Duda content to let his bat do the talking
NEW YORK -- Lucas Duda must come from the Teddy Roosevelt school of slugging.
Duda, fresh off an impressive power display in the Mets' 8-4 victory over San Diego on Wednesday night, preferred to shun the spotlight and to talk about his accomplishments in the scope of the team theme. Duda, who homered and doubled off a left-hander in the win, was asked five questions by the media on Wednesday night, and he answered them all in less than 150 words.
A few queries were deflected with a single sentence, and Duda even said that his homer -- which landed in the second deck of Citi Field's right-field porch -- was wind-aided. His teammates, though, were more than happy to step up and be effusive about the left fielder's night at the plate.
"I don't think that one was wind-aided. He didn't want to take credit for it," said first baseman Ike Davis, smiling at the very thought of Duda's reticence. "What amazing bat speed that guy has."
Duda, long considered an X-factor for the Mets, helped set the tone early on Wednesday. He drove a two-run shot off southpaw Clayton Richard in the second inning, and he came back to double and score in the fourth. And on this night, that was all the support starter Matt Harvey would need.
Harvey was incredible on Wednesday, pitching seven innings and facing one batter over the minimum. The right-hander walked two batters and gave up just one hit, but he kept San Diego honest by picking off a batter and coaxing a double play. Harvey, bolstered by offense, just couldn't be beat.
"Anytime they're pumping homers out of the ballpark, it's nice to see," said Harvey. "For me, I still have to stick with my approach and attack the glove and throw strikes. Whether it's 10-0 or 1-0, you still have to pitch. Things can turn quick in this game. I wanted to go out there and throw zeroes."
Duda, slotted sixth in the lineup, was asked directly Wednesday night if he needs to perform better against left-handed pitchers. The 27-year-old went into the game with just four home runs in 215 career at-bats against lefties compared to 25 homers in 573 at-bats against right-handers.
But true to form, Duda decided not to engage. He said he doesn't feel like he needs to prove he can hit lefties and that he has confidence that he can do it. His best moment in front of the microphones came moments later, when he was asked about the potential of the team's outfield.
"People are going to have their opinions and are going to say what they're going to say," said Duda, acknowledging the hyperactive local media market. "But I think that if you talk to all five outfielders, we show up pretty good out there. We're just going to play hard every day."
Nobody can question Duda's effort, but his consistency was an issue last year. Duda, a former seventh-round draftee, batted .249 with 12 home runs before the All-Star Game in 2012, but his offense withered away to a .214 mark with just three homers in 38 games after the break.
And he was hardly alone. The Mets batted .259 with 73 homers before the All-Star break and fell off to a .238 mark with 66 homers after the intermission. Davis surged after the break to reassure the Mets that he can be a difference-maker, but Duda's second half brought more questions than answers.
"That's the thing we talked about in Spring Training: The importance of making sure that Lucas has the kind of year that he's capable of having," said manager Terry Collins. "Ike's shown us that he's going to hit 30 homers. If Lucas is in that same bracket, this is a different team."
Indeed, if Duda is hitting, the middle of New York's batting order looks very different. David Wright is in the third slot, with Davis hitting cleanup behind him. Veteran Marlon Byrd batted fifth on Wednesday night and Duda slotted in sixth, and that foursome went 5-for-13 with six runs scored.
"If Duda locks down his spot, it's a game-changer," said Davis, lending perspective on a night when Duda's bat did the talking. "It would be like having three four-hole hitters in the game. He's got potential to hit over 30 home runs and to hit for a high average. He, honestly, can be a superstar."
That part remains to be seen, but Duda's game gave the Mets something to build upon. He didn't just pull a homer into the second deck, he also pulled a double and kept a rally alive with a walk in the fifth inning. Duda, to his credit, knew that it was just one night. But the Mets want to see more.
"Both Duda and Ike off a lefty is huge," said Collins. "If those two guys are swinging the bats like they can and driving in runs by hitting the ball in the seats, it's going to be a tough lineup to get through. There's going to be no breaks, because John Buck can do it. We know Marlon can do it."

WGN America is new to the scripted drama business, but its first series, "Salem," is looking like a scary winner.
The story of the infamous witch trials in 17th century Massachusetts, "Salem" will premiere April 20, the network has announced. It's second drama, "Manhattan," is set to start production in March in New Mexico with an eye on a July premiere.
A promo teaser for "Salem" features the voice of Seth Gabel, who plays Cotton Mather, a character described as a witch-hating aristocrat, as he warns the people of Salem that if they shows signs of being witches--and he spells those out--they will be burned at the stake.
Currently filming in Louisiana, "Salem" "explores how suspicion and fear gripped Salem and its residents, and reveals the truth that in Salem, the witches were real, but not who they seemed to be."
Joining Gabel is Shane West, looking much shaggier than he did in "Nikita." West plays John Alden, a war veteran and the onetime love of Salem's most powerful witch, Mary Sibley. Britsh actress Janet Montgomery stars as Mary, with former "Revenge" star Ashley Madekwe playing Mary's enigmatic, carnal accomplice. Xander Berkeley, another "Nikita" vet, plays chief politician Magistrate Hale, while Tamzin Merchant plays Anne Hale, an artist attracted to Alden, and Elise Eberle is the mysteriously afflicted Mercy Lewis.
Brannon Braga ("24," "Star Trek: The Next Generation," "Voyager" and "Enterprise") and Adam Simon ("The Haunting in Connecticut") co-created, executive produced and wrote the series.
"Manhattan" is set in Los Alamos, N.M. in the 1940s, when scientists at the Manhattan Project were racing to build the world's first atomic bomb. The drama explores the cost of secrets and the corrosive effect they have on individuals, families and their relationships.
Sam Shaw ("Masters of Sex") wrote the series and serves as executive producer with David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Marcy Ross. Thomas Schlamme ("The West Wing," "Sports Night") directs and also serves as executive producer. "Manhattan" is produced by Tribune Studios, in partnership with Skydance Television and Lionsgate Television.
The network also announced at the Television Critics Associaton winter tour that it has ordered a 10-part scripted event series titled "Ten Commandments" from The Weinstein Company. Ten filmmakers will take part in the production, with each one choosing a single Commandment and interpreting it in their own way. Gus Van Sant, Lee Daniels, Jim Sheridan, Wes Craven and Michael Cera have signed on so far, WGN America has said. Bruce Cohen and Bob Weinstein will produce the series.

The state of Louisiana received one of it's Christmas presents a tad early as we welcomed the 2nd cohort of whooping cranes on December 1st! The weather was perfect and so was the arrival of the second group of cranes that will be released into the Louisiana marshes sometime during the next month.
The cranes arrived in style in two USFWS planes equipped with floats for water landings. They departed early Thursday morning from the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in Laurel, Maryland and made two stops for fuel before arriving in Louisiana. The pilots were able to land in the Intercoastal Canal and taxi around the corner to a White Lake dock. The birds were then unloaded from the plane and transported to the pen site via boat. Each bird received a "welcome to Louisiana health check" and all passed with flying colors! The birds were then hand carried one by one to the top netted acclimation pen. The sun had already set, so we allowed the birds to settle down for the night and recooperate from their big journey from up north!
Sara and I went to the pen first thing Friday morning to check on the birds and see how everyone faired their first night in Louisiana. They look even better in the daylight! All birds looked and acted healthy, were actively foraging and didn't take too long to be tempted by the holiday treat bag Sara had prepard for them-grapes and cranberries! We will continue to moniter the birds daily for the next couple of weeks, watching for any changes in behavior or illness.
As with the first cohort of birds, they will remain in the top netted pen until all are banded and acclimated to their new Louisiana surroundings.
The second cohort consists of 16 birds - 7 males and 9 females. Interestingly, the two youngest are brother and sister. The hatch dates for this cohort range from May 11th through June 17th. This years' chicks came from eggs provided by Patuxent , the Species Survival Center in New Orleans, and the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge in Wisconsin. All chicks were hatched and raised at Patuxent and as always, they have done an "eggselent" job raising the Louisiana birds! They look great and we are thrilled to have them!
Stay tuned for more updates!

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — New research shows that there are specific times of day when people do various activities best, something scientists refer to as "peak times."
Researchers noticed men and women experienced their peak times at the same time, whether they were exercising, taking a test or negotiating a deal.
They found the best time to exercise was 5 to 7 p.m.
"The data are really clear…5 to 7 p.m., that's when our lung capacity is best, our muscles are best, our hand-eye coordination is best…" said Dr. Steve Kay, dean of USC's Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
The best time to hammer out a deal? It's 9 to 11 a.m.
"It requires a difference part of our brain region. It requires our ability to read how another person is reacting to us, and that is best just after we get up," Kay said. "So, if you are going to be buying a house or going to a car dealership, go in at that time of day and you'll be doing the best you can for that kind of negotiating."
The optimal time to take a test was 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Kay said that's when brain function is at its best. He said to avoid taking tests early in the morning or late at night.
There's even a time of day when using social media will most enhance a user's mood: 7 to 9 a.m.
Kay said it's during that time that you'll find the most joyful posts and tweets.
Researchers also found the times of day that people tend to do their worst.
The worst time to eat was after 8 or 9 p.m. Kay said it's best to eat when one is active.
"If we take in a lot of calories just before we go to bed our body isn't designed to do that so our bodies tend to push those calories immediately into fat," Kay said.
Just like eating, talking about sensitive issues with one's spouse is not recommended after 8 p.m.
"We should really avoid difficult conversations late at night…late in the evening is when people get emotional, it's when most of the fights occur, so let's avoid that evening time for difficult conversations," Kay said.

Example Of Recognition Songs
by Hiroshi on December 2nd, 2011
It happens all the time. We forget the name of our favorite song even when we can hum it. Sometimes we may record a short clip of any song being played, in bar or restaurant but can not figure out its name or title. We may have a short clip of any music recorded in our PC but we may not figure out which song it is. Search engines also fail to help in this matter because you need few words or title of the song to get it via Google or Bing. So here is the problem. How do you identify a song or how do you find out the title of song that you have recorded from somewhere or the song you can hum but can't remember anything about its name, artist or album?

SWANSBORO � East Duplin�s softball team didn�t disappoint coach Greg Jenkins after he called this a must-win game Friday.
SWANSBORO � East Duplin�s softball team didn�t disappoint coach Greg Jenkins after he called this a must-win game Friday.
Jenkins watched as Paxton Blizzard went 2-for-4 with three RBIs to lead the Panthers to an 8-5 victory at Swansboro in an East Central 2-A Conference game.
�This was a must win. Anytime you play in this conference on the road and you can get a win, that�s good,� he said. �Our girls came in focused, knowing we had to beat Swansboro if we wanted a high playoff seed. It�s going to come down to a couple of teams we have to play at the end. So this is a huge win.�
The win for East Duplin (14-6, 6-5) moved the Panthers past the Pirates (8-8, 5-5) for fourth place in the ECC, which gets five automatic bids to the NCHSAA 2-A playoffs.
This marked the second victory over Swansboro this season � EDHS defeated Swansboro 9-8 earlier this month in the Piggly Wiggly Softball Tournament in Richlands � for the Panthers, who hope to use this win to push them moving forward.
�We played pretty well tonight,� Jenkins said. �We have them again, we have Northside, who is playing really well, and South Lenoir coming up. We are confident and I like our chances in those games.
�If we can win out, it would put us in a good playoff position.�
Blizzard agreed that the win Friday was a good one.
�It�s a good win to get our confidence up,� she said.
Meanwhile, it�s back to the drawing board for Swansboro, which committed three errors in the first two innings that helped East Duplin build a 6-0 lead.
The Pirates got to within 7-5 in the fourth inning, but couldn�t get any closer.
�I hope we stay strong and win those games (left),� said Swansboro coach Kelly Frank, whose team visits league-leading Topsail on Tuesday. �I know Topsail is a tough team, but we have scored off them. I have faith in them.�
East Duplin took control early against Swansboro by scoring three runs in each of the first two innings.
Chelsey Cooper opened the game by reaching on an error and later moved to third when Lauren Williams walked and Anna Craft reached on a fielder�s choice.
One out later, Blizzard singled to bring in two runs.
�I was just looking at getting the runners around,� Blizzard said. �I just wanted to be productive.�
Emilee Craft added an RBI-single in the first to give the Panthers a 3-0 lead.
East Duplin then took advantage of two more errors to extend its lead to 6-0 in the second.
Kendall Lego led off the second by reaching on an error and then moved to second on a single by Cooper. After a strikeout, Anna Craft singled in Lego.
Cooper and Craft later scored when Blizzard reached on an error by the right fielder.
�Our objective was to score a run in every inning,� Jenkins said. �If we get the lead-off hitter on, we will try to manufacture something. It worked in our favor tonight.
�That was the key. We wanted to try to play small ball, take some bases and put the ball on the ground.�
After the Pirates fell behind 6-0, Frank called a short team meeting on the pitcher�s mound. She wanted to get her team to relax.
�We just kind of told them to keep it together and to stick to the basics,� Frank said. �They know how to play the game. They just need to cut them (errors) out and concentrate on making the play.�
That talk appeared to have worked as the Pirates.
In the bottom of the second, Swansboro�s Morgan Sheehan scored on a wild pitch and Andrea Heredia had a two-run triple to cut East Duplin�s lead to 6-3.
The Pirates got to within 7-5 in the fourth on a two-run double by Alex Watkins.
�When we were coming back, they were louder than they usually are,� Frank said of her team. �It just feels better when they are like that. They�re not down on themselves.�
East Duplin, though, added an insurance run to make it 8-5 in the fifth on an RBI groundout by Lego.
Another big EDHS run came in the fourth when Blizzard doubled in pinch runner Jennifer Pate to give the Panthers a 7-3 lead. Pate was running for winning pitcher Makayla Byrd, who reached on a two-out walk.

HANOVER, N.H.—Three different Crimson players scored goals and Danny Biega logged a pair of assists as the Harvard men's hockey team tied Dartmouth, 3-3, Friday night at Thompson Arena.
Mike Seward scored at even strength for Harvard (3-3-2, 2-3-2 ECAC Hockey, 0-2-1 Ivy League) in the first period, and Alex Fallstrom and Luke Greiner added power-play tallies to erase a pair of one-goal deficits in the second. Steve Michalek made 24 saves, while Max Everson blocked five shots.
The Big Green (4-4-1, 3-3-1, 1-1-1) took advantage of some fortunate bounces and 34 saves from James Mello to earn a point in the ECAC Hockey and Ivy League standings despite Harvard's 37-26 shots edge.
Seward's first collegiate goal gave Harvard the lead on a rush up the right side in the game's seventh minute. He fired a wrist shot past Mello after Dan Ford and Tommy O'Regan moved the puck up the ice.
Michalek, who made a tough save on Mark Goggin just before Seward's goal, preserved the lead with consecutive stops on Eric Robinson and Doug Jones. The Big Green, however, soon evened the score when Tyler Sikura intercepted a Harvard pass at the offensive blue line, went in alone and scored on a wrist shot of his own. The teams went to the first intermission tied at 1-1 despite Harvard doubling up Dartmouth in shots, 12-6.
Robinson put Dartmouth on top just 36 seconds into the second period, when his shot from the right side deflected off a stick and into a top corner. The Big Green got the game's first power play 50 seconds later, but the best chance of the two minutes came when Biega sprung Greiner for a shorthanded opportunity.
Harvard then sandwiched a pair of power-play goals around a Jones goal for Dartmouth. Fallstrom had the first. After Alex Killorn's one-timer off a Biega pass was stopped, the senior passed across to Fallstrom who buried his third goal of the season.
Jones took advantage when a referee collided with a Harvard player, causing a breakaway, but Greiner evened the score at 3-3. The junior tipped home a point shot from Biega after Colin Blackwell broke up a Dartmouth clear at the Big Green blue line. Harvard totaled 15 second-period shots.
Neither team scored in the third period despite a series of strong shifts from the Crimson in the Dartmouth zone in the final minutes. Michalek's most crucial save came on the first shift of overtime, when he stopped a point-blank backhand shot from Jones on the opening shift of the extra session.

Best Practices: Viewing virtualization from every angle
Virtualization can be a tricky technology for storage managers who need to apply traditional standards while navigating new obstacles. But it's prudent to embrace it now so the storage team can enjoy the same benefits that the systems and applications teams have realized.
- Ashish Nadkarni, IDC
| Virtualization can be a tricky technology for storage managers who need to apply traditional methods while navigating new obstacles.
Before we start, let's review the different kinds of virtualized systems. Virtualization can exist at the physical layer or logical layer. Physical layer virtualization lets you have system resources dynamically assigned to operating systems. Logical layer virtualization lets you have a host operating system (also known as a hypervisor) that runs on a single physical box. Logical layer virtualization comes in two flavors: a type-1 or bare-metal architecture hypervisor, and a type-2 or hosted architecture hypervisor. With physical layer virtualization, the hypervisor runs as the primary operating system on the physical box; in the latter case, it actually runs as an application or shell on another already running operating system. Operating systems running on the hypervisor are then called guest or virtual operating systems. Regardless of the type of virtualization in play, the challenges from the storage side are similar.
| Virtualization isn't just VMware
When we talk about virtualization, the first name that comes to mind is VMware. While VMware is the leader in this space with its ESX Server, it isn't alone. AIX shops will more than likely be familiar with IBM's logical partitions (commonly known as LPARs) that can run AIX and Linux. There's also Microsoft's Virtual Server and PC, and Sun with its Solaris Zones. And the Open Source movement isn't far behind with Xen.
When people talk about server virtualization, ask for specifics. What's the rationale behind their selection? More importantly, is it supported on your SAN/storage environment with minimal/no changes or are costly modifications/ additions necessary to make it work?
A new take on sharing IO
Then there's the issue of how the LUNs are presented and mapped from the hypervisor to the guest. For example, IBM has introduced VIO, in which the hypervisor (or VIO server) can present LUNs directly via a virtual SCSI adapter to the LPAR. The VIO server knows nothing about how the LPAR uses these LUNs. Another way of doing it is to create logical volumes from the VIO server or hypervisor, and then present those to the LPAR instead of raw disks. This not only gives you visibility and control over how IO is distributed but, by way of the logical volume manager (LVM), it minimizes performance bottlenecks. So you have two ways to do it. The first way is simpler but results in more administrative overhead because disk numbers can change in AIX for any number of reasons. The latter way, using LVM, allows all of the presentation to be controlled by an underlying layer that controls disk IDs.
To me, how LUNs are presented and IO is shared between the virtual servers is a critical design issue. This is where the most attention should be paid to create a healthy and scalable virtual environment.
| Boot from SAN (with reminders)
The concept of boot from SAN used to be fairly simple. Rather than using local disks for the boot image, make a Fibre Channel or iSCSI LUN the boot disk. If you run a tight and disciplined operation, there's value in booting your systems from SAN. Indeed, a key benefit SANs bring to systems virtualization is the ability to create this huge high-performance repository for storing all of the virtual server boot images. Fair enough. But I have two comments.
The first is that when you aggregate multiple boot images onto a single large LUN, the performance of that LUN comes under scrutiny by the virtual servers running on it. Care should be taken to maintain a healthy boot image number to LUN ratio. Instead of creating a single large LUN, you may be better off creating smaller LUNs and spreading the virtual server images onto them, thus maintaining a lower and well-balanced ratio.
The second reminder is that you still need to decide if the hypervisor itself boots from SAN or not. The answer to this depends on whether you follow boot from SAN as a standard practice for the other nonvirtualized hosts in your environment. If you're moving to a fully virtualized environment, it may make sense to go the route of booting the hypervisor from SAN as well.
Treat your virtual servers as "independent apps"
This means keeping your data and boot images separate. It's a bad idea to have everything for all virtual servers on a single resource, whether it's a LUN or a file system.
It also isn't a wise idea to create and share large metaLUNs (each vendor chooses to call them different things) among all of the virtual servers. I see a lot of VMware environments where LUNs in the range of 600GB and higher are presented to a single hypervisor. This doesn't make sense to me. Virtual servers or hypervisors should be treated in a traditional sense from a storage provisioning perspective and all of the standard storage practices should apply to them.
| Be careful of that host mode
Host connectivity is sometimes misinterpreted or ignored when it comes to virtualized servers. Many vendors are trying to address this. For example, some of the newer arrays now contain a "VMware" mode to be set only if you're running VMware ESX Server. If the arrays in your environment don't have such a mode, please check with your vendor to learn the recommended settings. Care should be taken to ensure that specific settings such as SCSI reservations to implement clustered hypervisors are set in advance to prevent any hiccups during failover. Keep in mind that standard multipathing software may not work on hypervisors or virtual systems in the same manner it works on standard operating platforms. Some virtualization vendors bundle their own path management software, which eliminates the need for a third-party add-on.
Virtualization and iPod revolutions
One technology I'd like to highlight is N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV). It's fairly new and was created by IBM with virtualization on its System z9. NPIV allows a single FC port to register more than one World Wide Port Name (WWPN) with a fabric name server. Each registered WWPN is thus assigned a unique N_Port ID. With NPIV, a single physical HBA port can appear as multiple WWPNs in the FC fabric. It also lets you create and map a WWPN for each virtual server. Therefore, from a LUN masking perspective, each virtual server can have a set of unique LUNs on the same storage port. Most major virtualization vendors support it.
Remember, virtualization is your friend and it's here to stay. It's prudent to embrace it now, and in the right way, so the benefits aren't felt by just the systems and applications teams but also by the storage crew.

|Wisconsin Lutheran athletics file photo
Dennis Miller, the first head coach of the Wisconsin Lutheran football program who held the position for 13 seasons, will be returning to lead the team following one season away from the sidelines. Miller stepped down after a program-record 7-3 season in 2012, and will fill the post that recently was opened after first-year head coach Ben Murphy changed roles within the program due to family obligations.
In order to focus solely on the football program, Miller will relinquish his role in the college's administration as vice president of student affairs, a position he has held since 2005.
"I am thrilled with the blessing of returning to the Warriors football field," said Miller. "With a renewed single focus on Warriors football, my enthusiasm and passion for this ministry has never been higher. I believe Warriors football has a bright future and I look forward to being a part of it again."
The Warriors went 7-3 in Miller's last season in 2012, including 5-2 for third place in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference. The seven wins were the most in program history, while the five conference victories tied a school record. WLC's two conference defeats were by a combined 15 points. Wisconsin Lutheran boasted the top pass defense in NCAA Division III and finished in the top seven in three other statistical categories: total defense (fourth), pass efficiency defense (fifth), and scoring defense (seventh).
Twenty-eight of Miller's 48 victories at WLC have come since 2008, including four straight .500-plus seasons. During Miller's last five seasons as head coach, the Warriors finished 21-14 in conference games, including consecutive third-place finishes in the eight-team league. WLC won a program-record six straight games which spanned from 2011 into the 2012 season.
Through 11 seasons of conference competition, Miller mentored 99 players who received all-conference recognition, including 30 first team selections and the Warriors' first conference player of the year in defensive lineman Kaylan Gaines in 2010.
Before arriving at Wisconsin Lutheran, Miller spent 12 seasons as head coach at NCAA Division II Northern State in Aberdeen, S.D. During his time at Northern State, Miller's football teams won 47 NSIC games - more than any other school. His program was nationally ranked six times and qualified for the national playoffs in 1988. During his 25 years of coaching, Miller amassed a 125-136 record.

Documentation traditionally has had a quiet but central role in the work of archaeologists, architects, art historians, and conservators. A pioneer in modern documentation is the Epigraphic Survey of the University of Chicago's Oriental Institute, which for over 70 years has been recording reliefs and inscriptions on ancient Egyptian monuments, many of which are eroding away. Because of its importance, the Epigraphic Survey in 1989 received funding from the Getty Grant Programa sister program of the GCIfor the conservation and cataloguing of the photographic archive at Chicago House, the Survey's field headquarters in Luxor, Egypt. More recently, the Grant Program gave an additional donation for assistance with the publication of a new series of volumes entitled The Reliefs and Inscriptions of Luxor Temple, containing the results of the Survey's work at Luxor.
Since 1989 Peter Dorman has served as the Field Director of the Epigraphic Survey, spending part of each year working out of Chicago House in Luxor, supervising the Survey's staff of photographers, artists, and Egyptologists. He is also Associate Professor of Egyptology in the University's Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. Prior to his present post, he worked for 11 years as a curator in the Department of Egyptian Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Some months ago Dr. Dorman spoke with Margaret Mac Lean, Director of the GCI's Documentation Program, about the mission and work of the Epigraphic Survey.
Margaret Mac Lean: The Oriental Institute has held an important place in the history of archaeology and scholarship. How did it come about?
Peter Dorman: The Oriental Institute was the fulfillment of a lifelong dream of James Henry Breasted, the first Egyptologist to be hired by any American University. In the 1890s, he came to the University of Chicago as a professor in the Department of Semitic Languages and Literatures. Despite his focus on Egypt, Dr. Breasted was very interested in the entire ancient Middle East. He wanted to establish a research institute within the university that would examine the ancient cultures and languages of the Middle East, which he considered the cradle of civilization.
The Oriental Institute was founded under the patronage of John D. Rockefeller Jr. in 1919. Excavations were undertaken at a number of places that figured importantly in ancient and biblical history, such as Megiddo and several sites along the Euphrates River. Institute projects brought scholars of diverse expertise together at a single location so that they would have daily contact, forming a community able to reconstruct the early development of civilization. Part of this work, of course, involved the careful recording of ancient documents.
What about the Epigraphic Survey? What were its origins?
In 1894, after he had received his degree in Berlin, Dr. Breasted traveled up the Nile with his fiancée, and as she sketched in the shadows he worked in the sun, making hand copies of historical inscriptions. His interest developed into a project to translate all the major historical inscriptions from the ancient monuments in the area. The initial sources for his studies were publications of the Napoleonic expeditions of the 18th century and works by 19th-century travelers to Egypt.
During his forays into the field, Dr. Breasted was alarmed to discover that some of the inscriptions he was hoping to recopy and perhaps to correct were missing. In the course of only 50 or 60 years, many of these monuments were damaged or destroyed, no longer existing as sources for Egyptian history and religion. In 1905 and 1906 Dr. Breasted traveled to Nubia [in present-day northern Sudan and southern Egypt] to make sure that the lesser-known monuments far up the Nile Valley were recorded in some form. The methods developed in that survey eventually led to the techniques we still use at Chicago House.
The idea for the Epigraphic Survey itself was hatched in the fall of 1922, when Dr. Breasted was laid up at the Winter Palace Hotel in Luxor with malaria—just as Howard Carter was discovering the tomb of Tutankhamun. At the very time when Egyptian archaeology was celebrating one of its great triumphs, Dr. Breasted was formulating an idea to found a permanent expedition that was essentially anti-archaeological—one that would have nothing to do with laying bare stratified sites or recovering objects. While most expeditions went to explore and excavate, this one would exist solely for the purpose of epigraphy—that is, recording and studying inscriptions already visible. Essentially, this is what the Survey has been doing for the last 72 years, since its founding in 1924.
Could you describe the methods that Dr. Breasted developed and that are still used in the Epigraphic Survey?
We combine the talents of photographers, artists, and epigraphers skilled in all aspects of the Egyptian language. Once we select a monument for study, the photographer captures a complete set of rectified images of every aspect of the monument. We use 8 x 10 field cameras for much of this, but we also do smaller-format photography for difficult areas.
The artist pins an enlarged print to a drawing board, goes to the wall itself, and in front of the monument pencils in all the visible traces of relief directly onto the photograph. When the penciling is finished, the artist returns to the studio and inks in the pencil traces directly on the emulsion of the photographic print. The inked photograph then goes back to the photo studio, where the photographic image is bleached away, leaving intact only the inked lines.
From that drawing we make a series of blueprints. One of these blueprints is cut up into maybe 12 or 15 bits that isolate small portions of the drawing. The epigrapher, who is also an Egyptologist, then takes these to the wall and, line by line, compares the artist's rendering to what can be seen at the wall.
The views of both the artist and the scholar are necessary. The artist is primarily a technician who often has little formal knowledge of Egyptian hieroglyphs or iconography and none of the expectations or assumptions of the Egyptologist. The role of the Egyptologist is to verify that everything the artist put on the drawing is actually there. Particularly in damaged areas, the Egyptologist questions everything, looking for bits that the artist may have omitted or misinterpreted as damage. All the corrections and alterations to the drawing are noted in pencil in the margins of the collation sheet.
Next the annotated sheets are given to a second epigrapher, also an Egyptologist who goes to the wall to verify or disagree with the comments of the first epigrapher, and to add further correctionsrarely does the first epigrapher see everything. The first epigrapher then must agree to all the comments added by the second. When all of these comments are agreed to, the artist comes back to review the corrections and also must agree with each one made. If there is a serious disagreement, the issue often goes to the field director for resolution.
Technologically speaking, this method developed by Dr. Breasted is outmoded, but in terms of the judgments that we bring to this kind of documentation, it's absolutely up to date.
This is a labor-intensive process, but it clearly yields valuable information. Could you talk about the choices that you have made regarding technology and the decision to carry on with this method?
Many people who come to Chicago House are surprised to learn that we do not use computers to hasten the very laborious manual process of our work. In the future we will certainly be using scanners, both for photography and final drawings. This will assist us not only in the publication phase but in the enlargements the photographer makes. Once an image is scanned and we can manipulate the size of the original drawing, as we can easily enlarge or reduce the digital image.
As for the methodology, there are problems. The artist's drawing is a subjective transposition from a three-dimensional stone surface to a two-dimensional paper surface. It contains an enormous amount of distillation and subjective judgment. Decisions are made every time pen goes to paper to edit out certain things and accept others. It is difficult to see how computers would facilitate this complex interpretive process, which relies extensively on human perception.
This brings us to the issue of the "objectivity" of photographs. One very often finds an excess of faith in the camera's ability to capture reality free from interpretation. This seems to have been recognized when your method was being worked out, or you wouldn't have built in these layers of iteration and consensus.
That's right. We recognize the ability of the camera to capture a very precise basis for the artist's drawing, and it provides wonderful information. But for the definitive version, we opted for this more elaborate process. Producing our final facsimile documentation is, in effect, editing a wall and a photograph together, getting across to the reader the essentials, and little else. A photograph may seem to pick up everything, but it will tend to conceal parts of everything, too, just because it contains shadows.
At the same time that you are preserving the information in the carved inscriptions, you are also creating an extraordinary record of their physical condition.
One thing we hope for is that we are recording the monuments, the reliefs, and the inscriptions in such a way that questions asked in the next century can be answered with all these drawings. We are also very much aware of the possibility of using photography as a monitoring device. The archives now hold about 18,000 images, and they can and should be used for that purpose.

hi all!
i've been browsing these forums for quite some time, really excellent works here. i wanna use this thread to post more or less finished models more or less often, i hope you like them. first one is inspired by a photo made by Mehmet Akin (no exact copy), for the second i used various photo references, and the pirate was made after i saw the pirate heads made by the great Andy Bergholtz (not a copy either, just thought its a cool character) cheers!

The Lowdown On Making Your Mopar Work On The Street
If there's one thing that could be considered a cut above owning a Mopar musclecar, it's running that Mopar on the open road. Sure, there's the so-called "trailer queen" part of the hobby, but for most of us, the thrill in having something we can use. Hey, after all, it's your Mopar, and you can very well do what you want with it: shine it, show it, trailer it, race it, or drive it. That said, if you like your Mopars real-world ready and driveable, here's some food for thought.
Engine Endurance
1.Valvespring Variables
More often than not, when building a hot engine for that Mopar, a hotter cam and aftermarket valvesprings will be part of the package. While the easiest thing to do is squeeze the springs under the retainers, street (or race) survival depends on checking the basics. For example, what will be the lift at the valve with the cam and rocker ratio combined? Check for clearance between the top of the guide and the retainer at full lift. MP recommends a minimum clearance of .050 inch, but more is better, and don't forget to include the thickness of the guide seal.
Also, coil-bind clearance is essential, with a minimum of .050-.100, depending on whose specs you trust. Most springs are specified for coil-bind height; just subtract the valve lift from the installed height to decipher how much clearance is left. On the subject of installed height, a spring's load capability is directly proportional to its height, so knowing the load at the installed height is critical. Finally, for street use, don't get carried away with mega-big drag racing spring loads. Be realistic about your requirements-based on rpm and cam design-and select a spring that will perform the job without prematurely wearing out the valvetrain and pounding the seats. If in doubt about what's needed, consult an expert.
2. Oiling Options
A good street oiling system can range from radical and racy, such as the Milodon system pictured here, to OEM stock. The key is to match your requirements to the rpm range and use of the engine. The stock system works fine in a stock or mildly modified Mopar engine, big-block or small-block. A high-volume pump, coupled with minor mods such as a larger 1/2-inch NPT Hemi pickup in a big-block, along with some subtle passage massaging as outlined in the MP books, are all it takes to handle engine speeds through the mid-to-high sixes. Consider a windage tray mandatory in either engine family, and think seriously about adding a sump baffle in any open-sump pan to keep the pickup in the oil. Most importantly, stay clear of low-hanging, drag-style deep-sumps if any real street use is part of your plan; one pothole or speed bump will ruin your entire day.
3. Hassleless Headers
Headers add power, but low-clearance pavement draggers add headache, especially in the wilds of real street use. Rather than banging 'em in, get good ones that don't hang down. TTI makes a wide range of real full-length headers, such as the A-Body units above, which tuck much nicer than most. Other options include designs such as tri-Ys, shorties, or running the stock iron manifolds, though power won't match the benefits of full-length tubes.
4. Quality Counts
Adding reliability means shelling out for the good stuff where it counts. Here, we're preparing to install super-duty Arias forged racing pistons hung on bulletproof Eagle rods into a street engine. If that engine means anything to you over the long haul, stay away from the cheapo replacement goods and step up to real performance parts. Hypereutectics and forged slugs are hardier pistons than bargain-basement cast hand grenades and well worth the dough. Upgrading the fasteners, first in the rods, then the mains, and finally securing the heads, is the name of the game for long-term piece of mind. As power and rpm levels step up, so does your parts list, including aftermarket rods, forged cranks, blow-proof dampers, and so on; the list is endless. Those cheap, stock, old, or nasty parts may survive just fine, but be prepared for things to go wrong if you choose to roll the dice.
5. Secure Sealing
For stock or mild engines, that $29 gasket special may do the job, but blowing a head gasket or sucking or spitting oil out on the open road will immediately spoil a good highway cruise. Premium gaskets from sources such as Fel-Pro are worth the added price, as the hemorrhaged gaskets shown here woefully attest. When cylinder pressure gets more serious from compression, nitrous, or blowers, think about moving up from OE replacement-grade head gaskets to wire-reinforced premium head gaskets from Mopar Performance or Fel-Pro. O-rings are probably a good idea if you're heading for the twilight zone in horsepower generation.
Drivetrain Durability
6. Ratio Realism
No doubt for the digs, you either go low with the rear gears or go slow at the green light. On the open highway, though, those 4.56s will leave you eating parts, literally winding up to ruin. The cruiser concept is to build low-end torque up front and gear-up in back; on the open road, trashing those 3.23s for 4.10-plus killer cogs is the wrong move.
7. Freshen It
Mopar drivetrains and trannys were the toughest in the industry, but for street survival 30 or more years later, it pays to start fresh. When rebuilding an old Mopar, it's tempting to just clean up major components, bolt them in, and hit the road. However, even if major components, such as the transmission or rear, are functional, they may be about ready to fold, depending on the mileage or the abuse. To keep them in the game often, all that's required are new bearings, races, seals, and gaskets, with the other hard parts simply cleaned, inspected, and usually reused. Here, we have a four-speed kit from Brewer's ready to go in. Some new bearings now can save lunching a hard-to-find or expensive gear cluster later. Same with syncros; step up with fresh brass and save those dog teeth on the main-drive gears. We swapped a junkyard overdrive 833 in our Dart, only to find the first-gear syncro was boned out. Lesson: It pays to go through it first rather than do the job twice or find yourself stranded.
8. Overdrive Options
For highway starring, stepping up the gear (lower numerically) is a good idea, but for some, giving up that righteous off-the-line dig is unacceptable. While all of the old Mopar musclecars were 1:1 at the tranny, swapping to an overdrive can open the best of both worlds. Automatic cars can use the Mopar 518 overdrive or keep the 727 by adding a Gear Vendors overdrive. Stick machines can choose from low-buck factory 833 OD trannys for an easy bolt-in swap or move to an aftermarket trans, such as the high-end Richmond six-speed pictured above.
We like the flexibility of the OD option, but don't forget, the driveshaft speed is still dictated by the ring-and-pinion. The wide-ratio factory four-speed overdrive has an extra-low 3.09:1 first cog, with a sprawling leap between each speed, and it needs mods to live under serious torque. Though automatic overdrives or aftermarket gearboxes take fabrication to install, the OD may be the best modification a road-going Mopar can get, depending upon your intended use.
9. Driveline Dynamics
Look at an automotive driveshaft next to an injected Hemi or a cross-rammed big-block, then walk around back and check out those massive meats, and you've gotta wonder how that stick lives in between them. For the street driver, the driveshaft needs to be tough enough to take whatever level of abuse is tossed at it and smooth enough to be imperceptible on the road. Getting it right starts with having a level of beef that's up for the application. Most Mopars came with either 7260- or 7290-series U-joints, with the latter being the larger style used in factory H/D or HP cars. The smaller 7260 was generally used with six-cylinder or smaller and low-performance V8 applications. For performance applications, the 7290 is the one to use, since it handles more torque and lasts longer. Yokes are available for most rear-end and tranny applications to run the larger U-joint, if the vehicle wasn't originally so equipped. There was an even heavier duty U-joint used in some Hemi/Dana applications and with the Imperial "constant velocity" shafts, the 1330. Whatever joint type is used, the key here is to use only premium replacement joints, rather than be suckered in by the low price of weak imported units (your lack of towing bills in this area will more than make up the difference).
Beyond having U-joints up to the job, three other factors have to be correct: balance, phasing, and angle. Production balance was adequate for lower speed passenger-car duty. However, if performance modifications are done or higher driveline speeds are anticipated, it pays to have the driveshaft professionally dynamically balanced. Phasing is not an issue except in the actual construction of the shaft and relates to the alignment of the yoke eyes, and thus, the U-joints at each end. Getting smooth operation for road use relies on having the driveshaft (balance and phase) and the driven angles (the tranny and rear-end pinion centerlines, respectively) at specification. The factory service manuals for Mopar passenger cars have the specs. Adjustment is also outlined in the service manual, and remember that altering the angle for dragstrip use will come with a price in terms of open-road smoothness. Trick aftermarket aluminum and even carbon-fiber driveshafts can be bought, and they are often smoother at high speed than the stock steel shafts but are usually pricey.
10. BTU Blowout
Heat is the enemy of mechanical or hydraulic components, and it pays to dissipate heat, especially when specific modifications increase component heat loads. For example, a high-stall torque converter that generates more heat through increased slippage. Oil cooler systems are available to combat added heat, with the finest factory example being the late '70s B-Body Monaco and Fury Police Interceptors, which came rigged with rugged and efficient coolers for the trannys, the power steering, and the engine oil. Aftermarket sources can cover these applications as well and offer systems to cool high-winding rear axles. Do you need them? That depends on how the car is driven and what kind of modifications have been performed. Here's a B&M tranny cooler on a high-stall-equipped B-Body. For desert banzai runs, don't consider running without them.
Rutual Brakes
11. Think Big
Mega-power under the hood needs to be balanced with mega braking behind the wheels. Brakes are one of the areas where bigger is always better, and there is a wide range of help available for older Mopars. Those '60s and '70s Mopars, especially the lower performance versions, often came with brakes that aren't up to par today, and a great percentage of the old Mopars built for the street these days began life as bread-and-butter, low-performance cars. That old Slant Six Duster may be a hot street machine with the infusion of a 380hp crate small-block-but with the stock brakes, it's a death trap. A variety of approaches can be taken to up the ante on stopping power, running the gambit from retro-fitting, bigger OE brake parts, to pulling out the stops and forking over for a race-derived, four-piston-caliper, four-wheel-disc system. The choice is yours, and in this iinstance, your decisions should first be made on what you need, then on what you can afford.
12. Yes, Master
All the brake at the wheel is worthless if the master cylinder hanging on the firewall won't squeeze the juice. Experience tells us that the dirt-cheap reman masters from the corner parts emporium are a crapshoot. A better bet for OE-style rebuilt masters are specialists in the hobby market, such as Master Power, shown here. Mopar Performance has conversion kits available to bolt up new, later-style Mopar aluminum masters in place of the cast-iron originals. Any mid-'60s-or-earlier single-reservoir Mopar should be retrofitted to a safer, dual-master system for real street use. Ever pop a wheel cylinder on a single-master system? We have, and the instant no-pedal at speed on a busy street was instant crisis. Luckily, we avoided disaster, but we learned a close lesson we won't soon forget.
13. Power Pad
Drum brakes not only rust, but also fade away; nothing like trying to slow down your worked B-Body and finding that the drums have gotten too warm to work efficiently. Luckily, Mopar aftermarket growth in the '90s provided disc brake conversions. Once installed, the stopper will stop when called upon, not when they decide to. Use quality pads; some such as these from EBC also created to prevent rotor wear and grind. There are even pads available that are constructed from carbon fiber for even greater heat dissipation and longer life. Regardless, unless you are doing a full-tilt restoration, front disc brakes can be the best upgrade to your vintage Mopar. For serious street-strip cars, four-wheel outfits may be an even better bet.
14. Line Me Up
Hitting the streets with 30-year-old, rusty steel brake lines and cracked, bulged brake hoses is way too whacked-out for us; Why, why, why? when the aftermarket has new line kits available for most older Mopars, which means you don't even have to fab your own anymore? Lines are available in stainless, which look good and should outlast anything else on the car. We picked up this set from Penstar Reproductions at a local show. Don't sacrifice your Detroit iron by deciding the worn-out stuff is "good enough," because it isn't.
Electronic Enlightenment
15. …3-2-1-Ignition!
Here is one we all know and love but needs repeating: the good old Mopar electronic ignition. Does it work? Millions of production vehicles have answered that beyond debate. Is it the hot ticket on my street Mopar? Consider the fact that any part of the system can be bought at the counter of virtually any auto parts store across the country. Mighty reassuring when you're a long way from home. Is it good enough for my stout street car? We've turned 7,000-plus rpm on the street and the dyno, and it works as well as anything else running the low-buck street Mopar Performance system. Racers across the country run the system with MP's race control boxes, proving it every day. For real street, it's the best thing going. If you still have a points ignition, you just must like tinkering on a regular basis.
16. The Terminator
Though a lot of guys don't like working on it, once in a while we have to mess around with the wiring on our Mopars. For real street use, reliability is the key, so here's the real deal. Get rid of the cheap crimp connectors and use OE-style, noninsulated terminals. Use a pro-type crimper tool, which folds over the crimp tabs and indents the solid backing of the terminal for an OE-quality crimp. Once crimped, drop a bead of solder in the connection and you've got a terminal that won't fail. Use OE-style insulating cases and connectors or, minimally, some heat-shrink tubing. The worst approach is using cheap insulated aftermarket terminals crimped with nasty low-buck crimpers that just squeeze the terminal. These connections start out poor and will usually fail in time.
17. Connector Conductivity
A sound electrical connection is with minimal resistance. This means a good mechanical fit and no corrosion. Unfortunately, given all the years since they were new, corrosion on terminals is all too common on old Mopars. What to do? A dip in a mild acid solution, such as PPG's Metal Prep will quickly dissolve the corrosion, restoring the conductivity of the connection. Rinse the cleaned terminal with water, dry, and hit it with some WD-40 to protect the bare metal. A dab of dielectric grease will protect the connection practically forever.
No Fuelin' Around
18. Cool Fuel
We all know fuel octane is down from the good old days, but it seems today's fuel is more sensitive to heat than the stuff that was around when 'Cudas were new. Fuel-injected cars, with their high-pressure fuel systems, are largely immune to the problems of fuel percolation, vapor lock, and gasoline boiling in the carb's bowls during hot soak. This unfortunate problem is ugliest with aluminum carbs, the material used to make our Mopar's old Carter AFB and AVS mixers.
What to do? First, use a thick, heat-insulating gasket between the carb and the intake, which was OE on most Mopars. If an aluminum manifold is used, particularly in hot climates, block or restrict the exhaust crossover. Finally, make sure you use a fuel return line, which circulates excess fuel capacity back to the tank, allowing cooler fuel from the tank to continuously circulate back up to the carb. Many factory high-performance cars had return lines stock. This system can be retrofitted into standard cars, or a system can be fabricated using a fuel filter with a return fitting and running a steel line back to the tank.
19. Pressure Point
Without fuel getting to the carb, you're dead in the water. Factory HP cars used a 3/8-inch fuel line versus 5/16-inch lines in lesser models. The fatter fuel system is being re-popped by aftermarket line makers, so why not upgrade? Even with the good lines, the pump has to deliver the fire-juice, and again, the factory used special pumps in hi-po applications. Get the good pumps if running mechanicals; both Holley and Carter make new pumps similar to the factory performance units. Verify the fuel pressure with a mechanical gauge, such as this online unit on David Frieburger's Duster. For long treks, consider an electric pump near the tank. Not only will it help prevent vapor lock, but it can save your butt if the mechanical piece fails.
Cool it, Dude
20. Hard-core
Nothing's worse than puking green Prestone on hot tarmac, sweating with the heater on in 100 degree heat, and trying to coax the needle on your Stewart Warner temp gauge back down to safe, all the while trapped in the sprawl of urban traffic. It happens all too often. Got a big Mopar mill? You need a serious cooling system to chill that bad boy. Start with the radiator. If heating's a problem, get the largest radiator that fits your Mopar body style. Still not enough? Go four row. Yeah, we've heard the same bogus spiel, "The air gets hotter as it goes though, so the extra rows don't help that much, blah, blah, blah." Get a good, four-row, high-efficiency core, and watch the temperature drop. You can usually use the OE tanks, brackets, and shroud; any good radiator shop should be able to hook you up.
Always run a shroud (available repopped from the usual resto sources) and finish the system with a serious viscous fan. Run the biggest fan that will fit (most OE units interchange), and mate it with a good, new, thermostatic clutch, rather than the cheaper viscous drive. Other key players for problem coolers are a balanced-flow thermostat (sometimes they really help), available from Milodon. Want more? Milodon, Edelbrock, and others carry high-flow water pumps, and aftermarket aluminum radiators are available in high capacities, but check the rating before buying. This Dart has been fitted with a 26-inch radiator, which runs framerail to framerail; a factory shroud; and a huge seven-blade thermostatic clutch fan assembly.

Drinking Coffee Elsewhere
by ZZ Packer
Choosing from among the 50 short stories she had written, ZZ Packer selected the best for her collection, Drinking Coffee Elsewhere. Most of the main characters in these insightful, well-crafted and often humorous stories are young African American women, aside from the male protagonist
accompanying his father to the Million Man March in "The Ant of the Self." What these characters have in common is an outsider status in their communities, giving them a keen perspective as they struggle for self-development and in some cases self-preservation. The ostracized narrator of "Brownies," the first of the stories, notes that "when you've been made to feel bad for so long, you jump at the chance to do it to others." What is remarkable about these stories is how often the characters choose to take a different path, finding some hope or even redemption in the good of the world.
For On the Same Page, the Library has purchased the 2004 paperback edition published by Riverhead Books. It is also available at the Library as a talking book in CD and audiocassette formats.
About the Author
ZZ Packer was born in Chicago in 1973 and then moved to Atlanta, Ga. and Louisville, Ky. with her family. Since middle school, she has been called ZZ, a nickname for her original name, Zuwena, which means "good" in Swahili. Upon graduation from Yale, she earned a Master of Arts degree at Johns Hopkins University, where she met Stephen Dixon, John Barth, Francine Prose and Julian Barnes. Prose's critical approach was influential in Packer's development as a writer. After graduation from Johns Hopkins, Packer taught for two years in a public high school. She earned a Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Iowa's prestigious Writers Workshop, then won a Stegner Fellowship and a Truman Capote Fellowship at Stanford University and became a Jones Lecturer there, teaching undergraduates.
Moving to the Bay Area at the peak of the dot-com boom, she wrote content for a web site. The winner of a Whiting Writers' Award, a Rona Jaffe Foundation Writers' Award and a Bellingham Review Award, Packer's short stories have been published in Harper's, Story, and several anthologies, including The Best American Short Stories, 2000. Also in 2000, the debut fiction collection of the New Yorker featured Packer's short story, Drinking Coffee Elsewhere. It set off a six-figure bidding war and in 2003, became the title piece of Packer's first published collection, Drinking Coffee Elsewhere, nominated for the 2004 Pen/Faulkner Award for Fiction. After the great success of this collection, Packer's first novel, which she has been working on for five years, is being eagerly awaited. It is about the black military units, known as Buffalo soldiers, who were stationed in the West after the Civil War.

Jim Watson is one of the world's most famous scientists. A principal architect and visionary of modern biology, a Nobel Prize winner at 34, and best selling author at 40 (The Double Helix), he has been a fearless commentator on the march of DNA science and its impact on society for over twenty years. This sparkling collection was a bestseller in hardcover, and, for the paperback edition, the author has added three newly written essays containing his reflections on the survival value of pursuing happiness, advice for new college graduates, and his thoughts on the completion of a draft of the human genome, a project he initiated over ten years ago.

"A Passion for DNA is a thoroughly engaging book, full of fascinating reminiscences and far-reaching projections."
Nature Genetics
"In A Passion for DNA: Genes, Genomes, and Society. James Watson once again proves that he is the prose laureate of biomedical sciences."
The New England Journal of Medicine
at the age of 70 the enfant terrible has lost none of his evangelical enthusiasm for science and is still captivated by the richness and promise of what flowed from the discovery he made with Crick all those years ago. A Passion for DNA is a reminder, if any were needed, that we should be equally indebted to Watson for his efforts in what must often have seemed the much more difficult task of overcoming the innumerable controversies and doubts that could have seriously interfered with molecular biology's long-term potential for the benefit of humanity. We owe him a great deal."
"A Passion for DNA is one of the finest books on science that I have ever read. I would highly recommend it to every physician as a scientific primer, history lesson, review of microbiology, study of mentoring, and most fascinating memoir, absorbable in multiple brief essays, fulfilling Dr. Watson's desire to write like a novelist."
"This book is vintage Watsonwell-crafted prose, frequently opinionated, passionate, always strong-voiced, and showing occasional impatience with those who are not as smart as he (almost everyone) or who take a position that he finds quite simply to be wrong
. As passionate an advocate of genomics as he is, [Watson] knows that none of us can foretell the futurewhere this new science will take us, how it will help us, and how it may one day be abused. In agonizing as he does about genetics and its future, he reminds us implicitly that we scientists, having created a technology, are obliged to explain it to the outside world and to immerse ourselves in the societal debates about how it will be used and how we can prevent its misuse."
ROBERT A. WEINBERG, Nature Cell Biology
"In this work, told with refreshing honesty, is the human story of how Watson and Francis Crick won a Nobel Prize for what may be the most important advance in the life sciences since Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species, and the key to understanding the charge of 'eugenics' that has greeted Watson in Germany. . .
Watson asked that his German colleagues not over react, yet 'come to terms' with the legacy of the past, develop ethical safeguards, and move on to applying technologies that can save lives and change the quality of life itself. He is clearly impatient with the pace of the debate and rejects popular positions on ethical issues of genetic research and application current not only in Germany, but in his own country as well. A Nazi would end the debate. He promotes the debate.
"Watson's autobiographical notes, scientific expositions, and public statements provide a fascinating glimpse into the mind of this postwar scientific giant. Watson is at his best when reflecting on the social mores of science in the late twentiethcentury, and the selections on the recombinant DNA controversy, scientific competition, and the writing of The Double Helix are small gems. This is an enjoyable book that will help us to understand the range of Watson's enormous role in postwar American biology."
