose.
Day will be at the Fire Training Center Wednesday where 100 county employees will learn how to administer Narcan.
"We will fight on every front to save lives," he said.

|U6 promoter enhanced GlnUAG suppressor tRNA has higher suppression efficacy and can be stably expressed in 293 cells.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23303531 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|BACKGROUND: Nearly one third of all human genetic diseases are due to nonsense mutations that can result in truncated proteins. Nonsense suppressor tRNAs (NSTs) were proposed as valuable tools for gene therapy of genetic diseases caused by premature termination codons (PTCs). Although various strategies were adapted over the years to increase NST expression and efficacy, low suppression efficacies of NSTs and toxicity associated with stable expression of suppressor tRNAs have hampered development of NST mediated gene therapy. METHODS: We have employed the U6 promoter to enhance Gln-Amber suppressor tRNA (GlnUAG) expression and increase the PTC suppression in mammalian cells. In an attempt to study toxic effects of NSTs, a stable 293 cell line constitutively expressing a U6 promoter enhanced GlnUAG tRNA was established. To examine if any proteomic changes occurred in cells that constitutively express suppressor tRNA, whole cell proteins from cells with and without any suppressor tRNA expression were analyzed. RESULTS: Our data suggest that U6 promoter enhanced Gln-Amber suppressor tRNAs (GlnUAG) have higher suppression efficacies, than multimers of the same suppressor tRNA without a U6 promoter. Proteomic analysis of cells constitutively expressing the GlnUAG suppressor tRNA indicates that stable expression of NSTs may not lead to significant read through of normal cellular proteins. CONCLUSIONS: Since most tRNAs have cell-specific differential expression, this technique will enable expression of different kinds of suppressor tRNAs in various cell types at high, functionally relevant levels. The techniques developed here may contribute to the further development of suppressor tRNA mediated gene therapy. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

South African Graduate Student Plans to Bring Education to Her People
By Jennifer Donovan | Published
Nelson Mandela, who led the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, once said: "It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mine worker can become the head of the mine, that a child of farm workers can become the president of a great nation. It is what we make of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another."
Nelson Mandela is Taile (pronounced Dah-ee-lay) Leswifi's hero. And the Michigan Technological University PhD student from South Africa is certainly following his counsel. She is making the most of what she has: an aptitude for science and math, the problem-solving mindset of an engineer, a deep commitment to improving life for the people of her native land, and a fierce dedication to communicating to coming generations of South African children that education is the key that can open the doors of their world.
Studying environmental engineering on Fulbright and PEO Sisterhood scholarships, Leswifi is researching new ways to produce a sustainable, renewable, low-cost source of hydrogen energy from water and sunlight, energy that does not add to the pollution of the environment. She is also preparing herself to teach at Tshwane University of Technology back in South Africa, where she plans to work with a South African Fulbright group to take the promise of success through education to children in remote reaches of her country.
"I can't change all of South Africa by myself," she says, "but if I can change the mindset of one person, then that person can change one other person, and that's the way real change takes root."
Leswifi knows about the challenge of living in a remote area. She grew up in one herself, the small town of Phalaborwa in northern South Africa. When she was small, apartheid was still the law of land. It deprived black South Africans of citizenship and gave them limited access to education, health care and other public services. Blacks could only get jobs considered undesirable by whites. Racial segregation was total and enforced by law.
Like 8 out of 10 of the men in her town, Leswifi's father was a laborer, a truck driver for the Palabora copper mine. During the early 1990s, when Leswifi was just a toddler, union workers began to stage protests, and the Leswifi house became their hiding place, a haven from stonings, tire burnings and riots on the streets.
"I was delighted to see so many people in my house," she recalls. "I didn't understand the danger they were hiding from. I mistook the fires and the riot crowds for a festive atmosphere. I didn't realize the hatred behind the stoning."
Although not well educated, Leswifi's father was a curious man who never hesitated to ask anyone—white or black—about mining or anything else he wanted to understand. And the girl's mother, prevented by apartheid from completing her education beyond elementary school, established a preschool in her house to motivate black children to aspire to a better life through education.
It was an atmosphere of intellectual stretching that served the bright, inquisitive child well. She finished high school with outstanding marks in math and science and informed her family that she wanted to be an engineer.
That didn't please Leswifi's father. "He wanted me to be a medical doctor," she recalls. "But I interacted well with boys, and I didn't think it would be a problem working in a male-dominated field." Understanding where his daughter's talents and interests lay, her father came to support her decision.
Leswifi headed off to college at Tshwane University of Technology in Pretoria, about 288 miles from her home. There she completed bachelor's and master 's degrees in chemical engineering.
For the first time in her life, history was on her side. Apartheid had ended in 1993, and all over South Africa, people were working hard to make up for lost opportunities.
Tshwane University of Technology, with only one woman on its chemical and metallurgical engineering department, was eager to attract and hold qualified black women faculty members. The university hired her as a teaching graduate assistant to teach a lab and a class, with the promise of a professorship saved for her until she earned her PhD.
But a PhD seemed out of reach. "I had no money to continue studying," Leswifi explains.
Then she heard about the American-based Fulbright scholarships available to outstanding international students to pursue graduate studies in the US. She applied and received a Fulbright to attend Michigan Tech.
Through the Fulbright network, Leswifi learned of another source of financial help for international graduate students: the PEO International Peace Scholarship. A Keweenaw area chapter of PEO, a philanthrophic organization that supports education and achievement for women, sponsored her application, and soon she'd been awarded her that scholarship too.
"PEO's Chapter DJ in Houghton considers itself very fortunate to be able to help a young woman of Taile's caliber," says Barbara Been, chapter president.
The only South African student at Michigan Tech, Leswifi said she has felt right at home in Houghton—"except for the weather," she laughs, describing her home near the northern border of South Africa as "hot and hotter."
"Everyone has been so nice to me here," Leswifi says. "I didn't even feel homesick for a long time.
Historically both her home town and Houghton are mining communities, and they're about the same size. The newcomer did notice some differences though, in addition to the long, snowy winters. "There are so many churches here, but most of them seem to be empty," she remarks. "At home, our churches are packed every Sunday."
The dark-skinned young woman says she has experienced no racial prejudice at Michigan Tech or in the surrounding community. "Here, I never felt that I am black," she observes.
But her first visit home last December "reminded me of the harsh reality," says Leswifi. She and a group of black friends were in a mall, waiting for an elevator. Some older white women were waiting too. "We let them get on the elevator ahead of us, because we'd been taught to let older people go first, not because they were white," she recalls. Then, as Leswifi and her friends moved to board the elevator, one of the white women thrust out her hand to stop them, as if exclaiming "halt!"
"It made me mad and sad at the same time," the graduate student says.
But it didn't discourage her. "Yes, we have been oppressed, but I am not going to let it push me down," she declares. "You have to help yourself before anyone else can help you. I owe it to my parents to try. Even if I fail, at least I tried."
Failure seems an unlikely outcome for Taile Leswifi.
"Taile is a very hardworking and motivated individual," says her PhD advisor, David Hand, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Michigan Tech. "Her research involves the development of photocatalysts that can produce hydrogen gas from sunlight and water. Presently, she is working with known photocatalysts to understand their electronic and catalytic properties, to help in her synthesis of new, more active catalysts."
The doctoral student has been at Michigan Tech for two years and anticipates finishing her PhD in two more.
"After she completes her degree, Taile plans on teaching and performing research in her home country of South Africa," Hand went on to say. "She has the drive and ambition necessary to become a successful university scholar."
Michigan Technological University is a public research university, home to more than 7,000 students from 54 countries. Founded in 1885, the University offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science and technology, engineering, forestry, business and economics, health professions, humanities, mathematics, and social sciences. Our campus in Michigan's Upper Peninsula overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway and is just a few miles from Lake Superior.

James Wharton: The MP behind the EU referendum bill
He could be the man who starts the UK's exit from the European Union, but few nationally would have heard of James Wharton before May this year.
That was transformed when he came top of the ballot for private members' bills and announced he would be bringing forward legislation to pave the way for a referendum on our EU membership.
But who exactly is the Stockton South MP?
I first met James Wharton in 2007 on the High Street in Yarm. He'd been selected early by the Conservatives to try and win the seat from Labour incumbent Dari Taylor.
What I encountered was a very young man - at the time he was 23 - and in fact he looked even younger than that. I wouldn't have been surprised if he'd been from the local sixth form.
I confess - and this is my prejudice - that at the time I found it hard to believe he was the man to win the seat.
But it did become quite clear fairly soon that the boyish appearance hid a sharp political brain.
He might have looked younger than his age, but the solicitor and former Officer Training Corps cadet sounded older.
And he fought an assiduous and skilled campaign to win in Stockton South, and become the youngest Conservative MP in Parliament.
It was not an inconsiderable achievement. He had become one of just two North East Conservative MPs in a region dominated by Labour.
He also did it by being unapologetically Conservative.
And over the last three years he has never shied away from defending coalition policy on everything from welfare changes to the stewardship of the economy.
He has been a vocal backer of plans for a free school in his constituency, despite it causing some controversy.
And he's also an admirer of Margaret Thatcher.
While some North East Conservatives decided to keep their tributes low key when she died, he was more than keen to trumpet what he saw as her positive impact on the region.
At times, he can almost appear like "the only Tory in the village". But, as he can rightly point out, he is actually articulating the views of the 25% or so of the North East's electorate that do vote Conservative.
But he has a problem.
His majority is a wafer-thin 332, and Labour would privately say that he struck lucky in 2010.
The closure of the steelworks in nearby Redcar led to an anti-Labour backlash in Teesside at the last election with significant swings against the party in all the local seats.
That resulted in the Lib Dems winning in Redcar, but it may also have helped James Wharton get over the finishing line in Stockton South.
Labour are confident they can end Mr Wharton's time as Stockton South MP in 2015.
Some have suggested privately to me that James Wharton's sponsorship of an EU referendum bill may well be closely connected with his career ambitions beyond 2015.
And perhaps you can understand why.
If the worst happened, and James Wharton lost Stockton South, the Conservative hierarchy may be more willing to help him rebuild his career now he's become the MP who'll deliver that bill.
In addition, his name will now be familiar to Conservative associations throughout the UK, whose members by and large may be very sympathetic to a prominent Eurosceptic when it comes to selection meetings.
But even if any of that is true, there's no question that James Wharton does believe in the principle of what he's doing.
He is a Eurosceptic, and although he doesn't necessarily want to see the UK leave the EU, he does want Britain's relationship with Europe to change.
And he says his postbag in his constituency has helped convince him that it's what many Teesside voters want too.
It's one of the reasons he's convinced that his brand of Conservatism will appeal to Stockton South's voters again in 2015.
By then it's possible he may have become one of the few MPs to have ever seen their private members' bill become law.
Labour will hope that will be one of his final acts as Stockton South's MP.
But what I've learned about James Wharton in the last six years is that he's a politician you underestimate at your peril.

Phil Brooks (born 1978-10-26), better known by his ring name, CM Punk, is an American professional wrestler.
Popular quotes
1) Do you know what its like going through life being better than everybody? Its hard.
2) I drink this [whiskey glass] and I'm just another JBL? you don't get it, I'm not like you. I'm not JBL, I'm CM Punk! Sometimes it's what you don't do that makes you who you are.
3) "There's one thing you're better at than I am, and that's kissing Vince McMahon's ass. You're as good as kissing Vince's ass as Hulk Hogan was." -To John Cena
4) To John Cena after the fans kept throwing his shirt back in the ring : "They didn't throw my shirt back".
5) I am the best wrestler in the world. I've been the best ever since day one when I walked into this company, and I've been vilified and hated since that day because Paul Heyman saw something in me that nobody else wanted to admit. That's right, I'm a Paul Heyman guy. You know who else was a Paul Heyman guy? Brock Lesnar, and he split just like I'm splitting, but the biggest difference between me and Brock is I'm going to leave with the WWE Championship.
I've grabbed so many of Vincent K. McMahon's imaginary brass rings that it's finally dawned on me that they're just that—they're completely imaginary. The only thing that's real is me, and the fact that day in and day out, for almost six years, I've proved to everybody in the world that I'm the best on this microphone, in that ring, even at commentary! Nobody can touch me! And yet no matter how many times I prove it, I'm not on your lovely little collector cups, I'm not on the cover of the program, I'm barely promoted, I don't get to be in movies, I'm certainly not on any crappy show on the USA Network, I'm not on the poster of WrestleMania, I'm not on the signature that's produced at the start of the show! I'm not on Conan O'Brien, I'm not on Jimmy Fallon, but the fact of the matter is I should be; and trust me, this isn't sour grapes, but the fact that Dwayne is in the main event of WrestleMania next year and I'm not makes me sick!
6) "Its Not a Belt, its a Championship Title!".
7) "I am The Catalyst of Change".
8) "This isn't CM Punk talking to Triple H, this is Phil Brooks talking to Paul Levesque!"
9) "Straight edge means I'm drug free, alcohol free, and better than you."
10) I hear you guys all the time talking about Daniel Bryan, trained by Shawn Michaels. One curious thing to me is, how come you guys never mention William Regal? William Regal did the real work with this young man. Shawn Michaels took $3,000 from him, that's all he ever did.
11) Until you announce me as the #1 contender for the WWE Championship, I suggest you watch me make snow angels.
12) July 17, 2011, will be the most historic day, not only in the career of CM Punk, it's gonna be a historic day for the WWE as a whole. Not only is July 17 the second annual Money in the Bank Ladder Match pay-per-view, it's the night I defeat John Cena for the WWE Championship. Now, here's that honesty I was talking about, that honesty that's probably gotten me in trouble more times than I'd like to admit, the brutal honesty I'm known for. July 17 is the day my contract with World Wrestling Entertainment comes to an end. That means when the clock strikes midnight, the 17th becomes the 18th, Sunday bleeds into Monday, I'm leaving. And trust me when I tell you I am leaving with the WWE Championship.
13) What you've lost sight of is what you are, and what you are is what you hate. You're the 10-time WWE Champion! You're the man! You, like the Red Sox, like Boston, are no longer the underdog! You're a dynasty. You are what you hate. You have become the New York Yankees!
14) Turn the music off because I have something to say, and I'm positive that everybody here wants to hear it, and everybody sitting at home has their DVRs fired up because they wanna hear it! I'm glad you just punched me in the face, John. I'm glad it went down this way because it hit me like a bolt of lightning—exactly why I no longer wanna be here, why I wanna leave. It's because I'm tired of this. I'm tired of you. I'm just tired. So ladies and gentlemen of the WWE Universe, Vince, John, Sunday night, say goodbye to the WWE Title, say goodbye to John Cena, and say goodbye to CM Punk! I'll go be the best in the world somewhere else.
15) Because here is the truth about Las Vegas, here is the truth about the WWE is that it doesn't matter that if you're the best wrestler, it doesn't matter if you're the best talker, it doesn't matter if you're the best overall performer, it doesn't matter if you make the two clowns sitting to my left on commentary look like amateur hour. There is a glass ceiling and nobody is allowed to break it. That's the simple story of this place. The more popular you are, the more money you make. The more you people cheer for any given superstar, the more opportunities you're afforded. Why do you think a guy like John Cena, who has admittedly had the worst year of his career, gets title shot after title shot after title shot after title shot? Or why a lethal grappler, why a serious submission specialist like Daniel Bryan puts a smile on his face and settles himself, belittles himself with catchphrases. Or why a 400 pound monster, Brodus Clay, soils his hands by touching your filthy, ugly, little children to get in the ring so he can shuck and jive for you. Or why an invisible child, Little Jimmy, is better positioned on the flagship show Monday Night RAW than a workhorse like Tyson Kidd.
16) If I— if I competed in Bruno Sammartino's era, I'd have been champion for 20 years, too. No, I'd have been champion for 30 years. Because wrestling one night a month at Madison Square Garden is easy. You never see a Hulk Hogan wrestle TLC matches against a superstar like Ryback. Because he had it easy. I wrestle physically demanding matches on free television, week in and week out. So much that my one year equals 30 of theirs. And I have attained this success, not— not because of you. I am successful not because of you. I am successful in spite of you.
17) Two types of people on this earth. Those born to be in the spotlight and those born to pay to see the people in the spotlight. Ladies and gentlemen, there's winner and losers. Guess which one you are. You're born to pay to see champions like me, it's not the other way round. And I'll be the first guy to come out here and admit it, I'm honest. I have never ever done this for any of you. There's superstars and there's nobodies. I am a superstar, you are all nobodies. And I'm a real superstar. Those real superstars, hell, if they're your friends, why don't they come out here and give you the millions and millions of dollars they earn? Why don't they lie in your pockets? 'Cause that's— that's not your position on earth.
18) "Storytime is over, Rock. Every time you want to 'bring it,' because it belongs to me, I'm just going to take it!".
19) "Don't let these tattoos fool you. I'm straight edge. I'm a man of great discipline; I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs... my addiction is wrestling - my obsession is competition. Discipline. My name is C...M...Punk."
20) "I grew up with an alcoholic father. He never beat me, he never raised a hand against my mother or anything like that, but I'd seen enough stupid and ridiculous things between that, my mother and her prescription pills, and just hanging out with an older crowd when I was a kid, that I didn't understand a lot of the fun to what partying was, so I just never did it. I didn't understand waking up next to somebody you don't remember going to bed with; I didn't understand getting, you know, blackout drunk and not remembering the good times you have with your buddies; and I feel so strongly about it that I've just always been this way—it just made sense."

Reid Temple's S.H.A.R.E. Ministry is a service of the Queen Jefferson Women's Missionary Society. Through it, the church serves as a S.H.A.R.E. Ministry Host Site and part of a network of organizations and volunteers called S.H.A.R.E. D.C. [WEBMASTER: LINK TO http://www.sharedc.org] that serves the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. The network functions like a food co-op, purchasing frozen meats, fish, and poultry as well as vegetables, fruits, and other staples in bulk at wholesale prices—often for less than half what you'd pay at the grocery store! S.H.A.R.E. D.C. Volunteers then divide the bulk orders into equal units, called packages, and transport the packages to the Host Sites for distribution to participating individuals and families.
Reid Temple S.H.A.R.E. is affordable, accessible, and convenient. Here's how it works:
Participants can sign up for S.H.A.R.E. distributions every 2nd Sunday after 7:30am and 9:45am services (or every 1st Sunday if a Monday holiday falls after the 2nd Sunday). S.H.A.R.E. food packages are distributed every 3rd and 4th Saturday from 8:30am to 9:30am. Sign-up and distribution activities take place on the Reid Temple-North Campus.
