Healing companionship through fly-fishing for men with cancer
When James Vihtelic began treatment at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center for bladder cancer in 2003, he joined the program's Bladder Cancer Support Group (PDF). He participated for several years and still drops in occasionally. Though he didn't realize it thirteen years ago, Jim was about to become a steadfast advocate of support for men with cancer.
"I enjoyed fly-fishing as boy, but didn't think of it again until I saw a brochure for a cancer support network for men that involved fly-fishing," he remembers. Continue reading

A warm welcome: Volunteer opportunities abound at the Cancer Center
Gretchen Elsner-Sommer enjoys welcoming people, whether it is into her home in Ann Arbor, her former bed and breakfast in Illinois or the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. At 66, this breast cancer survivor volunteers at the Cancer Center every week hoping to make at least one cancer patient's day a little brighter.
"My job is to help them feel more at ease and get them where they need to be," says Elsner-Sommer, who works as a patient guide. "I love getting people talking about something else besides what they're going through, even if it's just for a few minutes."
Elsner-Sommer decided to become a Cancer Center volunteer after her own cancer experience, which began in the late 1990s.
"I know what it's like to walk into the building and not know where the heck you're going. I can really relate to that and help patients feel more comfortable. People are so grateful to have someone smile at them who's not a doctor."
Elsner-Sommer has survived stage 1 breast cancer on two occasions. In addition to swimming and sticking to a mainly raw food diet, volunteering is part of her recovery. She said it lifts her spirits each week as she aims to give back.
"As a patient, I'd see these older women volunteers telling people where their appointments were. It was a great image before me to see them healthy and active."
In her spare time, Elsner-Sommer writes and studies genealogy. She's been gathering facts on the women in her family since she moved from Illinois to Ann Arbor in the mid-90s with her husband, David. To welcome their family, they built a guest cottage behind their home, which also houses the guest book from Elsner-Sommer's former bed and breakfast.
Mary McCully, the program coordinator for the Cancer Center's Volunteer and Community Resources program, welcomes all volunteers and can help those who are interested determine what role is the match best for them. She suggests visiting mCancer.org/volunteer to get a sense of the wide variety of volunteer opportunities available to students, former patients, their families and community members.
"All our volunteers come to the Cancer Center for a specific orientation. As part of training, you might shadow a current volunteer in an area for several weeks to get comfortable in the role. Our volunteers typically come in one time a week for a 3-4 hour shift."
The University of Michigan Health System, including the Cancer Center, asks all volunteers to commit for six months.
"No matter what their role, our volunteers give back through the goodness of their hearts," McCully says. "I don't think they realize how much of a difference they make in a patient's day. I'm very appreciative of those in our community who volunteer their time."
Volunteer opportunities at the Cancer Center include:
- The Patient Education Resource Center (PERC)
- The Courtesy Center desk
- Patient guides in the lobby
- The mobile coffee cart (offering complimentary warm beverages to waiting patients)
- The Warm Fuzzies blanket project
- And more!
All Cancer Center volunteers receive a special orientation and training to be comfortable in the role. No experience is needed.
For Elsner-Sommer, volunteering is "the best thing in the world." She finds strength in the patients she meets and admires their bravery. She uses her past experiences as a bed and breakfast owner to get to know people and can easily recall multiple interactions with patients, from the woman who used to work at Marshall Field's in Chicago during World War II to the young man on crutches with the heavy backpack. She looks forward to seeing the man in the Notre Dame sweatshirt, who always comes to the Cancer Center with one of his many daughters.
"I could tell you a million stories about the people I meet," she laughs. "All you have to do is be nice to people. I get so much more out of volunteering than I give."

HPV and throat cancer
Recently I received a phone call from a patient who was concerned about the increased risk of throat cancer related to a human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. When asked, she stated that yes, both she and her partner had engaged in oral sex, therefore, the concerned interest in a potential connection between HPV and throat cancer.
Oropharyngeal cancer in the throat, soft palate, tonsils or base of the tongue can occur as a result of the HPV virus. HPV can cause warts in the genitals, mouth and anus, and is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the United States, particularly in adults younger than 55. This might be related to changes in oral sex practices. Continue reading

One of my favorite things about The Fisher College of Business is the incredible faculty. My time in the Full Time MBA has introduced me to incredible professors and lecturers – all who are more than willing to share their experiences and expertise.
I am currently enrolled in the class Organization Turnaround taught by Mr. Jeff Rodeck, who worked at FedEx as Senior Vice President before becoming CEO and turning around Hyperion. It is a very interesting class and he has brought in other speakers to share their experience of how to change the course of a company/firm for the better.
Other professors have worked for P&G, Sears, PriceWaterhouse Coopers, Deloitte, Pepsi Co., The Limited, Wells Fargo and more. It is a wonderful opportunity to learn from those that have experience in the field and with companies across the globe.
Fisher's faculty also have incredibly diverse and broad research background. Publications vary across all areas and numerous members of our faculty have received distinguished awards for their publications.
Our Senior Associate Dean, Karen Hopper Wruck, also teaches Corporate Finance II. I am currently taking Corp. Finance I now – so hopefully I'll be seeing her in the classroom next term!

ROCHESTER — Despite a notable decrease in burglaries in 2012, police efforts to fight property crime continues, particularly when it comes to shoplifting and theft from vehicles.
While burglaries were an issue of concern a year ago — when police reported they increased by about 20 percent between 2010 and 2011 — the numbers of reported burglaries have decreased through 2012.
Police report a 25-percent decrease in burglaries between 2011 and 2012. In 2011, 191 burglaries were reported, and 24 arrests were made. In 2012, 144 burglaries were reported, and 23 arrests were made.
Police Capt. Paul Toussaint said that ward-based policing, and encouraging residents to report suspicious activity, has helped keep burglary numbers lower.
Also, police throughout the past year have been capitalizing on information sharing, among shifts and among neighboring police departments.
"It's critical we communicate with other agencies who may have similar crimes," said Toussaint.
He said "burglary sprees" in particular are typically not confined to just one jurisdiction.
Chelsey ZeRuth, crime analyst at the Police Department, said she has also spent time looking at past suspects, and seeing if their profile matches up to the more recently reported crimes.
She said it's typical to have multiple burglaries committed by the same person. Using information sharing to apprehend a burglary suspect early on tends to prevent that person from committing further burglaries, thus preventing crime sprees, said Toussaint.
Despite success in addressing burglaries, property crime overall has increased in the city by 4 percent in 2012. Reports of shoplifting went up by 31 percent, and thefts from vehicles went up by 40 percent.
Toussaint said traditionally, shoplifting had not been a type of crime to which the police department paid a strong attention. In the past, police have left it to businesses' loss prevention department to catch that type of crime and prevent theft.
But with shoplifting numbers steadily increasing through 2012, police have recently begun publicizing arrests made on willful concealment charges. A willful concealment charge refers to a shoplifting offense, and is defined as a type of theft, in which a person hides an item in a store with the purpose of stealing that item.
Police now release the names and booking photos of shoplifting suspects to Foster's.
"If we make it public knowledge ... maybe we'll have a preventive effect," said Toussaint.
The Police Department is also collaborating with city businesses on establishing an online database on shoplifting activity. Once the website is up and running, businesses will be able to share what type of suspicious activity and shoplifting incidences occur at their stores.
Toussaint said shoplifting tends to occur at bigger area stores such as Walmart, as well as local convenience stores.
ZeRuth said loss prevention departments in area stores have been stepping up security, and reporting more theft to police.
"We rely on the stores to report shoplifting," said Toussaint, noting police officers cannot patrol inside the stores.
In terms of statistics showing a 31-percent increase in shoplifting, ZeRuth said it's difficult to tell whether more people are committing the crime, or whether stores are simply reporting more shoplifting instances to police.
The largest increase in property crime in 2012 was thefts from vehicles, which went up by 40 percent over last year.
Toussaint said that for many years, the police department has been working to convince residents to lock their vehicles and hide any valuables, but officers can't force drivers to take precautions.
Previously, Police Chief Mike Allen said more than 90 percent of thefts from vehicles occur when the vehicles are unlocked.
"We are looking at this as a crime of opportunity," said Toussaint, who said that more often than not, suspects go from one vehicle to another, seeing which car has a door unlocked.
He said that places in which residents can keep their cars and homes unlocked are a thing of the past.
"The culture has changed," he said. "This isn't 1955 anymore."
Vandalism, which has been a police concern in years past, has decreased by 12 percent over the past year. Several years ago, police battled with weeklong vandalism sprees, such as those involving BB guns being shot at property. Those sprees, said Toussaint, have not occurred in years, as far as he remembers.
Now, vandalism consists of a person ripping someone else's shirt during an argument, or throwing someone's cell phone on the ground and breaking it, said ZeRuth.
In Rochester, violent crime is traditionally not an issue of concern, and Toussaint noted that in general, residents have reason to feel safe in the Lilac City.
Violent crime did go up by 2 percent over the past year, but aggravated assault went down by 34 percent. In 2011, 612 violent offenses were reported, and 83 of them were aggravated assault, as opposed to robbery, homicide, or simple assault. In 2012, 623 violent offenses were reported, and 55 of them involved aggravated assault.
"We don't see a lot of random victims of aggravated assault," said Toussaint.
He said assault in the city typically happens among people who know each other. A large proportion also involves domestic violence.

ATLANTA, June 20 (UPI) -- The vaccine against human papillomavirus infections is more effective than expected, but only a third of U.S. girls age 13-17 are vaccinated, officials say.
The study, published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases, found since the vaccine was introduced in 2006, vaccine-type HPV prevalence decreased 56 percent among females ages 14-19.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said each year 19,000 cancers caused by HPV occur in women -- cervical cancer is the most common in U.S. women -- while, about 8,000 cancers caused by HPV occur each year in U.S. men with oral cancer the most common.
About 79 million Americans, most in their late teens and early 20s, are infected with HPV and each year, about 14 million people become newly infected, the CDC said.
"This report shows that HPV vaccine works well, and the report should be a wake-up call to protect the next generation by increasing HPV vaccination rates," Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the CDC, said in a statement.
"The U.S. low vaccination rate represent 50,000 preventable tragedies -- 50,000 girls alive today will develop cervical cancer over their lifetime that would have been prevented if we reach 80 percent vaccination rates."
For every year the U.S. delays HPV vaccination, another 4,400 girls will develop cervical cancer in their lifetimes, Frieden said.
Dr. Lauri Markowitz and colleagues at the CDC used the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data to compare prevalence, or proportion of girls and women, age 14-59 with certain types of HPV -- before the start of the HPV vaccination program from 2003-06 with the prevalence after vaccine introduction from 2007-10.
"The decline in vaccine type prevalence is higher than expected and could be due to factors such as to herd immunity, high effectiveness with less than a complete three-dose series and/or changes in sexual behavior we could not measure," Markowitz said.

Reginald Baylor and Art Milwaukee win Joyce Award
Sometimes, simple questions can be powerful.
Some of Milwaukee's most blighted and low-income neighborhoods happen to be among the oldest, most diverse and culturally rich places to live and work.
Instead of coming at them with solutions and a focus on problems, why not start with a genuine sense of curiosity? This seems to be the question raised by TypeFace a public art project planned for Milwaukee that received funding from the Chicago-based Joyce Foundation, it was announced Monday.
The Joyce Award, designed to commission new work of community-driven art from artists of color, was given to Reginald Baylor Studio and Art Milwaukee. The prestigious prize comes with a $50,000 grant.
Local storyteller and media producer Adam Carr will work with Baylor to gather stories from four neighborhoods. Spoken word artist Dasha Kelly will also be involved, Carr said. They will ask basic questions like: Why here? What's next? Who are you?
From the responses gathered, Baylor will create text-based paintings for abandoned homes, store fronts and buildings in the neighborhoods, which include Layton Boulevard West, Sherman Park, Lindsey Heights and Harambee. The group is hoping to raise additional funds to create works of high caliber and permanence, Carr said.
The idea is to reflect community dialog. A website will document the process, from initial efforts at community engagement to the final works of art. The Baylor Studio will direct the art project, and Art Milwaukee will facilitate the grant.
This is the second Joyce award for Baylor. The Milwaukee Art Museum and Theaster Gates received $50,000 in 2010 to commission an original art project and performance at MAM and organized by the Chipstone Foundation.
Other Joyce winners will engage communities in Chicago's Grant Park, in Minneapolis and St. Paul. The Joyce Awards is celebrating 10 years of awards spanning six states. For more information on the Joyce Awards and other winners, go to the Joyce Foundation website.
"The project offers an outlet for a community to redefine and publicize to the city at large its own self-definition and aspirations," the organizers say, according to a statement at the Art Milwaukee web site.

The Fifth Edition of C: A Reference Manual (C:ARM5, ISBN 0-13-089592X) was published by Prentice Hall February 2002. This edition adds a complete description of the new features and libraries in the C99 standard, while maintaining the description of the C89 standard and traditional C.
The Book
C:ARM5 is in stock at Amazon.com and other stores. The book has 560 pages (up from 480 pages in the fourth edition). The list price is $49.00, but new copies are available for less than $35.00 at popular online stores.
The C99 Standard
ISO/IEC 9899-1999, International Standard--Programming Languages--C ("C99") was published December 1, 1999. That document superseded all "ANSI C" documents. The standard has been updated with these corrigenda (as of May 2006):
A good place to get recent standardization news and copies of documents is http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG14/. Informal discussions of C standards take place on the Usenet newsgroup comp.std.c.
The reasoning behind many parts of the C89 and C99 standards is captured in Rationale for International Standard--Programming Languages--C, which is available from the open-std.org site mentioned above.

Here's your chance to moonlight as an electrical inspector and second-guess someone else's work from the safety of your living room or office. Can you identify the Code violation(s) in this photo?
Hint: Method of support
Find the Answer
How well do you know the Code? Think you can spot violations the original installer either ignored or couldn't identify? Here's your chance to moonlight as an electrical inspector and second-guess someone else's work from the safety of your living room or office. Can you identify the Code violation(s) in this photo?
Using the 2008 NEC, correctly identify the Code violation(s) in this month's photo — in 200 words or less — and you could win something to put in your toolbox. E-mail your response to [email protected], and we'll select three winners (excluding manufacturers and prior winners) at random from the correct submissions. Winners will receive a set of insulated hand tools from Ideal Industries, Inc., valued at more than $125. (Please allow six to eight weeks for delivery of tools.)
May Winner
This month's winners were: Timothy F. May, master electrician, Westphal & Co., Evansville, Wis.; Ted Worst, engineer, Allied Electric, Inc., Grand Rapids, Mich.; and Bill Moore, owner, Northfield Electric, New York, N.Y.
The first violation is the use of an EMT connector to secure the Type MC cable to the enclosure. Use of the EMT connector with the Type MC cable violates 300.15. The second paragraph of this section says, "Fittings shall be used only with the specific wiring methods for which they are designed and listed." That wording is very restrictive, and the use of any fitting that is not "designed and listed" for the wiring method in question constitutes a Code violation.
Another violation is use of a 43 1½-in.3 square box for seven No. 12 conductors and two devices. As shown in Table 314.16(A), such a box may contain up to nine No. 12 conductors. But Part (4) to 314.16(B) says, "For each yoke or strap containing one or more devices or equipment, a double volume allowance in accordance with Table 314.16(B) shall be made for each yoke or strap based on the largest conductor connected to a device(s) or equipment supported by that yoke or strap." This requires four additional No. 12s be added to the seven No. 12s that actually enter the box for a total of eleven No. 12s, which means the box is overfilled. It should be noted that although 314.16(A) permits a plaster ring to be considered in the overall volume of the enclosure, such consideration may only be given where the plaster ring has its volume marked on the ring. Because we can't see the marking, we can't add any volume to the box in question.
Some noted that the box should have a barrier, because there are orange-colored conductors within the enclosure, which is the color coding typically used for 480/277V system conductors to satisfy 404.8(B). That section states, "A snap switch shall not be grouped or ganged within the same enclosure with other snap switches, receptacles, or similar devices, unless they are arranged so that voltage between adjacent devices does not exceed 300V, or unless they are installed in enclosures equipped with identified, securely installed barriers between adjacent devices." In this case, the conductors are all operating at 120V to neutral, so there is no violation of 404.8(B). However, the means of branch circuit conductor identification required by 210.5(C) does not seem to have been satisfied.

Story highlights
- FA says Luis Suarez gave 'unreliable' evidence in race abuse case
- Suarez received eight-game ban and $62,000 fine
- 115-page report details his exchanges with Patrice Evra
- Liverpool still to decide whether to appeal findings
Liverpool's Uruguay international striker Luis Suarez has been accused of giving "unreliable" and "inconsistent" evidence to the disciplinary panel which banned him for eight-games for alleged racial abuse of Manchester United's Patrice Evra.
The findings of the Independent Regulatory Commission were released late Saturday night on the official website of the English Football Association (FA).
The detailed 115-page ruling went over the circumstances of the clash between the pair in the match at Liverpool's Anfield ground on October 15.
It concluded that Suarez had called Evra a "negro" no fewer than seven times during the course of the English Premier League match.
The panel heard evidence from both players and also used linguistic experts to examine television footage of the game.
Their investigations centered on an incident just before the hour mark after Suarez fouled the French international full-back.
At a subsequent Liverpool corner, Evra was marking the striker and they became involved in a fierce row.
Evra made a complaint to referee Andre Mariner and again after the game, which
prompted the FA investigation.
Suarez, who was publicly supported by his manager Kenny Dalglish and teammates, argued before the panel that the use of he word "negro" was not offensive.
But the commission rejected his arguments in handing down their lengthy ban and a $62,000 fine.
"Mr Evra was a credible witness," read its report.
"He gave his evidence in a calm, composed and clear way. It was, for the most part, consistent, although both he and Mr Suarez were understandably unable to remember every detail of the exchanges between them.
"Mr Suarez's evidence was unreliable in relation to matters of critical importance. It was, in part, inconsistent with the contemporaneous evidence, especially the video footage," it added.
However, the commission did not believe Suarez was "racist" but had used "insulting" words, which was the basis of the FA charge against him.
"We have found that charge proved on the evidence and arguments put before us. The FA made clear that it did not contend that Mr Suarez acted as he did because he is a racist.
"Mr Evra said in his evidence that he did not think Mr Suarez is a racist. Mr Suarez said in evidence that he will not use the word 'negro' on a football pitch in England in the future, and we believe that is his genuine and firm intention."
Liverpool have until January 13 to appeal, leaving Suarez free to play, including a
English League Cup semifinal first leg tie against Manchester City two days before.
They issued a statement on their website to confirm receipt of the commission's report.
"The player, the club and our legal advisers will now take the necessary amount of time to read, digest and properly consider the contents of the 115 page judgment and will make no further comment at present," it read.
The Suarez affair comes at the same time England captain John Terry is facing a criminal charge of using racist language against QPR defender Anton Ferdinand during Chelsea's EPL game on October 23.
Terry has vowed to fight the charges "tooth and nail" and like Suarez has received the backing of his club.
The FA is postponing its action until the court proceedings are concluded early this year.

Buffalo, NY - The Men's and Women's Cross Country teams both finished their seasons Saturday at the NCAA Northeast Regionals at the Audubon Golf Course. The women came away with a 24th overall team finish out of 36 teams and the men were an incomplete team as only three people finished.
Even though the men's team has been sidetracked by injury and illness this season, they did enjoy some great individual success on Saturday. Connelly and Lusignan recorded the program's best 1-2 finish ever in a regional meet. Connelly's place finish, 77th, was their best individual finish ever, surpassing the 93rd place finish recorded by Tyler Arnett in 2005. Lusignan's 96th place is the third best place finish ever by a Sacred Heart athlete, topping Matthew Uzenski's 98th in 2001.
Sophomore Brittany Lane (Greenwich, NY) had the top finish for the Pioneers with a 65th place finish out of 243 runners with a time of 22:17, in the 6k race. Lane recorded the fastest 6000 meter cross country time in program history. Her clocking of 22:17.5 surpassed the incumbent school record of 22:23.0, which was set by Katie Wrinkle in 2000. Lane also improved 85 places upon her 150th place finish from last year, and was the top Northeast Conference finisher in the race. The next closest NEC finisher placed 99th. She also placed a full-minute ahead of the 2011 NEC individual champion (122nd in 23:17.7), and topped the 2010 NEC individual champion as well (145th in 23:38.8).
Following were Michelle Navarro (Piscataway, NJ) in 136th place, Brianna Castrogivanni (Commack, NY) in 149th place, Emma Bolduc (Peterborough, NH) in 163rd place, and Alyssa Selmquist (Northford, CT) in 166th place rounded out the scoring for the Pioneers.
The Pioneers finished second out of NEC teams, only losing out to Qunnipiac who finished 20th. The Syracuse Orange were the 2011 Northeast Regional team winners.
For the Men, Christopher Connelly (Medford, NY) had the high finish for Sacred Heart finishing 77th out of 240 runners with a time of 33:08, in the 10k race. The two other Pioneer finishers were Jeffery Lusignan (East Montpelier, VT) in 96th place and Patrick Peterson (Gloversville, NY) in 230th place. The Syracuse Orange were also the Northeast Regional team champions on the Men's side.

Inspiration vs Perspiration
I know this post is going to test the limits of my credibility with you, faithful Cake Wrecks readers, so here is the originating site*, provided by Summer from TX, to prove I am not making this up.
First, the inspiration:
Which isn't bad, I guess, if you've got a Brave Heart kind of vibe going for your wedding. Certainly it's executed well.
Anyway, here is what the paid, "professional" baker provided:
[glancing between the two photos]
It's like seeing double, isn't it?
I mean, sure, the second one is collapsed in on itself, slumped over to one side, and channeling a bit more Bob Marley than William Wallace, but besides all that I'd say the decorator was bang on, wouldn't you? Ok, ok, if you wanted to get picky about it, I guess that crack in the bottom – the one you can see the cake through? – that probably should have been iced over. Oh, and the red stripe might look a little nicer if it were one continuous line – or for that matter, if the line were straight. (Perhaps a little too much Red Stripe was consumed before icing the red stripe, eh? Eh? Come on, that was freakin' hilarious, people: Bob Marley? Jamaican beer? Booya!)
Come to think of it, maybe that mass of squiggles in the mid section isn't the best example of plaid I've ever seen, either. [tilting head to one side] Huh. Yeah. Ok, Summer, you got me: I can sort of see why the bride sued.

So, based on our calendar we have exactly one month until our pool opens. As LONG as the winter has been (even here in the south), it is hard to believe that the pool is opening so soon! For me, that means one last push to get into tip-top swimsuit shape (or as close as I can get.)
While getting ready for swimsuit season may mean a few less sweet treats on the weekends it definitely does not mean that we have to sacrifice delicious foods. This shrimp gazpacho is an example of eating healthy while still enjoying bold delicious flavors. I have a few more swimsuit friendly recipes to share and even a great sweet treat which I still can't believe is healthy!
This shrimp gazpacho is a little different from the other gazpacho recipe I have on this site. Besides the obvious addition of adding the shrimp you also use Clamato which is just tomato juice flavored with clam juice. It is really yummy and it gives the gazpacho a different flavor that pairs perfectly with the shrimp. This would be great to serve to guests for a spring luncheon or summer dinner party!
This recipe calls for cooked shrimp. I tossed some peeled and deveined shrimp in a little olive oil, lemon juice and Old Bay seasoning and Jim cooked them on our grill pan. Delicious!
Shrimp Gazpacho
- 64 fluid ounces tomato and clam juice cocktail
- 3 pounds cooked shrimp peeled and deveined
- 4 avocados peeled and chopped
- 2 cucumbers cubed
- 3 large tomatoes diced
- 1 red onion diced
- 1 bunch cilantro chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- In a large bowl, combine the tomato and clam juice cocktail, shrimp, avocados, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- *Alternately you can puree half of the juice, cucumbers, tomatoes, onion and cilantro in your blender or food processor. Add the remaining ingredients.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.

A Kierkegaard Anthology
Modern Library, 1959 - 494 pagine
The selections in this book have been chosen, first, with a view to the only kind of reading which the editor of an anthology has any right to expect; but secondly, in the hope that possibly a few persons may read it through from beginning to end. So read, it gives a picture of Kierkegaard's intellectual and spiritual development from the age of twenty-one (the date of the first passage from the Journals) until his death a little over twenty years later. This picture is traced by the hand of S.K. himself in the excerpts taken from his various works and arranged (with one or two exceptions) in chronological order.

let's av it
let's av it
gettin angry at guru murthy
being a 'marxist'
who shares Corbyn's belief that Labour lost the last election because they were Tory lite? (i do)
is Corbyn being painted by media as way more left wing than the policies he supports really seem to be? (seems so)
what would/will happen if/when he becomes party leader?
if you don't like him which of the others are you least appalled by?
how sick of corbyn guardian articles are you?
craner i've seen you going in for the slow steady social democracy cause (ie seatbelts), be interested to know your thoughts
I'm sure you all remember what happened the last time a bearded man with the initials "J.C." championed the poor and downtrodden while criticizing the rich and powerful. Jussayin'.
The great majority of English voters who voted Labour in 2010 but didn't in 2015 voted Tory instead, so for them at least, the problem clearly wasn't that Miliband and his shadow cabinet weren't sufficiently left-wing. Of course, even this large bloc of voters is outnumbered many times over by those who didn't vote and have never voted, so rather than trying to win back fair-weather ex-Labour voters who switched to the Tories, it would be better for a Corbyn-led Labour party to try and woo these vote-virgins, who tend to be young and are often economically marginalized and, if they can be persuaded to engage in politics at all, are more likely to vote for a party that represents their own interests.
At least, that's the theory. Thing is, there's so much anti-immigration/anti-Europe rhetoric around these days, from all the major parties as well as most of the press, that a lot of these non-voters might be more inclined to vote UKIP than Labour.
I did say belief... but you could do further analysis with some sort of research or evidence ofc. altho i spose those kinda polls aren't being done and would be incredibly hard to interpret.Labour lost the election because they didn't get enough votes. Any further analysis than that will depend on your own beliefs and prejudices.
putting forward some ideas
maybe i shoulda been clearer in that corbyn's position on labour's loss isn't that ed miliband and the sc were defeated because they weren't left enough, it was because they just didn't offer anything different to the tories, in terms of voice and narrative.The great majority of English voters who voted Labour in 2010 but didn't in 2015 voted Tory instead, so for them at least, the problem clearly wasn't that Miliband and his shadow cabinet weren't sufficiently left-wing.
i reckon in these neoliberal centreground times the typical notions of left and right didn't mean that much to voters in the last couple elections. maybe this is patronising of me but i think a lot of people don't know what left and right really means now. neoliberal and rightwing ideology set the terms of the debate during the election. the story of the deficit as the cause of the financial crisis and the return to the thatcherite analogy of a national economy to the finances of a household was so powerful and labour did so little to challenge it they walked into it.
from what he's saying about young people in interviews i think this might be the strategy.it would be better for a Corbyn-led Labour party to try and woo these vote-virgins, who tend to be young and are often economically marginalized
I think the blunt terms "left" and "right" are nearing the end of their useful life, if they haven't already outstayed their usefulness by several decades. For one thing, most people who think of themselves as left-wing support the free movement of people, not least because the Right is almost uniformly anti-immigration. And yet the free movement of people - which means the free movement of labour - is about as neoliberal a principle as you can get. The interaction of economics with culture and belief is complex, too - religious voters are often said, on the whole, to be economically progressive but socially conservative - so are they "left-wing" or "right-wing"?
I guess the argument is that the Tories and the right-wing press have been selling the idea that "austerity" is synonymous with "economic responsibility" and hence that any deviation from their austerity programme constitutes irresponsibly profligate overspending that will destroy the economy.
The right-wing Labour approach has been to respond to this by trying to be almost as pro-austerity as the Tories in the hopes of being seen as being almost as economically responsible. The Corbynite position is that this loses the left wing voters by being too Tory and doesn't actually succeed with right-wing voters either because "only slightly more likely to balls up the economy than the Tories" still isn't a particularly strong offer, and maybe it'd be more useful to actually try to attack the basic premise that equates "austerity" with "responsibility" and "social democracy" with "destroying the economy".
If Labour offer Tory Lite, they'll get in in 2025 at best, by the law of people-getting-bored-with-the-same-party-after-a-while. Given that they've lost Scotland for the foreseeable future (for ever?), even that might be optimistic.
& now #LabourPurge (Apparently o the anniversary of the trotsky icepick)
in this case i think there's a bit of a false separation of social life and economic life. for me these people are basically stuck in a contradiction. give charitably to try to alleviate some social problems on a case by case basis without fundamentally challenging the economic conditions that usually cause them.The interaction of economics with culture and belief is complex, too - religious voters are often said, on the whole, to be economically progressive but socially conservative - so are they "left-wing" or "right-wing"?
i can really see the press and establishment trying to bring Corbyn down when he becomes party leader. the shit is going to hit the fan
orrr right on the money..
David Thomas envisualises a future where Jeremy Corbyn has taken the reigns of power following a second banking crash in 2016
Certainly, church leaders have been pretty harsh critics of austerity, much to the government's embarrassment and in contradiction of the old cliché about the C of E being "the Tory party at prayer".

The first, PN 221421-16, is a high performance, fully polished double (no damper), hydraulic roller capable of handling 0.800-inch lift! The second, PN 221422-16, is a 0.780-inch lift max. Solid-roller. These are also doubles, without dampers, but come with Manley's special "super finished" process to enhance fatigue life. Both springs were designed with targeted installed and open pressures and ideal spring rates in mind for these applications. Manley Performance has also manufactured the correctly matching retainers and locators to ensure proper fitment.

Muscle Rods Coil Relocation Kit
The Muscle Rods Coil Relocation Kit alleviates the problem of the rear coils hitting the power brake booster or air conditioning box when swapping the LS engines into early vehicles. The Muscle Rods relocation brackets are CNC manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminum and then vibratory polished for a great appearance. It relocates the rear coil 3-inches to provide adequate clearance for power brake boosters and air conditioning. Each coil relocation kit includes all necessary hardware along with a longer spark plug wire. Installation is easy, the brackets bolt to the valve cover using existing mounting holes on the factory valve covers (as well as most aftermarket valve covers that utilize factory coil bracket mounting holes). The coil relocation kits are available for the driver's side and passenger separately or can be purchased together to clear both or just to add symmetry to your installation.

Modern Day Camshafts
Gen V camshafts
Revolutionary GM Gen V Camshafts (LT1/L83/L86) from COMP Cams are designed to work with the direct injection (DI), variable valve timing (VVT) and Active Fuel Management (AFM) lifters featured in GM's new Gen V V-8 engine. This means that these new XFI series hydraulic-roller cams allow users to leverage the OE technology for performance gains. Gen V Cams feature four different lobe profiles to not only allow AFM-lifter compatibility, but also to optimize intake and exhaust valve opening/closing events. COMP Cams GM Gen V Camshafts also increase torque and power throughout the entire RPM range, while providing excellent responsiveness and mid-range power over stock for across-the-board gains. The cams require the COMP Phaser Limiter Kit (PN 5456), which limits the range of camshaft movement from 62 to 22 crank degrees, thus requiring VVT program tuning. COMP Cams® GM Gen V Camshafts are available for stock to highly modified applications. Options for use include the 2014 and newer C7 Corvette, Chevy SS, Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra, along with the 2015 editions of the Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Suburban/Tahoe and GMC Yukon/Yukon XL. The smaller cams are an ideal choice for L83and L86 truck engines, while the larger versions are perfect for high performance LT1 applications. AFM-delete custom grind versions are also available.

Whole-grain bread rolls
There are not many things that can beat the whole grain bread, unless it's 8 delicious little whole grain breadrolls ;-) These are perfect for breakfast, and you can easily prepare and bake them in one evening, for e.g. Sunday breakfast! :-)
My fool-proof recipe will be a great fun, and a good addition to your baking arsenal.
When you make your own pasta, you will always end up with some scraps, even more if you make ravioli. You can easily recycle this leftover pasta to make maltagliati, meaning "poorly cut" in Italian, which was traditionally meant as food for the poor. We are way past that, and today you can enjoy rich texture and amazing flavor of your pasta without the social stigma ;-)
Sweet potato quiche
Quiche is that one recipe that I love coming back to — it's easy to make, looks delicious and tastes heavenly :-) Plus, it allows me to come up with new fillings, which makes it very versatile!
Sweet potatoes are very smooth and creamy when boiled, then baked, and shallots add a crunchy texture. The combination of them is very mild and aromatic, so make sure you spice it up to your liking!
Orange cheese-tart
I didn't plan to make this cake at all, what I did plan was apple tart with apricot jelly... Well, sometimes I just change my mind, especially while experimenting in the kitchen :-) The result is interesting, refreshing and citrusy! :-) If you don't like the strong orange aroma, you can replace them with any soft and sweet fruit: peaches, pears, and apricots should do fine!
Spongy waffles
Usually waffles are served crispy, but from time to time I like to make them soft and spongy — perfect base for a plum jam! :-) This recipe makes 4 delicious, spongy waffles that you can prepare in no-time!

Local metal fabricator receives worldwide acclaim
Cass Nawrocki of Moose Lake used time alone in an apartment in Washington, D. C., while his wife was at work to begin what his fans had been urging him to do for years — he started writing a book about his craft.
"Any Impossibility in Shaping Metal" was the result, and to Cass's surprise, the book has received worldwide acclaim.
"My books have sold in 27 countries," he said in a recent interview. "The highest number of books has gone to Australia."
In a little over a year since the book was published, Cass found himself heading to the post office often with books for interested readers in Europe, South Africa, New Zealand, Canada and Poland, as well as Australia and the United States.
"We didn't advertise it but my wife developed a web page," said Cass.
Because his book became so popular, it was mentioned in several magazines, such as the May 2012 edition of Street Rodder.
"A photo of my book and another book were shown on a page with a few sentences about each," said Cass. "That article alone was responsible for the sale of 200 books."
A mention of his book in the Duluth 914 Porsche Club publication also resulted in orders. He said that he took 20 books to the post office because of that.
As a result, Cass said that there are not many books left of the 750 that he had published, and he is now considering the idea of a second printing.
It was a long road that brought Cass from Communist Poland to live and work in Moose Lake for the past 20 years.
Casimir Nawrocki was born in July 1943 near Warsaw, Poland. His father opened a taxicab business after he bought and repaired old German cars left over from World War II. Cass learned from the skilled workers that his father had hired.
"That was back in the days when we reused nails," said Cass. "Many times during the repair process, no spare parts were available. I had more technical skills than my father. We had to be really creative to make those cars workable."
Because of his dissatisfaction with life in Communist Poland, Cass defected in June 1967. Through a circuitous route and sponsorship of a Catholic organization, Cass arrived in New York in January 1968.
His journey took him to Detroit, where he stayed for four years, learned English, and married another Polish immigrant. The couple had a son.
But riots and destruction in Detroit at that time sent the Nawrockis to live in Arizona. Cass found work in Phoenix with a man who restored luxury cars for a company.
The next step was for Cass to open his own restoration and fabrication shop. He became the first fabricator in Arizona. By the time he left Arizona for Minnesota in 1990, he had succeeded in establishing himself as a fabrication master.
Cass and his wife moved to Moose Lake to be with her family.
The 2,000 square-foot shop where he now works is home to many metal fabricating and shaping machines that Cass has created and designed for his needs. Photos of his past projects hang on the walls of his office.
Cass also builds wood frames from white ash for the cars that he spends more than a year building. Airplane parts have been built in his shop, including an engine cowling for a 1931 Waco biplane for the late singer John Denver. One of the cars that Cass built is now in Jerry Seinfeld's collection.
Cass specializes in classic cars, such as Packard, Porsche, Ferrari and Mercedes. Cars that he has built have won prizes in car shows, including a Mercedes 540 K Special Roadster (Paris, France, 1992), 1932 Ford Fordor (Detroit, Autorama, 1992), Stinson SR-6A (Oshkosh, 2000), Curtis 500-X (Amelia Island, 2001), 1932 Lincoln KB (Pebble Beach, 2003), 1932 Auburn (Santa Maria, 2007) and a Mercedes 540 K Special Roadster (Portland, 2010).
Cass builds the bodies, the cars are finished elsewhere.
"I recognize every car that I have built when I see them in photos," said Cass.
Cass's wife, Grace, died in 1992, and he met and married Tatiana, an environmental scientist from Russia, not long after. Tatiana now works in Washington, and Cass visits often.
At 69, Cass said that he doesn't plan to retire anytime soon.
In the book, Cass describes the basic steps in fabricating metal. Real jobs are described and the various steps are shown. His ingenuity is evident as he describes how to adopt the various fabricator's tools, machines and equipment.
The book has been well received by fellow metal shapers and others in the business.
"Words cannot express how impressed I was with Cass's work and his tools," wrote Kerry Pinkerton, a fellow metal shaper. His comments are printed on the last page of the book.
"This is a man who simply doesn't know that something can't be done so he just does it," he added. "There were more nuggets of wisdom from the couple of hours we were there than my brain could process. My jaw was sore from hanging open.
"The car that Cass is leaning on is a scratch built Mercedes 540 K. Cass made the entire body, from the wood framing (a work of art in itself), to the door latches, to the trim and the sheet metal. All flawlessly metal finished at a level of craftsmanship and skill that I have NEVER seen before."
Cars like the ones that Cass fabricates have sold for as high as $9 million, it has been reported in car magazines. A 1967 Lamborghini Miura that Cass had worked on for quite a while in his shop sold for $660,000.
The comments from those that have ordered and read his book are gratifying to Cass.
"Miraculous projects," and, after a tour of the shop, "remarkable, packed with mouthwatering machines" are comments that Cass has received.
Visitors have come from several locations in the world, including Belgium and Sweden.
"I didn't expect this," said Cass. "I wrote the book to pass on my knowledge, and I made money with it. Some people want to shape metal, while others just wanted to buy a technical book. Some have bought it for gifts. I am impressed and Tatiana is impressed.
"But it takes too much time to write a book, I won't write another one."

Archives are exciting…just as much as this 1943 Cyclone football game appears to be!
October is American Archives Month! What is American Archives Month? It's a month to celebrate archives. In addition, it is a month in which archivists around the country focus on raising awareness of archives and what archives have to offer. If you are a regular follower of the Special Collections Department blog, you may have read past blog posts which has some basic information about our department. When this school year first began, we had a post giving a general idea of what we have here. For last year's American Archives Month, we had a blog version of a tour of our department.
After reading the posts listed above and perusing our website and our catalog records available through the library's search system, you may still have other questions about how to use an archive. We hope to someday create our own tutorial for our department, but for now we'll list for you below some fun creations others have made which might help you get a better idea of what archives, and archivists, are all about.
The Archives of American Art have put together a wonderful blog post called "Our Archivists' Toolkit" in which staff members have written brief descriptions of their favorite tool to use in their daily work. What a wonderful idea – we wish we had thought of it first! Take a look and find out about the variety of devices archivists use when hard at work.
The Archives Society of Alberta has an interactive tutorial which allows you to take a tour of a generic archive. The tour includes a research room, stacks area, processing room, preservation lab, and an archivist's office (including the bookshelf)!
A view of our collections storage area, showing boxes of university archives collections. Don't worry – this is only a small portion of our archival collections!
Yale University's Manuscripts and Archives have put together a very detailed online tutorial which helps researchers learn how to find primary resources and do research in an archive. They have tried to make the tutorial helpful to researchers using other repositories.
Ever wonder how to handle rare materials, especially rare books? The Folger Shakespeare Library has put together a wonderful video on YouTube giving you the details:
If you still have questions after checking out the resources highlighted above, please do not hesitate to visit us and ask!
When you come and visit, here's the view of our Reading Room which you will see. The Reading Room is where researchers look through our archival collections and rare books.

Can Mike Lee Save the Tea Party?
Or is he just a nicer version of Ted Cruz?
In its short history, the Tea Party has offered its own response to the president's State of the Union address with a colorful cast of characters: Rep. Michele Bachman's (R-Minn.) deer-in-the-headlights production in 2011 became rich fodder for late night comedians; she was followed in 2012 by the inimitable pizza CEO Herman Cain and last year by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who has since moved in a more mainstream direction as he gears up for a possible presidential run. In contrast, this year's Tea Party representative, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah)—a mild-mannered Mormon Eagle Scout whose father served in the Reagan administration—seems a sensible choice: The insurgent right appears to be developing some self-awareness that its message demands a better messenger.
That has become clear over the past several months. After more and more establishment Republicans criticized the Tea Party's eagle-eyed anti-Obamacare agenda for holding the rest of the GOP hostage, the Republican insurgents then saw their strategy backfire in the government shutdown last fall, with the Tea Party's unfavorability rating rising to 49 percent in October. The face of that insurgency and the march to a shutdown was the firebrand Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who, ever since riding into the upper body in the 2012 election, has bucked the leadership in both houses, memorably speaking for more than 21 hours on the Senate floor about the push to defund the Affordable Care Act.
Story Continued Below
Cruz's bomb-throwing has met a palpable backlash in the press and among the Republican Party establishment—and has handicapped his chances as a viable national candidate. "It's always the wacko birds on the right and the left that get the media megaphone," Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) famously said last year, referring to Cruz, among others. "I think it's important for Republican leaders around the country to speak out against him," said Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.). I'd venture that Cruz was probably considered for the response speech Tuesday night, though he appears to have been relegated to finding free media on the Sunday shows.
Enter Mike Lee, the low-key Utahan whose rhetorical style and demeanor are notably more mannered—a nicer version of Ted Cruz, perhaps. On all of the most pressing issues in Congress—budgetary policy, taxation, foreign relations (read: Benghazi) and the overall role of government—Lee has stood shoulder to shoulder with Cruz and the Tea Party, denouncing Obamacare, resisting a debt-ceiling increase, calling for a restrained foreign policy and forcing the government shutdown. Rhetorically, however, Lee presents a study in contrast. He has not jumped for sound-bite attention, and his name recognition is low (not to mention that he comes from a state wholly without the obvious electoral-vote pull of Cruz's Texas).

Words by Mahina: "I have always had an interest in taking photos. I take photos of people and things that draw my attention in an attempt to show people the way living makes me feel. To inspire them to live authentically, themselves. From the people and places I've experienced, to the way the tide is always changing with the moon, I am constantly being taught adaptation, love, and fear in all its forms. I love being able to capture a moment and putting my own spin on it so that it may resemble the feeling that being in that moment gave me. I am from one of the most beautiful, raw, crazy, indescribable chain of islands on earth and am so blessed to have a platform to convey and share my truth in photos and in writing. Everything I do is an ode to my love of life and all the people in mine who are continuous source of love, support and inspiration… and to me that is what my RVCA family is. Forever grateful."

Disclaimer: I also publish 3rd party material for Supers!, and know the author because of that. I did not get a comp copy of this, but purchased it to support a fellow publisher.
Flechette is an interesting her character. Her main power is the ability to user her nails as weapons. Not just to slash ala Wolverine's claws. She can also fire them at opponents like projectiles. She can also regenerate (and thus grow new nails to never run out of "ammo")
The character is a thief, and is best used in scenarios involving robbing something. I used the character in a demo of The Heist (an intro scenario also by Twin Flame) to bolster the villains in that adventure (and to even the odds with the heroes played in that adventure). She wasn't a major part of the battle, but kept one player tied up the majority of the fight (neither could get the advantage on the other, so they just kept trading blows for most of the fight). That worked out well as that player had to leave during the middle of the fight, so it gave a good reason why they didn't show up.
So, good character concept, interesting power. I think she makes a good opponent for street level heroes, and is also useful as added muscle for a group of villains working together.
I picked this up to use with The Heist, an intro adventure also by Twin Flame, which I ran for Free RPG Day.
I really like the character concept; She's not overly powerful, but the diversity of her abilities still makes her formidable. When I used the character in the scenario, they were effective in helping me move the adventure in the direction it needed to go to reach a satisfying conclusion for the players (by leading them to the main bad guy while bringing said villain an object Echo and other villains were hired to steal).
The character can create duplicates of herself, and when duplicates are about, they have some super strength and super speed, which makes them good opposition for a short time. The character used this to good effect in the scenario, as the heroes couldn't tell the duplicates apart from the original.
I honestly feel this is one of the better villains released for the game so far.
Disclaimer: I am a 3rd Party Publisher for Supers! material myself, and thus know the author from the Supers! forums. I was given a comp copy of this, as I had given the author some advice as they were putting this together.
I ran this adventure for Free RPG Day, only adding in 2 more villains Twin Flame released (Echo & Flechette from their Injustice for All series of villains) to compensate for having more heroes than the scenario suggests the adventure works best with.
The Heist is a fairly straightforward adventure that makes a great introductory scenario for anyone running Supers! for the first time. The villains have a precise goal, and their powers range from fairly standard to some nice power sets mechanic wise (to me anyway). The mastermind behind them is an interesting villain, and a diverse set of powers that makes him a challenge even for a small group of heroes. He was able to defend against four heroes easily in the demo I ran, which had them sweating for awhile (and forced them to get creative with their own powers to defeat him)
The artwork is good, and there are three maps provided. I didn't use them when I ran the adventure, but they are definitely handy (especially if you use standees/counters).
All in all, I found this to be a great intro product to use with players brand new to the system. I think it helps them get right into things, and works well when you have a shorter time limit to work with (I had a 2 hour slot to run the game, and we ran over by maybe 3 or 4 minutes)
This is a nice, diverse selection of stock art. Some pieces are better than others (I only found 3 pieces I felt were not on par with the others), but overall, the quality is very good. The Ozzy Longoria pieces stand out as the best ones (The cover image is one of his)
I had some issues extracting the files from the pdf, but after contacting the company, they were quick to email me a zip file with all the images. So add in excellent customer service.
This is a nice, diverse selection of stock art. Some pieces are better than others (I only found 2 pieces I felt were not on par with the others), but overall, the quality is very good. There's a few pieces by Brian Brinlee in this collection, and having worked with him myself, can attest that his work is good.
This product features some incredible art, and the majority of creatures are very unique. Designed to be ported into any game, the basic descriptions break down each creature's powers, as well as a scale for their physical/mental attributes. This is probably one of the most professional looking products I've ever bought here, and is a steal for it's price. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for new, interesting & unique creatures for use in their games.
Picking up where the last clip art pack left off, this features more characters associated with the Black Terror: His partner Tim, ally Red Ann, and some villains he fought.
I hope to use some of the villain pieces for a project down the road, so I definitely found this a worthwhile purchase.
Third in the PDSH clip art series, this one features The Black Terror (who was revived by Dynamite as part of Project Super Powers), as well as a few other characters from the Public Domain Supers release featuring that character for Supers!.
As with all the releases, the art tries to emulate the more simplistic art style used in Golden Age Comics, so you may find some pieces better than others. Still, a decent set of clip art, and relatively inexpensive.
The second in the PDSH Clip Art series, this pack features various Golden Age heroes and their sidekicks. Great for use as NPC's (hero or villain), especially if you want to make a one shot for a convention, etc.
The first in a series of clip art packages (the 13th was just released today), this is a great way to get art inexpensively. This first pack is free (others run at 0.99) You get both color and B&W images of various golden age characters featured in the Public Domain Supers books for the Supers! rpg.
You can use this clip art for personal use, or even for your own rpg products. I really like the art. It tries to emulate the Golden Age style of drawing, which was less polished than today. Some pieces could be better, but overall, I find the majority of art to be well done, and I hope to use some for some of my projects future.
A nice selection of time travel stories influenced by HG Wells classic. One tale even features his nameless time traveller. The stories are well written, and very enjoyable. If you're a fan of time travel fiction, I highly recommend this!
A nice short story set in the Eclipse Phase Universe. Not owning the game, I bought this to get a feel for the setting, and enjoyed it. Well written characters, and good action. A nice intro to the EP universe, and a good sci-fi story in general
Much improved over the original edition, BASH UE gives you the tools to run fast paced, comic book style super hero adventures. Rules are not too crunchy, but not too light either.
Includes a GM's section that covers running various genres, from pulp to cosmic level games.
well worth purchasing if you want an alternative to games like M&M/Champions
A great system for one shot/short term pulp fantasy gaming.
The 1PG system is highly adaptable, and fits this genre very well. While info on spell casting is limited, it fits with the genre (as most Sword and Sorcery characters didn't use magic themselves).
Taking Wushu, and adding in interesting rules for Horror-themed gaming, makes this a worthwhile addition to anyone's rpg collection.
The setting info, while sparse, is more than enough to get a game going. And the seeds for what happens to Roanoke are great fodder for games.
