There is a common misconception while pregnant, that eating for two means you need to consume more food. While pregnant you only need 250 -300 more calories then you do before you were pregnant. Chances are if you are eating a typical American diet you are getting way over the daily calories needed even without a baby growing inside. Instead of worrying about eating enough food, focus more on its value. Everything you put in your mouth goes right into your babys development, forming the structure from which they will grow. The healthier you eat the better you will feel and the stronger your body will be to support your pregnancy. You can shift your awareness simply asking yourself these two questions: How is this food feeding me? How is this fueling my babys development?
Night Sweats During Pregnancy
Most new mothers know that they will not get much sleep due to the needs of a newborn, but sleep problems can start even before the baby is born. Pregnant woman may have a hard time getting comfortable at night, or may need to get up to use the bathroom several times in one evening. Many expectant mothers also suffer from night sweats during the duration of their pregnancies.
How Long Does It Take to Show Signs of Pregnancy?
Just as no two women are alike, not every mother-to-be exhibits the same signs or experiences the same symptoms of pregnancy. Even during subsequent pregnancies, the changes a woman undergoes can be altogether different. While some women will feel differently as early as one week following conception, there are others who might go months before feeling its effects. Incredibly, some women are unaffected by pregnancy altogether.
Warning Signs During Late Pregnancy
As your body nears the end of your pregnancy, your mind will turn to the practical matters that need to be completed before your baby makes her arrival into your family. Preparing the nursery, the nesting instinct of cleaning your home and making lists of things to do and people to contact when your labor begins all help take your mind off the changes in your body and perhaps the discomfort that comes with carrying a near-term baby. While you make your necessary plans, it's important to keep in mind a few warning signs that may occur during late pregnancy.
First Signs of Pregnancy After IVF Embryo Transfer
Once you have undergone an in vitro fertilization (IVF) embryo transfer procedure, your excitement begins to mount. You may find yourself noticing every change in your body, every cramp, every possible symptom of pregnancy, while wondering whether one of the embryos successfully implanted itself into your uterus. Stress, anxiety and a variety of common illnesses can mimic pregnancy symptoms. Knowing what early pregnancy signs to watch for following an IVF embryo transfer will help you relax.
Trouble Eating During Pregnancy
To support the growth of your baby, you need to eat healthy, but sometimes your body throws you a curve ball, making it difficult. You may find yourself craving milkshakes and cheeseburgers instead of your usual nutritious fare. Other times, you may not want to eat at all. Though you may experience trouble eating during pregnancy, it's important to find ways for you to keep yourself healthy.
10 Things to Know Before Bringing Home a New Baby
I remember those last few weeks of first-time pregnancy like yesterday -- mostly, I was just freaked out. What the heck am I going to DO with a new baby?! I was the first of my friends to start a family and the internet hadn't quite yet exploded with never-ending pregnancy and parenting insight and…
How Much Is Too Much Bleeding During Pregnancy?
Bleeding during pregnancy is fairly common but it can indicate a more serious complication. Knowing how much bleeding is too much during pregnancy can help you understand when you need to contact your doctor so you can get the medical help you need right away.
Severe Lower Abdominal Pain During Pregnancy
Having a baby is one of the most natural things in the world. You've probably heard people say this, or entertained this thought yourself. However, acknowledging the truth of this statement does little to help you relax when you are pregnant. Pregnancy can be a time of great joy, expectation and bliss. It can also create anxiety and stress in your life, especially when symptoms arise that may signal a problem with your pregnancy. The March of Dimes warns that severe abdominal cramping during pregnancy requires a call to your health care provider.
Abdominal Discomfort During First Trimester of Pregnancy
Though it's a fairly common symptom of pregnancy, having pain in your abdomen after finding out you are pregnant can be upsetting and worrisome. There are several causes for normal abdominal discomfort during the first trimester, and a few key warning signs that can tell you when it's time to talk to your doctor.

Jerry Schemmel knows about loss and finding perspective in the darkest times. The KOA announcer survived the crash of United Flight 232 on July 19, 1989. The plane's engine exploded an hour into the flight from Denver to Chicago, causing a crash landing in Sioux City, Iowa, killing 112 passengers. Schemmel rides 112 miles on the anniversary to honor the victims.
He hopes that by sharing his story at a healing workshop Thursday night at the DoubleTree Hotel at 13696 East Iliff Place in Aurora he can help some of the victims and families of the theater shootings. It begins at 7:30 p.m. The workshop will focus on "Living after Tragedy" and is open to the public.
KOA producer Mike Rotolo, a survivor of the 1999 Columbine High School tragedy, will also talk about his experience. A question-and-answer session will follow.
The Rockies are planning to visit hospitalized victims Thursday afternoon, their first day back since a gunman shot up an Aurora theater, claiming 12 lives and injuring 58 people.

Well, I'm a few days late getting this one out but it's been a busy week! Thank you to those who commented & sent me a message. I appreciate you letting me know that your reading!
How's the Week Been?
It's been a good but busy week. Monday Mom had a Dr.'s appointment. Her blood levels were low (from the cancer) and when we told her oncologist that she had vacation plans for the end of the week he scheduled her to come in on Tuesday for a blood transfusion so there would be no worry while she was gone.
That day I'd gotten a new pair of shoes in that I'd ordered from QVC. They were orthopedic type shoes. Well, it was a mistake because they have huge arches. The arch in my left foot is broken down. So the next day I wasn't able to walk because there was a swollen tendon right in the middle of the bottom of my left foot. So those shoes are going back for sure. So my dear husband did all of the taxi-ing on Tuesday while I kept my foot up.
What the Family has been up to
On Tuesday Ashley had field day at school. I had planned on going and helping out for awhile that day but since my foot was hurt I didn't get too. Then on Thursday Abbey had a King and Queens ball at her school for the letter "Q" day. I wasn't able to attend that since I was helping Mom get ready for her trip. I hate that I missed so much with their schools and Camp Fire this year. But it was all for good reasons.
Mom left yesterday afternoon with her Sister and Niece for a fun trip to Cozumel!! Mom's never been and she was so excited! She sat in this living room and waited very impatiently for them to pick her up.. it was cute how anxious she was! I know they will have lots of fun and laughs. They will be home on Monday. I'm so happy Mom was able to have this trip with them. A few months ago we didn't think she'd feel well enough.
We've had a few beautiful days this week and a few cloud ones. I did enjoy one day out side for a couple of hours of spinning. Then last night I enjoyed a good hour outside sky-ping with my BFF Stephanie :-)
Ashley has been asking a few weeks if she could get some pink chunks in her hair so we went for it this week!
Camp Fire
I'm getting down to the last few meetings. So this week I got the list together of the emblems my kids earned. We were busy this last year and earned quiet a few!!
This past Monday we learned about Clouds and Made our own!!!
I've had a little knitting time this week which I am always happy to have! I'd been working on getting caught up on all the video knitting podcast that I watch and I like to knit along while watching them. I actually finally got caught up on them this week! Now I can get back to my Gilmore Girls marathon! LOL!!!
I've been working on my Secret knitting mostly but here is a not to revealing picture. It is really an enjoyable knit.
This is a ruffle scarf. They are all the craze now and I didn't think I'd fall in line but someone special to me has mentioned she thinks they are beautiful and so I'm knitting one just for her. It's easy just a little fiddly.
I love Ann Hanson patterns. Someday I'll have knit every sock pattern design she has This week I cast on the LongJohn pattern.
Below is a mitered scarf pattern I'm working on using some handspun yarn that I won at a Knitting retreat I attended last year. I started out using the yarn for a shawl but the pattern wasn't showing off the yarn. I feel this pattern is doing a much better job of that.
I did just a little spinning this week. This is some Merino & Silk. I love this color. I think I'm going to spin all 4oz. onto one bobbin and see if I can find another 4oz. color to spin and ply with this... maybe white... or the blue... hmm....
The bobbin on the left is chain plied (3 plies) the one on the right is a single I need to ply. This yarn is going to be some finger-less mitts for me someday!
Not much cooking inside this week. Mom bought me a new grill so we've been grilling everything you could imagine. I've made good use of some of the lowry's marinades in the BBQ section of the store. We used the Hawaiian and The Garlic and Pepper one. Both were delicious!
Around the house
I cleaned my aunts house this week and she had the most awesome gadget next to her sink.. so I went searching on amazon for it when I got home!! It came in just this morning. Yaay for no sink clutter!!!
Well that's it for this week! Happy Mother's Day to all of you ladies out there! Show your Mom how much you love her this Mother's Day and Tell her too!
Until Next Week...
Be Happy!

How to Use
the Readings
Inquiry Question
Document 1: "To All Persons of Japanese Ancestry".
Text-only version of Document 1.
Questions for Reading 2
1. How would you feel if you saw a notice like this posted in your neighborhood and referring to you or your friends?
2. What services will the Civil Control Station provide? How expensive would it be for the government to provide these things for the 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry living on the West Coast? Do you think cost would have been an issue at the time? Why or why not? Could the government have spent the money in a different way to solve the same problem?
3. What could people take with them? Why do you think restrictions were placed on the quantity of goods they could bring?
4. How much time were people given to prepare for relocation--sell their houses, businesses, and farms, pack their belongings, and so forth? How long would it take your family to do this?
5. The instructions say that the government will provide for storage of household items left behind "at the sole risk of the owner." What does that mean? If you were being relocated, would you leave your things to be stored? Why or why not?
6. Do you think the government wanted to help Japanese aliens and Japanese-Americans prepare for the relocation? Do you think they should have done so? Discuss.

When Oroville Hospital decided to digitize its patient medical records three years ago, like all hospitals, it shopped around for a vendor. Electronic health records giant Cerner was on the list, so were McKesson and Meditech. But Oroville Hospital's chief executive Robert Wentz got cold feet. For the 153-bed Northern California hospital, it meant shelling out a fortune, and falling behind on cash flow because of billing interruption during implementation. More worrisome, as a small customer it would have next to no clout with big vendors, in case it needed to adapt the software to fit its own needs. Wentz wanted more flexibility.
So he did something almost unheard of for a health care executive: he went open source. As the saying goes in this conservative industry, no one gets fired for picking Epic. Wentz's decision is not for the squeamish or the straight-laced. It forced long-time hospital administrators with tight schedules and deadlines to loosen up and collaborate with a network of free agents—open source programmers who voluntarily support a publicly available electronic health record called VistA (Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture).
For Wentz, it was worth it. At a time when hospitals are spending millions to digitize, open source EHR software is an alternative option to costly and proprietary systems. Open source is already widely used in manufacturing, finance, and retail. Oroville Hospital is completing implementation of its EHR, a process that took three years and cost an estimated $10 million (including hardware)—probably half the price of a commercial EHR.
Like many hospital executives, Wentz had never heard of VistA until 2008. VistA is one of the oldest and most reliable electronic health records, in use at 163 VA hospitals, as well as hospitals around the world. It has a colorful history. It was developed at VA hospitals in the 1970s by a determined band of programmers who went rogue when VA bureaucrats shut their project down. It also shares the same programming language as Epic Systems, the high-flying and expensive EHR vendor, except that it's free. "I got on my computer, saw the hyperlink to download, and I just sat there and stared at it," recalls Wentz.
Companies such as Medsphere help hospitals implement a version of VistA, tailoring it to their customers' needs, and providing support, but Wentz wanted total control. He opted to work directly with a sometimes rotating crew of VistA experts with day jobs. "We were willing to try different things," says Wentz.
He found out about WorldVistA and Vista Expertise Network, two non-profit organizations that group hundreds of programmers willing to devote some of their time to enhance VistA, and also tailor it to non-VA hospitals and clinics. While the programmers were dedicated, Wentz quickly encountered non-corporate behavior, such as the time one programmer on a conference call suddenly said he had to hang up to go to Costco. "There was an unreliability issue that needed to be acknowledged," says Wentz, but it wasn't a deterrence. He was more than impressed by their passion for an accessible health information technology system.
Rick Marshall who oversees Vista Expertise Network trained some of the hospital staff to code via Skype. George Lilly, WorldVistA's chief information officer and an EHR consultant developed several software packages, including electronic prescription that communicates with retail pharmacies, since VA hospitals have their own internal pharmacies. Lilly also helped get the software certified for meaningful use; Oroville Hospital received $5 million in meaningful use incentives. The government which requires hospitals to certify their EHRs or face penalties, doesn't certify VistA. "If the government certified VistA, hospitals might feel more comfortable," says Wentz. He was so grateful for the efforts of volunteer VistA programmers, that earlier this year he handed a check of $150,000 to WorldVistA.
"I can't believe that hospitals cede their operations to a vendor," he says.

Twenty years on from the baggy 'Madchester' scene, 24-hour party people and the endless shenanigans of being one of the all-night drug-prowling wolves in a city that never slept, my hometown of Manchester is finally waking up again.
For sure there have been some great moments in the interim. You can't get past the Doves, Elbow and I Am Kloot et cetera, but now there suddenly seems to be a buzz across the whole city.
The city centre is four times bigger than it was in the baggy days, and ten times busier. Where there were once a motley crew of drug fiends you get hen parties, poncey bars are invading once feral back streets and the warehouses that were once full of dead pigeons and all-night raves are now expensive flats, but somehow there is still music - loads of it.
Every time I go out I'm bombarded with great CDs of new bands and get to see classic gigs. The city is full of bands, the rehearsal rooms are overflowing and there are already bands breaking out.
The Courteeners are already through and revelling in their own controversy. Frontman Liam Frey doesn't back down from a good old-fashioned Manc word scrap and spits his was through interviews like Noel Gallagher or Mark E. Smith, spleen is his middle name and he doesn't mind winding people up with his invective. Good job he can back it up with tunes and next week's sold out show at the 1,400 capacity Ritz is proof proper that Frey and his band have the backing of the people. The debut album will be out next year and already Frey is winding people up by claiming it will be as good as Oasis or the Roses debuts- bizarrely some people are up in arms at these claims- are these the same people who doubted the Roses and Oasis when they said the same things just before their debuts were released?
Just behind The Courteeners at the moment there is whole host of bands lining up. Twisted Wheel have a tight sinewy sound that takes up from where the Libertines and Artic Monkeys left off and skews it with a Manc attitude and a curiously Johnny Cash-style stripped-down engine room of rock n roll. They write brilliant songs and have a taut passion that has just landed them one of those record deals that seems to get bigger by the day. Don't let the money put you off: this is a brilliant young band who fully deserve their break, and their gig at October's_ In The City _was one of the highlights of the annual conference. They packed the room with a youth crew, proving that they are not some no-mark northern quarter band with trendy mates but The Real Deal. Twisted Wheel are gonna be massive – there can be no doubt about that.
Danny McNamara from Embrace has been putting on some great new band bills at his Aftershow night at Sankeys Soap. Every Thursday night he finds five more great new bands to celebrate this sudden burst of electricity round the region's rehearsal rooms. It's all very altruistic from the Embrace man, putting his money where his mouth is and supporting the up and coming.
It was down there that I saw the Paris Riots, whose rock 'n' roll is as sloppy as the prime time Stones- you know- the right kind of sloppy, the slightly off kilter funk that makes great rock n roll great, they also have a charismatic frontman and fistful of top tunes, anthems in the waiting and you got to admit that Paris Riots is a killer name for a band.
The old guard haven't been found wanting, though. Last week* I Am Kloot *filmed a great show for local TV station Channel M, where the band were caught recording several songs at a studio in Stockport. They were loose and the stark confessional nature of their songs was captured perfectly. The show is still up on Channel M's website (link) and is well worth checking out. Kloot are at the top of their powers and played two sold out nights at the university- they should be a national treasure by now.
The *Sex Pistols *finally made it back to Manchester after 30 years. The four gigs they played in the city in 1976 have gone down in local lore as key events in the formation of the city's music scene, with their Free Trade Hall gigs often mooted as the catalytic point at which the city's punk scene kicked off, and their two dates on the Anarchy tour were two of the only shows that were allowed to go ahead on that momentous tour. They changed a lot of lives and seemed to change more in Manchester, the second city of punk, than anywhere.
Thirty years is a very long time in rock 'n' roll, and of course the Sex Pistols arrive at the sold-out 20,000 capacity MEN Arena meaning very little of what they meant in those heady mid-'70s days. The reviews were mediocre but they were missing the point: The Sex Pistols were stunning. In 2007 they are merely a brilliant rock 'n' roll band with enough caustic bile and sheer power to justify their existence. They stormed the Arena with a celebration of the one thing that they never get any credit for: their sheer power as a rock band. Cook and Jones are power chord machines and Rotten was injecting the songs with the venom and soul power necessary to make them work. Don't believe the anti-hype, the band were killer! And the Arena gig also featured the biggest mosh pit I've ever seen.
A few days later another band that are having problems with press, Babyshambles, played the same place and this time it was only a third full. But this didn't stop the band from delivering a great gig. There is some debate as to whether Pete Doherty is any good without the props of drugs, but this whole drug debate is deathly dull. I don't give a fuck about what drugs he takes. That's his problem, why are the tabloids so obsessed with his chemical intake? If you wanna see junkies I can round up 20 smack heads in five minutes – it's a miserable, shitty drug.
Let's get to what we are really interested in here – the music. The Babyshambles show is brilliant, the songs are great and the band is very tight; the whole performance is well worked out from the Steptoe theme as its intro to the World War III backdrops and matchbox stage props – it looks like the seedy set from some mid-'50s sitcom, a homage to Doherty's favourite comedian Tony Hancock, and adds to the intimacy of the spectacle. It's a great night and underlines the special talent of Doherty, the edgy songs that just won't collapse and the street poetry of the lyrics. Doherty delivers with a brilliant wonky charm in a city that has been a big influence on his muse.
After the gig we wander back through the freezing streets of the northern quarter and note how many kids are wandering around carrying guitars, the next generation dreaming and the next generation of Manchester rock 'n' roll already carving out its own new legend.

MONTPELIER — Gov. James Douglas' legacy will be that of a very mobile, skilled politician who was able to maintain allegiance of the state's conservative voting block while deftly appealing to mainstream voters as well as fiscally conservative Democrats.
Past and present Addison County politicos shared those and other observations in wake of Douglas' stunning announcement on Thursday that he will not seek a fifth term as the state's top executive. His decision, as Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie noted, has altered Vermont's political landscape for 2010 and beyond, and comes at time the state's budget is in turmoil and the state's energy future is in doubt.
Douglas, a Middlebury Republican, acknowledged the state's current and ongoing challenges, but said he is confident he will be able to pass the baton to a capable successor 16 months from now. He added that after a total of 36 years of elective office in Vermont — the past seven as governor — he is poised to move on to a new, as-yet undefined, challenge.
Read more coverage of the governor's announcement
"There is always unfinished business; there is always more to do," Douglas said during an interview with the Addison Independent following his announcement. "I certainly understood that in my other positions over the past several decades. But no office should be defined by one individual person. I think for the reasons I have mentioned, this is the right tour of duty for me."
Douglas began his public service career in the Vermont House in 1972, the same year he graduated from Middlebury College. He would represent Addison County's shire town for the next seven years, during which he would serve stints as his party's assistant majority leader and majority leader.
Douglas retired from the House in 1979 to become a top aide to the late Gov. Richard Snelling, then successfully ran for Vermont Secretary of State in 1980. He was re-elected five times. He set his sights on federal office in 1992, challenging longtime incumbent U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. Leahy topped Douglas by a 10-point margin in that election, sending Douglas into a two-year hiatus in the private sector, when he worked for a short while as an administrator at Middlebury's Porter Medical Center.
But Douglas quickly returned to the election trail, decisively winning the post of Vermont Treasurer in 1994. He ran for governor in 2002, edging former Lt. Gov. Douglas Racine, a Richford Democrat who is already a confirmed candidate for the post in 2010.
As was the case when he was secretary of state and treasurer, Douglas had a relatively easy time of it in his re-election bids for governor. He figured to be a strong candidate for re-election next year, but decided he needs to shed the omnipresent time commitments of public office.
During an 11-minute speech announcing his decision, he cited the recent birth of his first grandchild and a desire to spend more time with his wife, Dorothy, as among his reasons for taking a pass on a re-election bid.
"With some very good fortune, I met and married Dorothy, soon we were raising two extraordinary boys, and now one of my sons has a son of his own — our first grandchild: Timothy James Douglas," Douglas said. "A new generation has a way of putting things into perspective."
The governor said he had felt privileged to visit all corners of the state, seeing new businesses open, participating in humanitarian efforts and consoling families of fallen soldiers, but decided that it was time to begin a new chapter in his life.
That new chapter, Douglas quipped, will not include a run for president (a step that had been taken by his predecessor Gov. Howard Dean). Such a move, Douglas joked, would probably result in his spouse contacting a divorce lawyer. But Douglas, in a much more serious tone, said emphatically that he will not run for the U.S. Senate nor U.S. House in 2010. He did not close the door on running for political office sometime in the future, however.
"I just feel this is the right time (to announce a departure from public office)," Douglas said. "I just hope that some good opportunities come along."
Lapsing into a sedentary existence will not be an option, Douglas stressed.
"I can't imagine going from a hectic pace of 24/7 and the intensity of what I have been doing for the past seven years, to retirement," Douglas said. "I hope I will have an opportunity to make a contribution in some way, I just don't know what it is at this point."
During an extensive interview at the Addison Independent
The governor on Thursday again acknowledged his status as a Republican counter-balance to the Democrat-controlled Legislature, but said he is confident that his party can produce another candidate to serve the same function.
"I hope that whoever succeeds me provides that same balance and backstop to whatever excesses might be proposed by the general assembly," Douglas said. "A lot of people were surprised by this announcement, but the more they think about it, I think they understand that 36 years is a pretty long and reasonable commitment of time. It'll be up to a new governor to provide that balance."

I'm no soothsayer, but I can peer into the future far enough to make a few predictions for the coming year.
I'm no soothsayer, but I can peer into the future far enough to make a few predictions for the coming year.
They say those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. And I can assure you that many of the people who set the tone for government around these parts don't learn from anything, least of all history.
I am confident that at least some of the following will become reality. To be fair, these are mainly just foreseeing the continuation of ongoing events, but I'm sticking with calling them predictions.
A new jail — The Lafourche Parish Council, the parish president and the sheriff have kicked this thing around until it's not even much fun to make this prediction, but here goes: Nothing significant will happen in this regard in the new year.
Neither Parish President Charlotte Randolph nor Sheriff Craig Webre has taken ownership of this pressing problem, so it is more likely to linger than to be solved.
There is no question of the need for a new jail. The present facility is outdated and undersized. It is also suffering from a number of structural problems.
Unfortunately, aside from naming committees, there has been no work done on getting a new jail in place before a judge eventually rules the present one unusable.
Political leadership is necessary, but political courage is rare, particularly when it comes to recommending a plan that involves millions or tens of millions of dollars.
I am confident that this problem will still be around this time next year.
Political shenanigans — You don't have to look far in Lafourche Parish to find some clown on the Parish Council willing to put his own petty political vendettas before the good of the parish.
So I'm not really going out on a limb when I forecast the continued idiocy that has been the rule so far.
Leading the way, as usual, will be Parish Councilman Daniel Lorraine who has long made sport of keeping Lafourche a laughingstock. He may have an heir to his arrogance in fellow Councilman Jerry Jones, who has a newfound grudge against Randolph and a willingness to ruin lives in the furtherance of his folly.
The voters of Lafourche showed this year that they will go along with just about anything when they approved the firing of former Parish Administrator Crystal Chiasson because she doesn't live in the parish. No matter that her address hasn't changed since she was hired for her job and approved by the council — including Jones.
I predict more of the same.
Educational mediocrity — In a region where school officials are more likely to whine about the grading system than to try for better grades, it should surprise no one that our area will remain mired in mediocrity or worse.
When we console one another with the fact that we're in the middle of the pack in the worst state in the nation for education, we should expect the terrible results we get from our struggling schools.
And when we pretend that everything's OK because we inched upward on a scale where the rest of the nation is looking down at us, we should all foresee the terrible futures we are building for our children.
This isn't a prediction as much as a proven fact, but our children as a group are unprepared for jobs or higher education, and they are unlikely to improve their lot in our substandard schools.
This is not an indictment of the system; it is an indictment of the voters who continue to elect people who oversee and perpetuate mediocrity when excellence should be demanded.
So my prediction is that when excellence is eventually demanded of the children, they will possess only the mediocrity with which we have endowed them.
OK, so the future isn't that bright. The good news is that I am so often wrong. May our political officials prove me so once again.
These are mine, but I encourage you to submit your predictions for 2013. You can email them to me at the address below, and I will include the best ones in a future column. No, that wasn't a prediction, just a promise.
Happy New Year!

In Memory Of
It has been five years since the nightmare of September 11th. The anniversary is getting a wide range of coverage in all media. Some of the most heart-wrenching footage I've seen has been on the News Hour: candid interviews with rescue and construction workers from Ground Zero, many of whom now have debilitating ailments caused by the toxic conditions at the site. The scars of this horrendous act will be with us forever.
There have been many discussions concerning the response to 9/11 from artists. So far there certainly has been no Guernica, no Third of May, 1808, in response. Many attempts have been put forth in pop songs and country music, and thousands of hours of media coverage and a few movies, which I have no desire to watch.
In time, the right words or music, a work of art that captures the essence will come. Surely, all who lived through that day will always remember the love and compassion that just flowed from around the world in response. That's the world I want to live in.

And by "special" this week translates as "late".
What isn't late, but, in fact, early is the freshly returned from Gen Con roleplaying game set in the universe of The Hobbit, The One Ring. From Cubicle Seven, this new hardcover slipcase contains the first set of core rulebooks in what will become an expansive Tolkien-based roleplaying system. Taking place five years after the events of The Hobbit, the Adventurer's Book and Loremaster's Book (both contained within) grant players and GMs the ability to create and explore the world of Wilderland. The system received a hefty amount of buzz at Gen Con this year for being a rare Tolkien universe RPG that actually works. And possibly the best part, if you enjoy the game there are plans to release future expansions that will push the timeline forward, eventually leading to the events of Lord of the Rings. Oh, and one last thing, if you pre-order with Pulp or purchase one of the copies we currently have in the store (hurry or they'll be gone!), you gain the option to pick up a promo world map for ten bucks!
When Cthulhu comes calling you can expect it to be a gloomy occasion. That might be why Atlas Games decided to add a new version of the popular Gloom series to the shelves called Cthulhu Gloom. As with the regular game, players attempt to maim, massacre, and murder their helpless human cards with whatever tools they have at their disposal. Here those tools become the madness and insanity of the creepy crawlies that oozed from Lovecraft's brain. Opponents can also stall opponents murder spree by keeping their human cards alive with "happiness" and "joy". If your sense of humor errs toward the darker and demented, Cthulhu Gloom with have you cackling all night.
Top o' the mornin' to ya, laddies. Set in the ancient countryside of merry ole Ireland, in Hibernia players battle to occupy specifically colored regions of the country. Around the perimeter of the board is a colored track that leads to victory if you follow the order carefully. Put those two elements together and you realize the strategy of the game is occupying colored regions in a coordinated manner so that you can make it around the track before anyone else.
Coming from the same game designers is Cambria. Still focusing on the concept of occupation, Cambria has players swatting the Roman legions out of Britannia by surrounding and destroying their forts. Each fort is given a number between 1 and 6, which coordinates with a D6 that players will roll. Depending on the numbers, they will then place colored wooden markers on roads leading up to a fort with the same markings. Once a fort has been surrounded, points are distributed to the player who did the most, uh, surrounding.
The deck building trend of the last couple of years receives an infusion of freshness with Wizkids hit game from Gen Con, Quarriors!. That freshness comes in the form of dice and, boy howdy, are there are ton of them. 130 of them, to be exact, are contained within the stylish tin box the base game comes in. Much like Dominion or Ascension, a set of cards is laid out in the center of the table. What differs here is that players will not purchase the cards, but dice that are sitting next to them. All a player's dice are kept in one of the four silk dice bags that come with the game and used (depending on which one of the six sides/abilities was rolled) to either purchase more dice, reroll dice, or attack opponent's creatures. A beautifully designed, highly replayable game, Quarriors! is the love child of Dominion, Magic the Gathering, and Zombie Dice. Also, for those who love free stuff, Pulp has a limited number of promo card sets that you get when you purchase a copy of the game.

Riesling Report: Eugen Müller Forster Mariengarten Riesling Kabinett, 2010
We're celebrating the Summer of Riesling by trying a different bottle every weekday. Got a favorite riesling? Recommend it in the comments!
There's a density to this wine, like a handful of spicy ginger chew candy with a spiky acidity tucked in, and loads of melted-pear flavor. It has the crispness of sparkling cider, and hints of cinnamon. Fruit and salt are in the forefront; this doesn't just remind you of salinity—it actually tastes salty. Think red Anjou pears wrapped in prosciutto.
One detects not just complexity in this riesling, but activity—flavors bouncing off each other, a mouthful of mineral water, an intense musky floral note like blossoms beginning to fade, their oils practically dripping into your mouth.
This wine is rich enough for seared duck breasts, but our first thought was fried chicken and waffles. A little salt, a little fat, a little sweetness.
Around $20, sample provided for review.

The context menu, affectionately known as the right-click menu (largely because it's a more obvious term), is a strange and complex beast. When utilised correctly it's a powerful shortcut tool, putting all kinds of tweaks and options into your hands, all accessible from a single click of the right mouse button.
There are limitations and drawbacks with the right-click menu, however. Many third-party programs add options to the menu that can ultimately serve little purpose other than to clutter up the menu or cause your computer to strangely crash each time you right-click an item. If you're looking for a tool to manage these items, removing those you don't need, then sadly Right Click Enhancer is not the tool you're looking for; instead try ShellMenuView.
If, however, you're looking to bolt on your own options to the right-click menu, thereby speeding up the way you use your computer, then Right Click Enhancer could be just the thing you're looking for.
Right Click Enhancer is actually a collection of five separate tools, one of which has nothing to do with the right-click menu at all. Don't worry, though, because My Computer Manager allows you to place shortcuts on My Computer, so clicking the desktop or Start menu icon lets you quickly and easily access favourite folders and files without having to wade into the depths of your PC's hard drive.
The other four tools are dedicated to tweaking the right-click menu. Tweaker allows you to add 10 pre-defined shortcuts to the context menu, while Send To Manager does exactly what it says on the tin, namely allow you to add and remove items from the Send To menu.
The last two options – Right Click Shortcuts Creator and Right Click Cascading Menu Creator – aren't universal to all versions of Windows (basically, both work in Windows 7, while Right Click Shortcuts Creator is also Vista compatible). They primarily allow you to place your own customised files (typically application shortcuts) and folder shortcuts on the context menu.
This is the portable version of Right Click Enhancer.
If you're looking for a tool with which to take control of your right mouse button, then this fits the bill nicely.

That dreaded day has finally arrived. Your teen has come home with a learner's permit, and now you have a whole new set of worries. How do you keep your teen safe once they get behind the steering wheel? One of the first things you should do is understand exactly what risks are involved in letting your teen drive. Then you need to set some guidelines and rules that will help your teen learn responsible driving habits.
Common Characteristics of Teen Vehicle Crashes
Most vehicle crashes involving teens have been related to one or more of the following risk factors:
- Driver error
- Speeding
- Having 3 or more passengers
- Drinking alcohol beforehand
- Driving at night
- Distractions such as food, music, cell phones, GPS devices
Fatal crashes involving teens are related to one or more of the factors above, as well as not wearing seatbelts.
What You Can Do to Help Keep Your Teen Safe
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recommends the following tips for keeping your teen safe:
Don't Count only on Driver Education and Training
Driver education and training is certainly important, but it doesn't mean that your teen is going to be a safe driver. Teen crashes often relate to the teen's attitudes and decision-making skills. Teens tend to be more influenced by peer pressure and rebellion than advice from adults. Seeing themselves as immune to harm, they may speed or fail to use safety belts, regardless of training. Continue to discuss these issues with your teen driver.
Plan Practice Sessions
Actively help your teen learn to drive by planning driving sessions for at least 6 months. Start slowly, helping your teen to master driving in a variety of settings. Point out safety rules, signs, and potential hazards on the road. Emphasize the importance of paying attention at all times. You should help your teen work up to driving in heavy traffic, on the freeway, and at night. Supervised sessions should continue even after your teen gets their license.
Don't Let Your Teen Drive Late at Night
Fatal crashes involving teens tend to occur between 9 pm and midnight. There are several reasons for this:
- Driving at night requires more skill than driving during the day.
- Late night outings tend to be recreational, leading to increased distraction and risk-taking.
You may want to restrict your teen to daytime driving until their skills improve.
You might also consider setting restrictions based on weather conditions, such as heavy rain, snow, or ice. Make sure your teen knows that safety comes first, even if their curfew is compromised because they pulled over to wait out bad weather.
Restrict the Number of Passengers in Your Teen's Car
It's not possible to know what your teen is doing when they are off somewhere in the car. Learn the rules in your state regarding passengers and teen drivers. You may even choose to further restrict your teen at certain times or in certain situations. Teens are more easily distracted and susceptible to peer pressure when there are more than 2 passengers in the car (something that greatly increases the risk of having a crash). Many states have graduated licensing rules that prohibit teens from driving with persons other than family members and restrict night driving. Enforce your own rules on these matters even if your state hasn't made them law.
Talk to your teen about the serious consequences of speeding, like deadly crashes, costly tickets, and even revoked drivers' licences. You may choose to make your teen responsible for the cost of any speeding tickets they receive, as well as increases in your insurance rates. Remember that you are a role model for your teen, so make sure you obey all speed limits when you are driving.
Choose a Safe Vehicle for Your Teen
Think about what vehicle would provide the most protection for your teen. Cars that are sporty or have performance images are likely to encourage speeding. Small cars may not offer as much protection as larger cars. Choose a vehicle that has the latest safety technology, such as side airbags and electronic stability control.
Insist That Your Teen Wear a Seatbelt
Consistent seatbelt use among teens is low. Therefore, encourage your teen to develop a habit of wearing a seatbelt. Every time your teen leaves the house in a vehicle, insist they wear a seatbelt.
Talk to Your Teen About Drinking, Drug Use, and Driving
Make it clear to your teen that it is illegal and very dangerous to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Stress that even small amounts of alcohol or drugs can impair driving, even if they are competent to drive. Keep communications lines open. Tell your teen to call you for a ride when they or their driver (a friend or another adult) has been drinking or taking drugs.
Set a Good Example
If you personally speed, tailgate, or have other reckless driving habits, your teen is likely to imitate these habits. Road rage—even if it stays inside your own car—sets a bad precedent for the future driving habits of your teen. Set a good example of how you want your teen to drive.
By taking an active role in teaching the right behavior while driving, you can decrease your teen's chance of being a risky driver. You can find many parent-teen driving contracts online, like on the Automobile Association of America's website. A contract can be a good way to talk about what your teen's responsibilities are as a new driver.

It Is Hard To Listen To This 6-Year-Old Girl Call 911 And Not Cry For Her
Please like us to get more great stories like this
Little Girl Calls 911 As Her Mother Is Being Beaten By Her Stepfather
February 11, 2018
The little girl on the other end of this 911 call is Lisa Floyd. During this call, she is in tears as she begs the dispatcher to send the police because her stepfather is beating her mother. Everything she says is horrifying to listen to and you can really feel the pain in her words. Fortunately for her, this wasn't the end of Lisa's story. Though, like many stories, things got worse before they got better.
Years after this tape was first recorded, Kit Gruelle, who is an advocate for domestic abuse survivors, wondered what had happened to the little girl named Lisa. Kit was working for the police department and was able to use those resources to track her down. She found Lisa, but, unfortunately, Kit found her in her own abusive relationship. With Kit's help, Lisa was able to work her way out of it.
It was around this time that Lisa found out about the tape. According to Field Education, Lisa vaguely remembers signing over rights to this 911 call audio recording to her, but she had no idea this tape would be "used to educate people about the effects of domestic violence on children." Even with years between her and the incident, Lisa is still not able to listen to the call and relive the events of that night. She does wonder why this particular recording has gotten so famous. She said she called the police hundreds of times when she was a young girl, and Child Protective Service (CPS) workers came out to her house at least twenty-three times. She and her siblings were never taken away. When she was younger, she didn't want to be taken away from her mother and was glad CPS never took her away, but, now that she can look back, she wishes they had.
On the Children of Domestic Violence blog, Lisa shares her story and starts it all off with, "I'm Lisa, a survivor with a future, because of my past." She talks about the difficulty of growing up and how life continually tried to drag her down, "I started to believe I wasn't worthy. I felt like a failure, destined for nothingness. I didn't believe I could change my life or my situation." With these feelings, she moved into a relationship just to feel something, but it didn't take long before the relationship turned abusive. She put up with it for years, but was eventually able to break away. She attributes a lot of that to "people who have entered my life during this transition. The ones who took the time to encourage and nurture my growth."
Near the end of her story she says, "My journey isn't over – I still have many lessons to learn and obstacles to overcome. I'm just not afraid to take them on." I think it is important for people to remember. You aren't stuck where you are. You are simply facing an obstacle you need to overcome. With the help of people who care about you and your own belief that you have worth, you can survive.
Listen to the video below, but remember that it involves implications of domestic abuse and child abuse. Listen to it and remember that the little girl is alive and is on the right path to finding safety and happiness in her life.

1. The Long Walk by Richard Bachman
Of all the books Stephen King wrote under his "Richard Bachman" pseudonym, it's most surprising that The Long Walk hasn't already been adapted, since compared to what it took to bring The Running Man and Thinner to life, The Long Walk could practically be a student film. Although its premise is wholly science fiction (concerning a cruel, government-sponsored walking contest where anyone who drops below four miles per hour is executed), The Long Walk is actually more a psychological drama—albeit with just a touch of Battle Royale—than a flashy actioner. Any adaptation would require little except a talented ensemble cast (and a halftrack), since the story is all in the anecdote-heavy dialogue, terse interactions similar to the uneasy camaraderie of a war film. Producers would probably want to amp up the gore and throw in lots of flashbacks to alleviate all that talking—and there's probably no way its ambiguous ending would stand, either—but the right director could turn Walk into a gripping foxhole drama with just a hint of high-concept horror. The fact that King's favorite adaptor, Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Mist), recently snapped up the rights is a good sign—if nothing else, it means Mick Garris won't get his hacky hands on it.
2. Jonathan Strange & Mr .Norrell by Susanna Clarke
It's a shame that Tim Burton is already set to release a 19th-century British period piece—he would have been the perfect director to bring Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell to the big screen. As it is, Dangerous Liaisons' Christopher Hampton has been tapped to adapt the book sometime next year. And while Hampton is no slouch, just imagine Burton appropriating Sweeney Todd's cast wholesale: With a bit of hair dye, Johnny Depp might have made a perfect Jonathan Strange, and Alan Rickman certainly would've excelled at portraying the gentleman with the thistle-down hair. As for Mr. Norrell, what's Ian Holm up to? Susanna Clarke's source material, of course, will be the real star: Her 2004 novel and its alternately eerie and arch history of English magic is not only perfect grist for the projectors, it's just the thing to wean budding fantasy buffs off the Harry Potter franchise as it winds down.
3. The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
Filming began in September on an adaptation of this irresistible, vertiginous love story about a librarian (Eric Bana) who travels uncontrollably through time, and the artist (Rachel McAdams) he marries. In fact, the movie rights were sold before the novel was published and became a book-club sensation. How will the film version handle the fractured continuum of the book, seen from the perspective of the girl visited in childhood by a man who knows her future? Has the premise's thunder been stolen by the similarly themed TV series Journeyman? Will the book's middle-aged female fans leave the theater weeping? Maybe all the publicity department needs to know is this: "From the screenwriter of Ghost."
4. The Dogs Of Babel by Carolyn Parkhurst
The Internet Movie Database lists this spooky novel about animal-human communication as "in development." David Fincher comes to mind as the right director for Carolyn Parkhurst's tragic story about a man whose need to find out whether his wife's death was an accident or a suicide leads him to try teaching his dog, the only witness to the event, to speak. Nicolas Cage or Liam Neeson would work as the husband, an academic who cloaks his increasingly bizarre research under the veneer of objective scientific curiosity. And maybe William Wegman could lend one of his Weimaraners for the dog—that heartbreaking look of "What are you doing to me, master?" will have audiences getting out their handkerchiefs.
5. The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Excited for Will Smith's upcoming post-apocalyptic flick I Am Legend? Bah… look how clean and sharply dressed he is, driving luxury vehicles around—that isn't apocalypse! Better hold off two years for Cormac McCarthy's The Road. The Pulitzer-winning novel doesn't hold back anything in its gritty tale of an Earth turned to wasteland and populated by scattered bands of cannibals. But science-fiction fans shouldn't expect Mad-Max-esque action: The Road is a slow-paced, dismal affair with little dialogue and heavy focus on the minutiae of survival (mostly looking for food and trying to stay warm); a successful film adaptation would mirror the measured desperation of The Pianist. With Viggo Mortensen reportedly starring and John Hillcoat—who already has one excellent trek-through-wasteland movie under his belt with The Proposition—directing, The Road should be a dark, harrowing journey that redefines the doomsday-film landscape.
6. Jernigan by David Gates
Self-destructing midlife suburban males have made for some terrific films, American Beauty perhaps the most notable. But while that movie portrayed its protagonist's breakdown through near-slapstick (boss-blackmailing, smoking pot with teens), Jernigan—a Pulitzer Prize finalist—resonates with believability. Peter Jernigan is a widower, father to a teenage son, and (increasingly) an alcoholic, and his inability to handle any of these aspects of his life leads to a depressingly rapid downfall. The wisecracking Jernigan is much more likeable than, say, Nicholas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas, making a Jernigan film easier to sit through; Jernigan's biting sarcasm would also get more intelligent laughs than American Beauty's cheap sight gags (i.e., faux fellatio). Why should David Gates' 1991 novel be adapted now? Well, it's been 14 years since Robert Downey Jr. was nominated for Best Actor, and it's time he got his Oscar props—this would be just the movie to do it.
7. A Confederacy Of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
The history of the often-almost-filmed A Confederacy Of Dunces offers a tantalizing exercise in imagining greatness that might have been, overshadowed only by the prospect of what else John Kennedy Toole might have written if he hadn't committed suicide in 1969. The Pulitzer-winning cult classic has been attempted on several occasions, with John Belushi, John Candy, and Chris Farley all named at various points to step into the oversized shoes of hyper-neurotic intellectual man-child Ignatius J. Reilly, along with such talents as Buck Henry, Stephen Fry, and Richard Pryor in key roles. Most recently, director Steven Soderbergh and Will Ferrell were attached to the movie, which was cancelled in 2005 amid lawsuits, then reportedly revived again, but apparently now dead in the water. Adapting Dunces' bilious satire, rich in bizarre description and interior monologue and so essentially suffused with the spirit of 1960s New Orleans, would be difficult in any case—although Terry Gilliam did just fine with the similarly challenging Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas. Post-Katrina, capturing the spirit of New Orleans on film as well as Dunces did on the page seems almost impossible, but maybe all the more important because of it.
8. Ubik by Philip K. Dick
Philip K. Dick died in 1982, the same year that Blade Runner, the first adaptation of one of his novels, was released. Since then, his work has been pillaged for cinema successfully (A Scanner Darkly) and abysmally (Paycheck). But 1969's Ubik was the first Dick book considered for the big screen; Dick himself wrote a screenplay for it in 1974 at the behest of New Wave auteur Jean-Pierre Gorin, but the project never materialized. It's a shame, since many of the novel's topics—terrorism, cryogenics, drugs, consumerism run amok—are quintessentially Dickian and as relevant (or more so) today. And while Steven Spielberg spruced up his adaptation of Dick's Minority Report with gobs of Hollywood action, Ubik is already a gripping thriller—in addition to being a time-warped mind-fuck. A Scanner Darkly producer Tommy Pallotta holds Ubik's option, and he's expressed interest in pushing the project forward soon. With Paul Giamatti allegedly playing Dick in an upcoming biopic, the timing couldn't be better.
9. The March by E.L. Doctorow
Doctorow's slim fictionalized account of General Sherman's destructive advance through Georgia pings between dozens of characters, sketching an America in the process of remaking itself in the final year of the Civil War. It'll take a writer and director with a mutually deft touch to capture the book's post-apocalyptic force without losing its occasionally comic side, or its nuanced depiction of how the War widened the divide between rich and poor in a purportedly democratic nation. The trick is to follow Doctorow's structure, shifting the action between a variety of fronts to capture the story's simultaneity and scope. Any filmmaker brave enough not to tinker with the book too much should find the resonant modern themes all lined up: the insanity of war, the inexorability of greed, and the responsibilities that invading armies have to the people they liberate.
10. The Life And Times Of Scrooge McDuck by Don Rosa
When Pixar's John Lasseter took over Disney's animation department, he promised to revive cel-animated features. A great place to start would be with this picaresque biography of Donald Duck's rich uncle—a tale that winds from the Scottish moors in the 1870s through various gold rushes over the next century. Rosa's 12-chapter graphic novel already cleaves nicely into a trilogy, with the end of the every fourth chapter ending on a high, and while each chapter does more or less stand alone, episodic stories are pretty much the norm for classic children's literature, and could be for movies as well. Besides, wouldn't Disney like to have three sure-fire hit features to release in consecutive years, Lord Of The Rings-style? And what a coup for comics and animation fans too, to see a big-screen version of Rosa's funny, action-packed, and profoundly pragmatic portrait of wealth's promise and pitfalls.
11. "The Moosepath League Chronicles" by Van Reid
Since 1998, Reid has penned five Dickensian novels set in late 19th-century Maine, each starring kindly lawyer Tobias Walton, his companion/servant Sundry Moss, and the three businessmen who make up the rest of the do-good Moosepath League. The books typically begin with some congenial fellowship, and then coincidences push the members off in different directions, to rescue kidnapped babies, lady balloonists, or blackmailed magnates. Reid's straightforward recreations of 100-year-old serialized novels—with no tongues or cheeks in sight—may strike some as cloyingly sweet, but the stories are tightly constructed and endlessly surprising, with a lot to say about how social conventions both bind us and restrict us. If Wes Anderson were looking for a change in direction and a crossover hit, his sensibility would be well-suited to Reid's books, which read like juvenile fiction for adults.
12. The Bonehunters' Revenge by David Rains Wallace
The true story of the bitter, career-destroying conflict between 19th-century America's two most prominent dinosaur hunters, Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh, seems like a no-brainer for a movie. The so-called "Bone Wars"—decades of vicious infighting, dirty tricks, and self-destructive jealousy that bankrupted both men—also led to some of the most dazzling scientific discoveries of the age, and even drew in people like Ulysses Grant and Buffalo Bill Cody. It was like The Prestige meets Jurassic Park. The story has been told several times in prose form, including The Bonehunter's Revenge, Mark Jaffe's The Gilded Dinosaur, and Jim Ottaviani and Big Time Attic's slightly fictionalized graphic novel Bone Sharps, Cowboys, And Thunder Lizards. But surprisingly, nobody has ever put the story on film. Giant lizards and giant egos clashing in the Old West, both out for blood? Hollywood, drop whatever you're doing and get to work on this.
13. Mister Sandman by Barbara Gowdy
Barbara Gowdy's Mister Sandman is about the Canary family, whose dysfunction is like any other family's, until Doris and Gordon's teenage daughter Sonja gives birth to tiny Joan, dubbed "the reincarnation baby" because at birth she apparently screamed "Oh, no, not again!" right before she was dropped on her head. As Joan develops into a reclusive idiot savant, living mostly in her closet, the story becomes a rumination on the acute observation of children and their way of secretly understanding adults. The Technicolor cartoon suburbia in which the story is set brings to mind the gossipy town Tim Burton devised for Edward Scissorhands. The "musical" project baby Joan reveals over the course of the story could be handled by Danny Elfman. But Joan, described "with those pale green eyes, and the hair on her head… like milkweed tuft," thankfully could not be portrayed by Johnny Depp. Your move, Mr. Burton.
14. Oh Pure And Radiant Heart by Lydia Millet
Lydia Millet's Oh Pure And Radiant Heart takes on humanity's 62-year-old phobia of nuclear devastation and somehow turns it into a science-fiction/love story/black comedy that leads readers to root for J. Robert Oppenheimer, Enrico Fermi, and Leo Szilard, the scientists and engineers who brought us the damn bomb to begin with. In a plot device that steals generously, though subconsciously, from the television series Quantum Leap, three hero-scientists are transported to the present day after a test flash renders them unconscious. In a particularly funny early scene, Oppenheimer awakes in a motel room and spends the greater portion of his day figuring out what the remote control does, variously typing on it and pointing at objects until he hits the power button and the television comes alive. The three geniuses eventually embark on separate quests, visiting Hiroshima memorials and protest parades for disarmament. Aghast at what their work has done to the world, they reform and become crusaders against themselves. While a director like Robert Zemeckis might be inclined to turn this into his own politically minded Back To The Future, let's hope Terry Gilliam reads this book before he does.
15. Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
Large-scale, ambitious fiction doesn't work in films when hacked to pieces and squished into 90 minutes, so two movies and a Peter Jackson-esque dedication to perfection would be needed for David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas. The book has six stories presented in different formats; Cloud Atlas Vol. 1 would launch the stories of a 19th-century seafarer (as related in a diary); a 1930s composer (as related in letters); an investigative journalist in the '70s (as written in a novel); a present-day book publisher (as shown in a film); a clone in a dystopic future (as told in an interview); and a primitive tribesman in a far, post-apocalyptic future (as related in verbal storytelling). Cloud Atlas Vol. 2 would then work backward through the stories' conclusions, ending with the seafarer. Why now for Cloud Atlas? Because it's been a long time since there's been a good film in any one of its genres.
16. A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers
The film rights to Dave Eggers' terrific, perfectly titled memoir were purchased in 2002, two years after the book's release, and various directors have been rumored to be attached. The story, which revolves around Eggers' efforts to raise his little brother after their parents' deaths, has apparently been adapted for the screen already, by novelist Nick Hornby and John Cusack's writing partner, D.V. Divicentes, and director Kim Peirce (Boys Don't Cry) is the latest director supposedly attached. She'd be a good choice, considering that the slow-moving story will take a deft touch to bring to life without any Hollywood sap attached.
17. King Dork by Frank Portman
Will Ferrell's company purchased the movie rights to Frank Portman's hilarious teen-lit novel King Dork not long after it was published, and though production hasn't begun, the movie is in active development. (This, of course, means little—but at least they're talking about it!) If done right, a Dork movie could slot alongside great adolescent-angst dramedies; Portman, singer of the long-running punk band The Mr. T Experience, knows of what he speaks. The main character, Tom Henderson—the titular King Dork, also known by a variety of demeaning nicknames—and his best friend constantly start new bands, imagining names and album covers, each described in loving detail. It would be a mistake to give the movie over too completely to the story's mystery aspect, though, so they'll need to tread lightly and study Portman's characters as much as the plot.
18. Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
Jeffrey Eugenides' Pulitzer-winning second novel nestles a small, personal story about a young person coming of age in Michigan while becoming aware of his/her intersexuality within a larger story of intertwined families, genocide, and American immigration. A film version would be an ambitious undertaking, but it'd make a great project for any director who could capture Eugenides' gentle, biting irony and hone into the book's examination of identity and the many uncontrollable factors that shape it, even in a country that values fresh starts.
19. World War Z by Max Brooks
Moviegoers can't be blamed for feeling a little zombie fatigue these days, but that's no reason Max Brooks' apocalyptic, politically astute, weirdly inspiring tale of humanity in the face of a world gone undead should remain unfilmed. The book is probably too episodic in its current form, but cherry-picking key sequences—the submarine episode, or (sniff) the tales of the anti-zombie canine corps—and presenting them as separate stories in a shared universe, Sin City style, could easily work.
20. The Moviegoer by Walker Percy
Rumor long had Terrence Malick eyeing this project, and it's hard to imagine anyone making Walker Percy's classic American existential novel without Malick's dreamy philosophizing and eye for finding the profound in the fabric of everyday life. Then again, the success of Mad Men, a TV show whose hero owes a lot to Percy's spiritually adrift protagonist, suggests that Malick's approach isn't the only one that could work.
21. The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien
To an outside observer, the idea of a Lord Of The Rings prequel directed by Peter Jackson is a no-brainer: His Rings trilogy cumulatively grossed more than a billion dollars in domestic theater run alone, drawing in casual fantasy fans, non-fans, and fanatics alike. They looked terrific and they even mostly respected the source material. They also spawned a renaissance in epic fantasy films, which has diluted the market somewhat. But surely audiences would flock back to theaters for a fourth Jackson/Tolkien pairing. Jackson wants to do the film, and fans desperately want to see it. Unfortunately, his lawsuit against New Line over accounting practices prompted studio head Bob Shaye to announce that New Line would never work with him again. Shaye has since softened that stance considerably—the prospect of another $500 million or so in profits has to be tempting, lawsuit or no—but the future of a Jackson Hobbit is still uncertain. News stories in April 2007 put Spider-Man director Sam Raimi in negotiations to hand Spider-Man 4 over to another director and take on The Hobbit, which seems like messing with success on two franchises at once. It's a pity; Hobbit, which was written for a younger audience, is accessible adventure with much of the sweep and epic sprawl of the Rings books—plus a big honkin' dragon, and who doesn't want to see Jackson's version of that?

2010 Coming down from the reductionism trip ...
|Animal cell, Wikipedia Commons
For me, the brain is not a supercomputer in which the neurons are transistors; rather it is as if each individual neuron is itself a computer, and the brain a vast community of microscopic computers. But even this model is probably too simplistic since the neuron processes data flexibly and on disparate levels, and is therefore far superior to any digital system. If I am right, the human brain may be a trillion times more capable than we imagine, and "artificial intelligence" a grandiose misnomer.I recommend avoiding the thoughts and works of reductionists.
I think it is time to acknowledge fully that living cells make us what we are, and to abandon reductionist thinking in favour of the study of whole cells. Reductionism has us peering ever closer at the fibres in the paper of a musical score, and analysing the printer's ink. I want us to experience the symphony.
Interpret the history of life how you will, reductionism as such has been the most spectacular failure since the perpetual motion machine. I wonder if there is a conceptual link between the two ideas.

The 4-year-old boy was taken to Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach with a broken leg, police said.
A small child was struck by a car on Ridgewood Avenue in Port Orange, police said, after his mother failed to realize he had vanished from their motel room Friday morning.
The 4-year-old boy was taken to Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach with a broken leg, police said, and his mother, Kayla Geraty, 22, was charged with child neglect, said Port Orange Assistant Police Chief Wayne Miller.
Miller said the youngster was running in and out of the roadway on the west side of Ridgewood Avenue about 9 a.m. while his mother was inside Room 7 of the Dusk to Dawn motel at Ridgewood and Fox Place.
At one point, the child ran east across Ridgewood as motorist Brandon Fanizzi, 18, was heading south in a 1990 Jaguar, Miller said.
Fanizzi tried to swerve to avoid hitting the boy but the child bolted in front of the car and Fanizzi could not stop, Miller said.
When police questioned Geraty, she said she didn't even know her son had left the room, Miller said.
Miller said the state's Department of Children and Families was contacted and told about the incident.
Fanizzi, of South Daytona, was not charged, Miller said.
