General Surgical Risks
All surgical procedures have a certain amount of risk associated with them. Many risks are common to multiple types of surgery. For example, most surgeries have a risk of post-operative wound infection, or bleeding at the wound site.
Some types of surgery have a risk of thrombosis, or a blood clot in a vein. This risk is due to the fact that after surgery many patients must spend a significant amount of time sedentary while they are recovering.
Another general surgical risk is that of hemorrhage during the surgery itself. This can occur if the surgery is performed in a highly vascularized location, such as in the liver.
Neurosurgery is a type of surgery in which all of these risks can be present. Because the brain is involved, however, the risks can be much greater, and the damage itself can be much greater if one of these risk situations does occur.
Brain Surgery Post-Operative Infection
The risk of brain surgery post-operative infection is significantly increased if the patient has undergone previous brain surgery, if the patient had a pre-existing infection, if the surgery was conducted as an emergency treatment, if the surgery was of more than four hours’ duration, if the patient is on a ventilator before or after surgery, if a cerebral spinal fluid leak occurs, and if the patient is catheterized.
People who are at risk of post-operative infection due to one or more risk factors are generally given prophylactic antibiotics to reduce the chance than an infection will develop. Prophylactic antibiotics can significantly reduce the risk of meningitis and deep wound infections such as abscesses.
A thromboembolism is a blood clot that develops in a vein or blood vessel and then breaks free from its original location. When this occurs, the clot travels through the vein or vessel and can eventually partially or fully block another vein or vessel. If a blood clot develops in the brain and becomes a thromboembolism, a potentially serious event such as a stroke might occur. The risks of this occurring can be reduced with blood thinning medications; however the use of such medications increases the risk of uncontrolled bleeding, therefore the risks must be carefully balanced.
Swelling and Fluid Retention
The brain is a delicate organ, and the skull is a hard and unyielding bone formation. Because of this, serious problems can occur if the brain swells excessively after surgery, or if post-surgery complications cause the retention of a large amount of fluid in the skull.
Brain swelling and fluid retention are potentially serious problems because they can cause an intense amount of pressure in the cranium, and the skull is too rigid to allow room for expansion. This means that expansion can only occur in the opposite direction, that is, into the brain. When this sort of pressure is put on the brain, events such as seizures can occur.

Krishen Jit Astro Fund 2010 Call for Applications (Closing date 31st August 2010)
2010 Call for Applications
The Krishen Jit ASTRO Fund has been created by ASTRO to encourage and support creative work in Malaysia. One of the main objectives of Krishen’s pioneering work was celebrating original Malaysian creativity in as varied and alternative ways as possible in all the areas of the arts.
His groundbreaking theatre practice straddled and brought together a wide range of contrasting spheres, producing projects that were inter-disciplinary, multi-cultural, multi-lingual and experimental. Negotiating between academia and practice, tradition and contemporary pop culture, Hollywood and Bollywood, the mainstream and the marginalized, Krishen’s work articulated a Malaysian identity that was ever evolving and encouraged practitioners and audiences to reflect on their lives and societies.
This is the spirit of the Krishen Jit ASTRO Fund.

Business Insider reported that DoorDash is ending its years-long partnership with Walmart of delivering groceries and other products from stores to customers, people close to the matter said.
According to Business Insider, one person close to the situation who requested anonymity because the matter is confidential said DoorDash decided to stop working with the retail giant “as it was not longer mutually beneficial” and to “focus on its long-term customer relationships.” Their identity is known to Insider.
DoorDash sent Walmart a letter to terminate their partnership earlier this month, and gave a 30 day notice, which makes the termination effective in September, the person said.
Walmart posted the following in its Walmart Offers website: Walmart Inc. and DoorDash Inc. are ending their four-year delivery partnership. “We have agreed to part ways,” Walmart said in an email Friday. “We’d like to thank DoorDash for their partnership and support of our customers the past several years.”
A DoorDash spokesperson told TechCrunch in an email: “We’d like to thank Walmart for their partnership and are looking forward to continuing to build and provide support for merchants in the years ahead with our leading Marketplace and Platform offerings.”
What went wrong between DoorDash and Walmart? Business Insider wrote that Walmart is acquiring Delivery Drivers, Inc., the gig-labor management company behind Walmart’s Spark network for an undisclosed amount, a Walmart spokesperson confirmed to Insider.
According to Business Insider, DDI acquisition is the latest of several moves by Walmart to bring more of its logistics network in-house, including acquiring vendor management software firm Volt Systems in early August, last-mile peer-to-peer delivery app JoyRun in 2020, and same-day delivery startup Parcel in 2017.
Business Insider also wrote that The DDI acquisition has been in the works for months and is intended to simplify the driver experience with a single point of contact, according to a DDI spokesperson.
Earlier this month, TechCrunch reported that DoorDash has teamed up with Facebook Marketplace “to make that awkward exchange of items with a stranger a bit easier”. The company said DoorDash Drive, its business-to-business service that provides drivers to merchants through their own website or app, is now in the early stages of testing a service that will allow DoorDash drivers to pick up and drop off Facebook Marketplace items to customers.
In short, it appears that Walmart and DoorDash initially were good partners for each other. As time went by, each company decided to build itself up in an effort to move away from that partnership. Sometimes, things just don’t work out.

Over the last few years there has been a steady increase in the number of prescriptions dispensed in primary care for intermediate and long-acting insulin analogues and a reduction in prescriptions for biphasic isophane insulin. For example, in England, the volume of intermediate and long-acting insulin analogues in general practice has risen from approximately 650,000 prescriptions per quarter in 2007 to over 850,000 per quarter in 2012.1 ▼Insulin degludec (Tresiba, Novo Nordisk) is a new long acting basal insulin analogue for the management of diabetes mellitus in adults.2 Two strengths of insulin degludec (100 units/mL and 200 units/mL) were launched in the UK in February 2013. Here we discuss evidence for the effectiveness and safety of insulin degludec.

La Macarena Pupuseria & Latin Café
8120 Hampson Street
New Orleans, LA
Pupusas, a Colombian corn patty stuffed with meat or cheese fillings, are a rather new quantity to me. I first sampled a pupusa nearly a year ago, the very day I returned from four months in India, arrived in the gleaming terminals of San Francisco International Airport. We picked up our car and drove through the Mission to get something to eat, and I remember being struck by how few people were around - and I also remember being extremely happy to be somewhere where such as thing as Latino culture existed, back in a land that actually had Mexican food and Colombian food and everything in between. We stopped in at one of the neighborhood's many pupuserias and enjoyed a cheese and beef pupusa: as a life-time corn cake lover, I thought it was delicious. (I enjoyed the Colombian style garlic chicken just as much.)
In any case, I was happy when La Macarena opened up: what a convenient way to learn a little more about Central and South American cuisine. The owners also made an excellent tactical choice in serving corn-and-cheese filled concotions very close to two major universities. Well played.
These sun dried tomato and spinach pupusas were pretty tasty, although rather shrimpy compared to the specimens I've encountered in California. They're hand-made and griddled to order here, which means an order can take a while out. The melty texture and nice cornmeal flavor make a little extra time worth it. I also like the clear Colombian (?) slaw and spicy, slightly salty salsa served alongside.
This salad came with pulled beef brisket and plenty of slaw, along with olives, romaine hearts, and a variety of mixed vegetables. The brisket was definitely tasty and meaty, and had been cooked just long enough to fall apart but before toughness set in. I used the Colombian salsa instead of the provided garlic dressing and rather regretted my decision: things got pretty salty by the time I finished this not-inconsiderably sized beast. Still will order again.
The menu features a variety of entrees as well as pupusas: the garlic shrimp are humongo and looked very tasty indeed. This is a family run place and it shows, as service can be a bit uneven (if earnest) and food takes a healthy amount of time to come out. Brunch is offered on weekends with some interesting looking egg dishes. BE FOREWARNED: this place is cash only. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Tuscaloosa comes from Philip Harder, and will star The 100‘s Devon Bostick and Stranger Things‘s Natalia Dyer.
It’s a big week for Stranger Things fans. Not only has the second season just dropped on Netflix (and Twitter is already rampant with spoilers, beware), but Natalia Dyer (Nancy) has been cast in a promising-sounding new movie!
Via Deadline, we’ve learned that she’ll star opposite The 100 alum Devon Bostick in Tuscaloosa, a 1970s indie drama based on the W. Glasgow Phillips book of the same name.
Tuscaloosa follows Bostick’s character Billy Mitchell, who works as a groundskeeper at his father’s mental asylum. When Billy falls in love with one of his father’s patients, played by Dyer, he “sets in motion a romance that could end in tragedy for both of them.”
The movie is written and directed by Philip Harder, and also stars The Man in the High Castle‘s Tate Donovan.
Both Stranger Things and The 100 are currently streaming on Netflix. Devon Bostick can also be seen in Bong Joon-Ho’s critically acclaimed Okja, which is likewise available on the streaming platform.
Carnival Row is fantasy that fucks.
Will Byers’s story line in Stranger Things season 3 reminded me exactly why I love this show so much.
Ahead of the closing of Puffs, Hypable interviewed the four remaining members of the original cast, who will have been with Puffs from its humble beginnings to the very end: Zac Moon (Wayne Hopkins), Andy Miller (Leanne), Stephen Stout (Ernie Mac, and a producer on the show), and Madeleine Bundy (Susie Bones/Harry Potter, and the designer of the show).
The gravity of the Last of Us gay representation cannot be overstated, as it brings LGBTQ+ people to the frontlines of mainstream action/adventure video games for the first time.

TL;DR - We had our head in New England for a long time. Much to learn. Then, we lifted our sights to New France as they quibbled quite a bit with the English colonies. And, of course, being a westerner (the huge heart of America north), New Spain came forward. So, crossings is a theme that we will continue. And, how about three weeks from San Antonio TX to El Paso TX? In a stage coach? And, then, heading to San Diego CA partly through the area hosting El Camino del Diablo. Lots to discuss. BTW, this route was traveled one hundred and more years prior to the pre-Civil War period.
This post looks at a couple of southern routes. One was for mail and has been described quite thoroughly. The other was a stage coach route carrying easterners to the So Cal coast and points in-between. The motivation is to fill in a more full picture of the U.S. as we get ourselves out of the New England bias.
Earlier, we wrote of the first recorded cross-continental trek. Turns out that it was across lower Canada where the individual went from Montreal to British Columbia. The time? 1793. This is not long after the Revolution and before Clark and Lewis. Now, the context of this was western expansion where we realized that we had to include New Spain and New France into our work to be thorough. As mentioned in earlier posts, people went west almost immediately both in northern and southern New England. Up in the north, the Northwest Territory was a limit at one time. Today, this area is noted as being the mid-west. A lot of the western movement went by water. We are looking at the various ways that the crossing was done by land which was difficult.
However, there were efforts that were quite successful. The Santa Fe and the Oregon Trails are good examples. But, we wanted to look at the lower areas of the country. As well, we always want to note routes that were known to American Indians. An example of that might be El Camino del Diablo. There are other old trails down in that area.
As we look around, we try to establish a New England connection. We found one with George Henry Giddings. Actually, we found several through the collateral families. But, George and his brothers went from the TX area from PA, however they are descendant of the Giddings family from Ipswich MA. However, the family was successful in Texas, too (Giddings Family papers).
- San Antonio-San Diego Mail Line -- This route took over a month using mules and wagons. This graphic shows some of the places that the line went through using modern roadways. Note the distance of over 1300 miles with a time of 22 hours where a lot of it is the U.S. Interstate system.
03/24/2021 -- Add the TL;DR.
06/01/2021 -- Need to add this image with regard to the schedule of the Butterfield-Overland run. Notice that the animals were run at the "highest speed" supposedly without injury. There is more detail about the intermediate legs of the journey.
Given that, here is Mark Twain's description of his jaunt on the northern route. It was such a bother that he delayed his return trip.

- US History to 1877
He specializes in the history of American community formation in the eighteenth century. His first book was Mammon and Manon in Early New Orleans: The First Slave Society in the Deep South, 1718-1819. It describes the development of New Orleans Parish over its first century under French, Spanish, and finally American republican administration. It encompasses the entwined histories of the black slave majority and the various groups of free people, and seeks to explain how this town became the most distinctive city in the United States.
In his new work, "To Intermix With Our White Brothers": Indian 'Mixed Bloods' in the United States from Earliest Times to the Removals of the 1830s, the argument is that Indians of mixed ancestry identified with their Native American tribes of birth or adoption, although most were also willing to mix freely with whites. Some of them provided tribal leadership in resisting the federal policy of Indian removal, which became law in 1830, a law white leaders intended, in part, to prevent more racial mixture of the kind the mixed bloods represented.
Professor Ingersoll is currently researching a work on New England towns during the American Revolution.
Ingersoll has published articles in William and Mary Quarterly, Law and History Review, and other journals.
He teaches specialized courses on African Americans, Early American Radicalism, the American Revolution, and the Civil War.

The debate over Critical Race Theory: A denial of America’s past/present
“Critical race theory didn’t make Black people critical of white supremacy, racism did. Our ability to create theories and write books — on critical theory or any subject — is a reflection of our rising power in this country. Critical race theorists reflect the analytic reasoning of the enslaved, those subjected to housing and employment discrimination, and basically any person who can see how inequitably privileges and burdens are distributed in the country.”
— Andre Perry, Brookings Institution
It’s fair to say that racism exists in the United States — as a byproduct of slavery, the free system of labor that relied on the blood, sweat, and tears of enslaved Black people, and Jim Crow laws at the federal, state, and local levels (housing, employment, criminal justice, education, and other facets of life) that legalized segregation — introducing “separate but equal” to Black and white Americans.
America’s legacy of slavery and segregationist and anti-black policies, old and new, can be examined via the lens of Critical Race Theory (CRT), an academic and legal concept, that originated in the 1970s/1980s. CRT maintains that racism is part of society and embedded in systems, institutions, and policies, which ultimately replicate racial inequality. Thus, the concept suggests that systemic racism is real — a daunting reality that many Black people throughout different walks of life can attest to. In recent weeks, CRT has become a polarizing topic as conservative lawmakers (at all levels of government, including school officials) are debating its importance and value — proposing new laws and legislation to ban the concept from classroom curriculums.
At the epicenter of the debate is CRT’s portrayal of the U.S. as a racist country, which fails to resonate with conservative lawmakers, their supporters, many parents, and numerous conservative organizations that oppose CRT. Critics believe the theory teaches children to hate one another based on race and hate their country. They describe the concept as divisive — positioning Black people against white people, or vice versa.
On the other hand, CRT supporters say the effort to eliminate/minimize CRT — the legacy of slavery, segregation, and second-class citizenship for Black people — is a ploy to cover up America’s past (hiding or whitewashing history). Supporters believe attacks on the theory are an effort to excuse the U.S. from acknowledging/reckoning with its racialized past/present.
CRT looks at how racism intersects with inequality, segregation, unfair banking/lending practices, unfair labor practices, access to education, access to technology (digital equity and access), white privilege, and other issues that impact Black Americans.
As the debate continues in states and cities across the nation, it’s fair to assume that criticism of CRT has emerged by way of conservative backlash against America’s social justice movement, which is grounded in Black Lives Matter, the popularity of “woke” culture among Black people, and highly-publicized deaths of several Black Americans, such as Breonna Taylor (Kentucky), George Floyd (Minnesota), Daunte Wright (Minnesota), Andrew Brown Jr. (North Carolina), and others. Ironically, opposition to CRT has gained momentum after conservatives questioned the legitimacy/outcome of the 2020 Presidential election and supported the introduction/passage of new voting laws in various states across the U.S.
As people around the nation watch/observe and voice their thoughts/opinions about CRT, I’ve come to the conclusion that critics are in denial that today’s systemic inequities and injustices are manifested in America’s history — one that for decades allowed tragedies such as the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre (Black Wall Street) and celebrations such as Juneteenth, which is Saturday, June 19, to be untold and omitted from mainstream history. No doubt, this debate about CRT demonstrates the importance of understanding history (the facts about racism in the U.S.) and talking about the relevance of the past — in the context of the present.

City gears up for electric car initiatives with treasure hunt
An Oxford resident walked away from Oxford Castle £750 better off this Tuesday thanks to a competition organised by the Go Ultra Low campaign, designed to raise awareness of the benefits of switching to an electric vehicle. Morgane de Salvage, 29, tracked down the money – the amount drivers typically save on fuel every year by switching – to Oxford Castle after following a series of clues posted on Facebook.
She said: “I’m amazed to have won the money! £750 is a huge saving to make – I didn’t realise electric cars could have such a big impact. I just saw the competition on Facebook and thought I’d come down and give it a shot.”
Speaking to the Oxford Student, Councillor John Tanner, Board Member for a Clean and Green Oxford, detailed the importance of the initiative for the city, saying: “There is strong support in Oxford for a low-carbon future so Go-Ultra is an opportunity we don’t want to miss. We all need to move away from non-renewable fuels to environmentally friendly transport as quickly as possible.”
The competition followed the announcement of an £800,000 grant from the Office for Low Emission Vehicles as part of its Go Ultra Low campaign, a joint venture between local government and vehicle manufacturers.
Cllr Tanner explained plans for the funding: “The Government funding Oxford City Council has will be used to find practical solutions for how residents in terraced housing and flats can charge their electric cars. We will look at charging points on the street, running wires across the pavement and car-park electric charging, to see which works best.”
In total, at least 6 types of charger are set to be trialled across 30 locations in the city, ranging from low-tech ‘cable-gullies’ laid into the pavement, to high-tech smart lampposts which can communicate with the vehicle and the rest of the charging network. Ultimately, the plan is to install 100 charging points across the city.
The city council is attempting to take the lead as far as the vehicles themselves are concerned, as Jennifer Carr, Sustainability Partnerships and Engagement Officer, described: “In terms of the city council’s experiences with electric cars, we have a number of these in our fleet, including Nissan LEAFs and Citroen C0s. We also have hybrid electric vans, one hybrid car and six electric bikes too!”
As for personal use, Cllr Tanner said: “I still have an old fashioned petrol car but I’d go electric next time. Meanwhile I walk, cycle and use hybrid-buses for most trips in Oxford, and usually take the train for longer journeys.”
Currently, only 1% of new cars sold are electric. According to a 2016 report by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, however, electric cars will be cheaper to own than petrol cars by 2022, thanks largely to falling costs in Lithium-ion batteries. Combined with improvements to charging infrastructure, this may help to persuade the 56% of people who, according to the Public Attitudes to Electric Vehicles Survey 2015, said they hadn’t considered buying an electric car.
In the meantime, Go Ultra Low hopes that free parking in many locations, government grants of up to £4,500 and exemption from Vehicle Excise Duty will persuade motorists to make the switch.

Busy week on tables

Star Paving Services North Norfolk Table Tennis League
A busy week for Crosscourters' Alan Rutledge, Anne Armitage and Maureen Chapman saw them appear in both semi-finals of the Handicap Cups and a league match.
The Handicap Doubles saw them host the Beta trio of Chris Johnson, Matt Robinson and Edna Stone for a place in the final, with the handicaps giving Crosscourts starts ranging from four to seven.
The second battle gave the hosts momentum as Armitage and Chapman (+6) beat Robinson and Stone 21-12 11-21 21-20 with a lucky net on the final sudden-death point which helped them to a 2-0 lead. And this was soon 4-0 as, although the Betas put up a good fight, the Crosscourts failed to drop another set.
Johnson and Robinson fought back to take a point for Beta in straight, but Rutledge and Armitage (+4) sealed the win with a 21-19 21-10 win over Robinson and Stone.
Meanwhile, Crosscourts also had home advantage for the singles semi-final against Seal's Ray Amo, Ron Millet and Rod Hill.

Amo won a close opener against Rutledge (+6) 19-21 21-18 21-15, before Millet defeated Chapman (+5) in two. The third battle saw Armitage start with a single point advantage over Hill and the Sea won 19-21 21-18 21-16.
The experience of Amo helped him to a win over Chapman (+11) as he took both sets 21-17 and Hill (+6) booked the Seals' place in the final against Delta with a 21-18 21-19 victory which closed out the match 5-0.
The two teams met again in the second division, with Crosscourts reduced to a two-person team and John Barron and Mike Toye joining Hill in the Seals line-up. Rutledge took a brace including a win that went the distance against Barron, but he fell in five to Toye - a quirk of the Seals' 5-11 11-6 11-9 6-11 11-7 win being that both players won 44 points.
Toye won a close game with a 12-10 11-9 8-11 11-4 victory over Chapman but elsewhere it was straight sets as Seals won 8-2.
The week's other second division battle saw Delta's Jamie Carter, Tom Baldock-Yaxley and John Vaughan host the Aces team of Clive Smith, Eric Dolden and Geoff Long.
Some good shots saw Carter make a comeback from two down to defeat Long 12-10 in the fifth. Smith played a canny game and kept Baldock-Yaxley under pressure so that his forehand could not be released as he won in three. And he took a brace with a win in four over Carter, while superb hitting saw Baldock-Yaxley go on to also take a brace as he won his remaining games in straight.
Vaughan took a maximum, while Dolden's backhand drives were the shots of the week as he picked up a single in three against Carter.
The doubles saw an 8-11 11-4 13-11 8-11 11-7 win for Smith and Dolden over Carter and Baldock-Yaxley, but it was the Deltas who won the match 6-4.
The first division saw Dolphin's Scott Wallace joined by Shark's Phil Baker and Nigel Hayward-Surry (who were both playing up) as they hosted Sidewinders John Paul, Peter Ward and Paul Warner.
A terrific attacking game saw Ward claw his way back to defeat Wallace
7-11 6-11 11-9 14-12 11-6.
Baker and Hayward-Surry both defeated Ward in three and both also took a set from Paul, but the defending North Norfolk champion extended his winning streak to 112 singles matches as he went into this year's Championships (full report on that event next week).
The rest of the games were won in straight as Sidewinders won 8-2.
A Backhanders duo of Teucer Wilson and Rod Goffin hosted the Cobras, who weren't able to extend on the three points they received from the walkovers.
James Baldock-Yaxley recovered from being thumped 11-0 11-5 11-3 to be involved in the game of the night, but he went down to Goffin who defeated him 11-9 11-5 2-11 7-11 11-7.
Players of the Week: Paul Warner, Tom Baldock-Yaxley, Matt Robinson, Mike Toye and Alan Rutledge.
Handicap Singles Cup semi-final: Crosscourts 0, Seals 5.
Handicap Doubles Cup semi-final: Crosscourts 5, Beta 1.

Most Underrated Elvis Performances?
I was just listening to a couple of older Elvis CD's (ELVIS: BACK IN MEMPHIS and FROM ELVIS IN MEMPHIS) and while listening to these CD's, I was simply amazed at the number of songs contained within these 2 CD's that are very underrated performances by Elvis, in my opinion.
So, I thought I would open up a thread to ask everyone's opinions on which Elvis songs they thought were underrated performances throughout his career!
In my opinion, as I listened to the aforementioned CD's BACK IN MEMPHIS and FROM ELVIS IN MEMPHIS, I really found 4 songs which I thought were truly underrated:
* INHERIT THE WIND
* THIS IS THE STORY
* TRUE LOVE TRAVELS ON A GRAVEL ROAD
* A LITTLE BIT OF GREEN
I also have to say that I feel that Elvis' performance of IT'S EASY FOR YOU from the Jungle Room Sessions is also one of, if not THE most underrated performances of Elvis career!
I am quite interested to see what other songs everyone thinks are underrated! (h)

About Thurgood Marshall (1908-1993)
Early Life of Justice Marshall
Born in Baltimore, Maryland on July 2, 1908, Thurgood Marshall was the great-grandson of a slave. His father, William Marshall, instilled in him an appreciation for the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law. After completing high school in 1925, Thurgood followed his brother, William Aubrey Marshall, at the historically black Lincoln University in Oxford, Pennsylvania. His schoolmates at Lincoln included a distinguished group of future Black leaders such as the poet and author Langston Hughes, and the future President of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah.
Thurgood was accepted at the Howard University Law School, under the immediate influence of the dynamic new Dean, Charles Hamilton Houston. Paramount in Houston's outlook was the need to overturn the 1896 Supreme Court ruling, Plessy v. Ferguson which established the legal doctrine called, "separate but equal."
Marshall's first major court case came in 1935 when he successfully sued the University of Maryland to admit a young African American Amherst University graduate named Donald Gaines Murray. Applauding Marshall's victory, author H.L. Mencken wrote that the decision of denial by the University of Maryland Law School was "brutal and absurd," and they should not object to the "presence among them of a self-respecting and ambitious young Afro-American well prepared for his studies by four years of hard work in a class A college."
Thurgood Marshall followed his Howard University mentor, Charles Hamilton Houston to New York and later became Chief Counsel for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people (NAACP). Mr. Marshall was asked by the United Nations and the United Kingdom to help draft the constitutions of the emerging African nation of Kenya.
After amassing an impressive record of Supreme Court challenges to state-sponsored discrimination, including the landmark Brown v. Board decision 1954, President John F. Kennedy appointed Thurgood Marshall to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Marshall wrote over 100 decisions including support for the rights of immigrants, limiting government intrusion in cases involving illegal search and seizure, double jeopardy, and right to privacy issues. Biographers Michael Davis and Hunter Clark note that, "none of his (Marshall's) 98 majority decisions was ever reversed by the Supreme Court."
In our own region of Southern California, Thurgood Marshall had impact on Mendez v. Westminster concerning the desegregation of Westminster School District in Orange County for Mexican American children. Without the Mendez case in the 9th circuit, Brown v. Board may never have been argued, or decided, until a decade or later. However, Marshall had no involvement with the case at the trial level. When the case was before the United States Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, the NAACP, the ACLU, and other organizations submitted friends of the court briefs. Marshall at that time was the lead attorney for the NAACP. He undoubtedly approved the NAACP brief and likely played a major role in its drafting. Mendez was also cited in the briefs filed in the five cases that produced the 1954 Brown v Board of Education decision. Instead, it laid the groundwork for the Brown appeals.
In 1965 President Lyndon Johnson appointed Judge Marshall to the office of U.S. Solicitor General. Before his subsequent nomination to the United States Supreme Court in 1967, Thurgood Marshall won 14 of the 19 cases on behalf of the government. Until his retirement, Justice Marshall established a record for supporting the voiceless American. He developed a profound sensitivity to injustice by way of the crucible of racial discrimination in this country.
As an Associate Supreme Court Justice, Thurgood Marshall left a legacy that expands that early sensitivity to include all of America's voiceless. Justice Marshall died on January 24, 1993. The first official visit to our college by a member of the Marshall family was in May 2011 when Thurgood Marshall’s son, John Marshall gave a keynote address at the annual Scholar and Citizen Reception.

Is all the hype, attention, and drama surrounding Tim Tebow’s three-year NFL career finally over?
In the most telling sign to date, the quarterback’s camp privately told ESPN’s David Fleming they believe his NFL career is done.
And Fleming writes that the 2007 Heisman Trophy award winner’s obsessive media base is at least partly to blame.
“It's nearly impossible to find a teammate who will say anything bad about Tebow as a person—or a scout who will say anything good about him as a player,” the ESPN reporter writes. “But the sports masses mostly side with the NFL personnel people. It's embarrassing and exhausting to discuss him, which makes it official: Tim Tebow has jumped the shark.”
In a later excerpt from Fleming’s column, well-respected former NFL coach Tony Dungy broke down Tebow’s situation from the standpoint of an organization’s front office.
"There's no going halfway with Tebow anymore," Dungy said. "You either gotta sell out and give him the keys to your team or stay away. Because, unfortunately, there's too much attention for him to be a regular, developing backup like everyone else."
The New York Jets learned that last season, after trading for Tebow in an attempt to either generate media headlines or light a fire under starting quarterback Mark Sanchez. Overall, the headlines were too distracting for the Jets and Tebow managed a measly 39 passing yards all season.
And despite a fairly successful 2011 season in which he led the Denver Broncos on an improbable late season run – one that culminated with an overtime win against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round of the playoffs – most scouts had already made up their minds on the quarterback before “Tebowmania” officially took over.
"He's not a quarterback. When you look at his run two years ago, when you watch the tape and break it down, he wasn't really doing anything that impressive,” a scout said. “He's a tough guy, a great leader, a great person. But he isn't a good enough quarterback to have all the distractions that come with him."
If Tebow’s name never showed up on an NFL roster again, the former Florida Gator would finish his NFL career with 35 games of action, just over 2,400 yards passing on a 47.9 completion percentage, 17 touchdown passes and nine interceptions.
He has also rushed for just under 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns.

MIAMI! CAN YOU GET IT UP!? LIVE EVENT SUNDAY
Press Release: For Immediate distribution
Cuba’s best known adult export Angelina Castro (http://www.twitter.com/Angelinacastrox & http://www.AngelinaCastroLive.com) is proud to announce that she is kicking off her new hit adult Craigslist reality series – ”Miami – Can You Get it Up?” – with a two hour special live event on Sunday, May 26 at 2pm est (7gmt). Castro is hand picking new male talent from a cast of porn wannabes who answered a Craigslist advertisement she placed (http://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/tlg/3747742186.html). The new series has already attracted significant Spanish mainstream attention (Univision Radio and Telemundo TV Show “Al Rojo Vivo” interviewed Castro extensively http://on-msn.com/10bzODm). Castro was also interviewed by Playboy Radio.
The new reality show gives Craigslist applicants a shot at adult glory and the chance to personally shoot an adult scene with Castro. The live event will be streamed exclusively at Castro’s Official Site and at Vicky Vette’s VNALive.com network. Details of the event can be seen at http://www.MiamiCanYouGetitUp.com.
Angelina Castro is quoted as saying: “We decided one of best tests of new talent is to broadcast live. If you can’t get it up with a bunch of people watching, there’s no way you can be in porn. Just like American Idol, we have a panel of judges selecting the next ”big thing”. Our judges will be tougher than Simon Cowell… in porn you gotta have a thick skin. People love reality porn… this is going to be as real as it gets.”
Angelina Castro is a frequent guest on mainstream Spanish media outlets. Last year, Castro caused a furor after an appearance on Radio Marti – a radio station funded by tax dollars from the United States of America to highlight the virtues of democracy & free market economics to Cuba. She also made worldwide headlines as part of the #TeamBJ twitter sensation with Sara Jay – pledging to give followers oral sex if the Miami Heat won the NBA title. Angelina Castro was named one of XBIZ’s Top 100 Newsmakers in 2011. Castro is part of Vicky Vette’s VNA Girls Network which features stars such as Julia Ann, Nikki Benz, Puma Swede and Sara Jay.

When you speak of the West or Western culture, keep in mind that Greece was where that culture was born. While archaeological ruins permeate this nation on the southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula and encompassing islands throughout the surrounding seas, the evidence of antiquity isn’t the only reason why Greece is one of the most favored travel destinations throughout the world. Sandy beaches interspersed with rocky coasts, a mountainous inland, the quintessential Mediterranean climate (think southern California, if you’ve never been abroad), and a laid back, friendly population make Greece a fabulous locale for adventure, relaxation, or a contemplation of a glorious past.
Getting in, out, and about Greece
Like most of the rest of Europe, Greece is a member of the Schengen Agreement. For US travelers, this means that with a mere passport that has at least three months continued validity on it, you can travel anywhere in the Schengen area, including Greece, for up to 90 days within a 180 day period.
If you are a US citizen who was born in Macedonia, however, you may face additional requirements for getting out, and you should consult the US State Department’s website for additional information: http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/english/country/greece.html. One possible consequence is that if you are male, you may be pressed into the country’s mandatory military service, so check with the State Department and plan accordingly.
Like most of the rest of Europe, you do not need any special vaccinations for your travel, although some travelers will get vaccinated for Hepatitis A and B, and for rabies. In the case of the latter, it is uncommon for dogs to be carriers, and this is largely a precaution against exposure to bats. Check with your local physician about your travel plans to see if any of these vaccinations would be appropriate for you.
While there are no currency requirements, you may be asked to furnish proof of a return ticket or an onward travel destination, as well as enough money to get by in the country. In addition to this, you should be aware that unlike in the US, it is illegal to carry mace or pepper spray. Drug laws are rigidly enforced in Greece, and the society is sufficiently anti-drug oriented that you may risk being reported to the police by an average citizen if caught. Penalties for possession of even the smallest amounts can lead to long term incarceration, so don’t take any chances.
Another practice that US travelers should remain wary of is the purchase of black market goods, which are illegal. Even though in some places in the larger cities, knockoffs and pirated goods are sold along the street, possession of these is against both Greek and US laws and potentially subject to prosecution.
Greece is a relatively safe country with very few instances of violent crime. However, since it is one of the southernmost entries into Europe, it has been prone to occasional terroristic attacks. What is more common are public demonstrations and marches, which happen frequently, particularly around the universities. While these are mostly peaceful, they can sometimes get out of hand, and you are advised to steer clear of them.
Another possible circumstance of violent crime perpetrated towards tourists stems from concerns over illegal immigration. Travelers of African, Asian, Hispanic, or Middle Eastern descent have been targeted in the past. These instances are relatively rare, however. Greece is a safe place to travel generally, and the biggest instances of crime against tourists tend to be characteristic of tourism everywhere: pickpockets and petty theft. Always be aware of your surroundings and avoid attracting undue attention by wearing expensive jewelry or flashing large amounts of money.
The traveler’s tongue
Greek is the official language in Greece, and it’s a beautiful one at that. While learning even the smallest amount of Greek is not necessary for US travelers, since English is widely spoken throughout, except in the most rural and off the beaten path of islands and locales, it is a pleasant sounding tongue and worth learning a few words and phrases (with which you can later impress your friends).
Perhaps the biggest difficulty with Greek is the fact that it uses a different alphabet. Granted it is the alphabet from which our own, Latin-based alphabet derives (as well as the Cyrillic alphabet of Russian and other Slavic languages) it can be confusing because some letters that look the same as ours have a different Greek equivalent. For example the letter P in English looks just like the Greek equivalent of the letter R. Most signs include a Latin alphabet version beneath the Greek words, but again this is less common in the more rural areas.
Money matters in Greece
Although Greece was once a fairly inexpensive place to travel to, since it joined the European Union in 2002, that has not remained the case. While costs may at times be less than what you find around the rest of Europe, you should be aware that you often get what you pay for. Hotels for instance tend to be on the small side, with limited closet space, barely working televisions, and rustic shower and bath accommodations. To enjoy a reasonable stay at a hotel, expect to spend around $100-200 a night for a room.
You may find better options than conventional hotels, however. While hostels may be a viable option for the budget traveler, keep in mind that these tend to be rather Spartan (no pun intended). One alternative to both the rough living provided by a hostel and the somewhat cramped and underserving nature of even midrange hotels is family-run pensions. With these you get all the personalized hospitality of Greeks who have set themselves up to host travelers, and at comparatively low prices.
Another option is a self-catering accommodation. Most hotels have these attached to them. Rather than providing meals and a daily room cleaning service, self-catering rooms and suites provide a refrigerator and stove (usually a two-burner hot plate), as well as cleaning service that may show up a couple of times a week. You can even budget on your food expenses by shopping at grocery stores and preparing your own meals rather than eating out at expensive restaurants.
If you have the money to spend, renting a villa is another option. Villas for rent are often available near popular beaches. While this arrangement works great for both comfort and privacy, it tends to be pricey.
Perhaps the most expensive aspect of travel in Greece is the price of getting around from island to island. While renting a car can provide you with freedom to explore an individual island on your own terms, it does limit you to ferries that will transport automobiles. Furthermore, the ferry schedules are notoriously inconsistent. This is not a result of incompetence so much as changing weather conditions, which dictate the availability of ferries, usually not at the behest of a ferry company so much as the government authority that regulates the ferries. This problem comes up more often when you travel to Greece outside of the high tourist season, which runs from late June through August.
Conversely, during the heavy tourist months, ferry travel should be booked in advance since they fill up rapidly. The most important thing is not to put yourself in a position where you have to catch a plane on another island or the mainland, and you may not be able to get a ferry to your destination for a few days or a week. A relative degree of planning is important to avoid making your vacation to Greece a disastrous experience.
Tipping in Greece follows along with most of Europe. Tipping the excess change to taxi drivers and restaurant servers is common and appreciated. For exceptional service, a US-style tip is not inappropriate. Hotel porters, ferry stewards, and the cleaning crew at hotels are commonly tipped about €1-3.
While haggling is a common feature of travelers seeking bargains elsewhere, in Greece it’s actually considered highly insulting. Like elsewhere in Europe, much of what you buy in Greece has a value added tax attached to it. US shoppers can get this refunded by filling out appropriate forms at the point of purchase and heading to a designated office in the airport after you have gone through customs. Look for shops that advertise “tax-free” because these will be more set up to cater to your tax refund needs.
The Greek island of Mykonos, while an extremely popular tourist destination, also bears the distinction of being an expensive tourist trap, with drinks coming in at over $10 USD and $40 USD meals being the norm. Single male travelers should also watch out for a scam that works with a local person approaching you with a suggestion about a good bar in town. After you arrive, women will surround you and purchase drinks on your tab. Afterwards, when you are handed a bill that approaches the astronomical, tough looking men will keep you from leaving until you settle up a bill that probably includes vastly inflated prices.
If you see nothing else …
While the highlights of a Greek vacation are too numerous and varied to enumerate here, and are island specific as well, one must-see experience is the annual Hellenic Festival in Athens, which is held in the summer. Productions of ancient Greek dramas and tragedies are performed. When you consider that the entire nature of Western storytelling is derived from Greek theater, from novels to movies, it’s easy to understand why this should be on your bucket-list for a Greek vacation. Greece also abounds in adventure travel, water sports, and explorations of its rich history. Plan your vacation now and you will have no dearth of experiences to enjoy.

A 70-year-old British former financial chief is fighting extradition to Switzerland on a charge of alleged criminal defamation that he fears is revenge for him blowing the whistle on a multi-million pound currency scandal.
Trevor Kitchen, who helped expose the scandal in Switzerland a decade ago, faces up to three years in jail if the Swiss request to extradite him from Portuguese island of Madeira, where he now lives, is successful.
He is supported by one of Britain’s top human rights lawyers in his battle to fight the request which stems from a bitter war of words over a debt that he claims he is owed for investment advice he provided for a banker colleague.
The two fell out after Mr Kitchen accused his colleague of reneging on the payment and repeated his criticism of him as a “parasite” and “plagiarist” in communications with the man’s bosses and a Swiss legal body.
It escalated into a complaint to police which is now at the centre of the criminal defamation charge for reputational damage for which he is being pursued in Portugal after a European warrant was issued for his arrest.
Normally such a claim of defamation would not stand a chance - particularly if he lived in Britain - because it is treated as a civil rather than a criminal offence in the vast majority of countries.
However, because Switzerland and Portugal are two of the few nations to treat it as a criminal matter, it is recognised in both countries as a basis for extradition.
Mr Kitchen told The Telegraph: “These are words. I haven’t harmed anyone here. I cannot understand why the Swiss have got so heavily into this. We seriously believe it is because of the currency issue in the background.”
Mr Kitchen is currently being considered for a potential substantial reward for his role in helping expose the Forex scandal, where banks colluded for at least a decade to manipulate exchange rates for their own financial gain.
Traders were sacked as at least 15 banks disclosed investigations by regulators into the multi-billion pound scandal across Switzerland, the UK, the US and Asia.
Mr Kitchen, who worked as a financial controller for companies including Shell, Castrol and Black and Decker, lost his 700,000 franc pension due to the rigged currency fluctuations.
“Because I had specialised in finance all my life understanding policies and procedures in companies, I went and reported this to all the regulators,” he said.
Toby Cadman, head and co-founder of Guernica 37 International Justice Chambers, who is working pro bono for Mr Kitchen, said: “If he was in the UK, this would not even get past the issuing of a warrant, let alone the extradition process.
“It is ludicrous that he should be facing a sentence of three years in prison for what he is alleged to have done. We will take it to the European court of human rights if that is necessary.”
The European arrest warrant, seen by The Sunday Telegraph, accuses him of “crimes against personal honour, violation of privacy, and threats.”
He was arrested by Portuguese police on January 19 and taken for questioning. “It was all maximum security stuff. Six policemen were around me and took me into a small room and told me to take all my clothes off. They threw me in prison for 48 hours all because of the words I used,” he said.
The Swiss embassy has been contacted for comment.

It’s known as the Mother Road, but these days some sections of the famous Route 66 are hoping to catch a lucky break.
On a 150-mile section of the old highway between Barstow, California and Needles, on the Arizona border, towns such as Klondike, Siberia, Bagdad, Amboy, Goffs and Homer are pocked with empty buildings. Officials from as far afield as New Mexico and Illinois gathered in Barstow last week to share their insights on how to revive one of America’s greatest roads.
Route 66 was commissioned in 1926 to link Chicago to Los Angeles, a distance of 2440 miles, or almost 4000km. The road went on to symbolize the promise of America’s west: it featured in John Steinbeck’s 1940 novel, The Grapes of Wrath, was mentioned in Jack Kerouac’s 1951 landmark On the Road, and in 1946, Nat King Cole urged Americans to “get their kicks on Route 66”. It was even the subject of a television show of the same name in the 1960s.
But the sheer volume of east-west traffic meant that, within decades, the two-lane road had become obsolete. It was decommissioned in 1985, and in 2007 was placed on a list of endangered sites by the World Monuments Fund. Today, some parts of the road have disappeared under newer, wider roads, such as the Interstate 40 in the southwest. Many of the towns that once boomed thanks to the highway have withered too. But some towns along the Mother Road, 85% of which is still navigable, have had better fortunes.
At the conference in Barstow last week, locals heard from residents of towns who have successfully revived tourism to their own sections of the old highway. The mayor of Pontiac, Illinois spoke about his town’s efforts to lure a collection of antique cars to a new Pontiac museum, while a motel-owner from Moriarty, New Mexico described how a family of owls that had colonised a historic motel neon sign turned into an internet meme. The hope is that, with a little imagination and elbow grease, California’s piece of driving history can be revived, as well as the fortunes of those who live alongside it.
