"It's easy to produce a Judy Garland show: Just give her a stage, a spotlight, and get out of the way." – Al Jolson
June 24, 1938: Judy pre-recorded "In Between" and "Meet The Beat Of My Heart" for Love Finds Andy Hardy. The latter song was trimmed in the final film.

The audio of the complete version of "Meet The Beat Of My Heart" first appeared on the 1977 LP "Cut! Out-takes from Hollywood's Greatest Films, Vol. 3." It was then released, in stereo, on the 1994 laserdisc set "Judy Garland – The Golden Years at MGM."
Its CD debut, also in stereo (along with "In Between") was on the 1996 Rhino Records double CD set "Judy Garland – Collector's Gems from the MGM Films."
In 2017 the film version (not the alternate prerecording) of "In-Between" was remastered and released on the 2-CD set "Judy Garland – Soundtracks."

June 24, 1939: Judy rehearsed and had more pre-recordings of the "Minstrel Man" number for Babes in Arms. Time called: 1 p.m.; time dismissed: 6 p.m.
June 24, 1940: MGM had a birthday party for Judy, currently filming Strike Up The Band. She had turned 18 on June 10th. Studio chief Louis B. Mayer presided over the proceedings while Judy's Mom, Ethel, also took part. Judy is seen holding a phonograph that was gifted to her by the studio. Also on this day, according to studio records, Judy was in rehearsals for the "La Conga" number for Strike Up The Band. She was on the set at 11 a.m.; dismissed at 5:40 p.m. The birthday celebration was most likely after rehearsals were done.

June 24, 1945: Oops! This newspaper's caption to a photo regarding The Clock claims that Judy wore this striped outfit in the film. The problem is, the photo is from 1940. Judy is not seen in the film in a striped outfit. Perhaps the author of the caption was referring to the more recent publicity photo of Judy in a striped shirt (see last image above) but the paper published the wrong image.
June 24, 1945: The story of MGM mistakenly releasing Deanna Durbin from her studio contract instead of Judy was already a Hollywood legend when Sheilah Graham mentioned it in her column.
June 24, 1945: Judy is wiser as her second marriage (to Vincente Minnelli) begins.
June 24, 1947: The second of six days of rehearsals of the "Be A Clown" number for The Pirate. Time called: 2 p.m.; dismissed: 4:30 pm.

June 24, 1963: The first episode of "The Judy Garland Show" was taped at CBS Television City, Hollywood, from 8:10 to 9:20 p.m. The audience included many stars: Lucille Ball, Jack Benny, Natalie Wood, Hedda Hopper, Louella Parsons, Agnes Morehead, Clint Eastwood, Dick Van Dyke (seen in the photo below, taken on this day, on his way to see the show), Carl Reiner, and Van Heflin.
Judy's guest for her first show was her old chum Mickey Rooney. Judy sang "Keep Your Sunny Side Up"; "When The Sun Comes Out"; "Exactly Like You"; "I Believe In You" (with Jerry Van Dyke who was her permanent sidekick on the show); "You're So Right For Me" (with Mickey); and for her "Born In A Trunk" segment that would close each show, Judy sang "Too Late Now"; "Who Cares?"; and "Ol' Man River." The show closed with Judy singing "I Will Come Back."
Judy also sang "Two Ladies In The Shade Of The Banana Tree" during the dress rehearsal on June 23, 1963, but by the taping the following night it was dropped.
The "Exactly Like You" song and sketch and the song "I Believe In You" would be cut before the broadcast date, and a new segment with Mickey was taped on November 29, 1963. A new opening song, "I Feel A Song Coming On" was taped on October 11, 1963. The deleted segments survived and have been released on DVD.
Although the show was the first one taped, it was not the first to air. It was originally broadcast on December 8, 1963.
June 24, 1968: Judy appeared on "The Tonight Show" starring Johnny Carson. Although she didn't sing, she was very funny and looked great. Below are a couple of photos of Judy taken just after the taping.
June 24, 1969: The articles examining various aspects of Judy's life began to appear. Here are a few, followed by the second installment of the lengthy Leo Guild series.
Leonard Lyons
Judy Remained Like a Child Forever
NEW YORK – Her end was inevitable from that day in Chicago's Oriental Theater when George Jessel was to introduce the child singer, Frances Gumm. His tongue resisted the clumsy sound, "Frances Gumm." he suddenly thought of the message he'd just sent Judith Anderson, who was opening in a Broadway play: "Dear Judy, may this new play add another garland to your Broadway career."
Jessel, therefore, blurted the name, "Judy Garland." Then he turned to the child singer waiting in the wings and told her: "Judy Garland . . . That's . you, honey."
She was born in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, and told me: "It was so small, the train would only stop there for laughs." From Grand Rapids, Minnesota, she moved to Lancaster, California. She worked in Charleston, but the one that's in Arkansas. Buffalo, too, but Buffalo, Iowa. Cleveland in Mississippi, Providence in Kentucky, and Manhattan in Kansas.
"I WAS BORN AND RAISED," she told me, "in the road companies of all the big towns."
Her childhood vanished somewhere along the way, and despite her multi-marriages, motherhood and advancing years, she remained a child forever – sad, gleeful, impulsive – everyone's child.
No star could match her for glory, and all along the way misfortune was in constant attendance. She played the Met Opera House but netted little because so large an orchestra and backstage crew were required by the rules. When she sang in Washington's Constitution Hall the then Attorney General Bobby Kennedy brought her to the White House and gave a party for her.
HER PRESS AGENT FAILED TO mention it to the press. Furthermore, there were no reviews of her performance, because she'd forgotten to invite the reviewers.
BARBRA STREISAND, whose singing always has been compared to Judy's, is more fortunate – and wiser. An expert team of personal managers, press agents and investment counselors makes sure that Miss Streisand will never be in need.
But Judy was the first to receive a million dollar offer, and she turned it down. "He offered me a million," she told me, "but I was to sing for him alone. Just for him. I'd have loved to have a million, but not at that price. All performers are a bit daffy."
"Daffy because to us the most important thing is an audience."
THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF WINDSOR phoned from their suite aboard a ship in mid-Atlantic, to make sure of reserved seats for her booking at the Palace. Bernard Baruch said whenever he'd have a tough decision to make he'd play Judy's recording of "Over the Rainbow," before deciding.
One night a birthday party for Leonard Bernstein was given by Margo and Eddie Albert at their Beekman Pl. house. I brought Judy Garland as my birthday gift to Bernstein. And she sang to Bernstein's piano accompaniment far into the night.
She was married then to Vincente Minnelli, who'd just brought her from Boston hospital to which she'd been confined for weeks. This, said Minnelli, was exactly what their doctor had prescribed. Judy spoke freely of her hospital stay. She mentioned the message from George Cukor, the veteran director: "Don't worry, you can't kill an actress."
"It made me angry at first, that note," she said, "but then in encouraged me. I realized how true it was – that rarely do you read of an actress being killed."
CARLTON ALSO WAS ONE OF HER early managers. He knew that Ronald Colman was her dream man but she'd never met the romantic star because she was too shy. Alsop waited for Judy's birthday. That morning her doorbell rang. She opened the door, and there on the doorstep covered in cellophane and with Alsop's "Happy birthday" ribbon, was Ronald Colman.
She needed a husband-manager like Sid Luft, one who was strong enough to overcome her reluctance to perform. The only music training she ever had, she confided, came when she chanced to get a job in a synagogue choir. It gave her that cantorial throb she used so effectively.
Judy rehearsed her daughter, Liza, for three weeks, for the youngster's TV role in "Wizard of Oz," the Arlen-Harburg musical that brought Judy worldwide fame. "I'll never try rehearsing Liza again," she sighed. "I did everything wrong – just like a stage mother." Jolson once said: "It's easy to produce a Judy Garland show: Just give her a stage, a spotlight, and get out of the way."
"Youth," she told me, "Isn't all it's cracked up to be. There are so many terrible things to find out about" … She turned down the Helen Morgan film role: "No more sad endings for me …"
Sister Blames Psychoanalysis
DALLAS (UPI) – Judy Garland's only surviving sister said she believes psychoanalysis was responsible for leading Miss Garland into a life of alcohol and pills.
"I think that analysis had a lot to do with her change of personality," said Mrs. Virginia Thompson, who last saw her sister in 1966. "She was about 19 when it happened. Until then she was an unusually healthy, normal girl."
Mrs. Thompson was the middle of the three Gumm sisters. Judy was the youngest. The oldest, Susie, died three years ago.
The sisters had a singing act, "The Gumm Sisters," that broke up when Judy was signed an MGM contract when she was 13.
Sleep Pills Cited in Judy's Death
LONDON (UPI) – Pathologists investigating Judy Garland's death ran more laboratory tests today in efforts to determine whether in fact an overdose of sleeping pills killed her.
Scotland Yard sources said an autopsy had revealed evidence of an excess of sleeping-inducing drugs in the star's system. Some pills were found in the two-story home where she was found dead Sunday.
"It is absolutely impossible to say if such an overdose was either accidental or otherwise," a Scotland Yard source said. Further lab tests on her blood and some organs were ordered.
MISS GARLAND had often blamed Hollywood for putting her on pep pills to speed her up and sleeping pills to slow her down following her portrayal of Dorothy in the "Wizard of Oz" in 1939 – the film that made her famous.
Her life became one of drugs, alcohol, four broken marriages, loneliness, and torment. Often she showed up late for concerts and sometimes not at all. She was frequently sick.
Westminster Coroner Gavin Thurston called an inquiry for tomorrow to hear testimony, the autopsy report and the laboratory findings to legally affix the cause of the 47-year-old entertainer's death.
Mickey Deans, her fifth husband, was a certain witness, whether in person or by sworn statement. It was he who found her dead at 11 A.M. Sunday.
FRIENDS DESCRIBED Miss Garland on her last day as depressed in the early morning and then gay, laughing and joking, in the evening over dinner in the Deans home.
"She gripped my hand and kept assuring me everything is all right, everything is all right," one friend said of Miss Garland's mood at a party Saturday morning.
Scotland Yard refused to comment on newspaper reports that the pills found in her home were 50 sleeping tablets out of a bottle of 100 she had bought Saturday. The yard said the tablets were not found next to the body.
Plans got underway to ship the body to New York, probably early Thursday.
Doc: Judy Had Diseased Liver
By Henry Maule, Staff Corresponded to THE NEWS
London, June 23 – Singer Judy Garland was suffering from cirrhosis of the liver and had been living "on borrowed time," her former London surgeon said today. At the same time, a coroner's inquest was ordered.
An autopsy was performed on the body of the 47-year-old stage and screen star today to determine the cause of death, but the results will not be known until tomorrow.
Shortly after Westminster Coroner Gavin Thurston ordered that an inquest be held on Wednesday, he received a cabled request from Judy's daughter, singer Liza Minnelli, that the body be flown home for funeral services.
In view of a statement by Miss Garland's former London surgeon, Dr. Philip Lebon, that she had been suffering from cirrhosis, the coroner could have decided that death was due to natural causes and not ordered an inquest.
Because of Miss Garland's fame and to preclude any suggestion that the authorities were trying to hush up a possible suicide, sources said Thurston apparently decided to hold an inquest.
The London Evening News said a box of sleeping pills was found near her body. However, police said the pills were not near the body. A Scotland Yard spokesman said reports that Miss Garland died of an overdose of drugs were "pure rubbish."
Informed sources said suicide would be ruled out. Because of advanced cirrhosis, they said, death must have been imminent. Contributory factors undoubtedly were the innumerable tablets she had taken over many years, liquor and harsh slimming diets, the sources added.
They said evidence found that the scene of death indicated that she had been overwhelmed by violent sickness.
Lebon said he and another Harley St. specialist had examined Judy eight years ago and estimated that, because of her illness, she could survive five years at most.
"She was living on borrowed time," Lebon said. "How she managed to live this long, I just don't know." She was "a great fighter," he added.
Today's autopsy was done at the Westminster mortuary, where the body was taken after her fifth husband of three months, former discotheque owner Mickey Deans, 35, found his wife dead i the bathroom of their home in London's fashionable Chelsea district yesterday morning.
Close friends said Miss Garland appeared "terribly tired and wan" at a party she attended with her husband early Saturday.
The friends said Miss Garland drank nothing alcoholic at the party and left early with Deans.
"But she looked so wan that I thought she was ill," one said.
"She gripped my hand and kept assuring me that everything is all right," another friend said.
[SIDE BAR] Body in N.Y. Thursday
The body of Judy Garland will be flown here Thursday morning and remain on view to the public all that day at Frank E. Campbell's funeral home, Madison Ave. and 81st St., it was learned last night. Burial will follow a private funeral service Friday afternoon.
Judy's Song Lives On Through TV and Movies
By KAY GARDELLA
Only the very smug of the world, who are sure they have an unfailing blueprint for life, could fail to mourn the loss of one of the greatest entertainers of our day – Judy Garland. Despite her tortured personal life, the memory of this talented and generous snub-nosed star will live on through television.
Judy was much bigger than life, yet it was life that ultimately became her enemy. perhaps mother nature was jealous of Judy, since through her talent and ongoing spirit, she reached heights and emotions few of us can. Her end was sad and premature but, as lyricists say, her song will live on.
Knowing television's habits, it won't be too long before you'll be seeing some of the great Garland films again. Channel 5, the film festival station, is talking about a memorial tribute now. This station has some of the really fine Garland films including "A Star Is Born," co-starring James Mason; "The Clock," with Robert Walker; "The Pirate," with Gene Kelly, which was shown Sunday afternoon, and one of the finest, yet most underrated of all – "Presenting Lily Mars" with Van Heflin.
It's Appropriate
Even if the re-release of the films now may seem like crass commercialism, we still think it appropriate. Her heart aches, personal tragedies, and fears frequently overshadowed her great gifts, and the generous way she entertained.
Still, it's the everlasting impression that counts and Judy will always be remembered as the bubbling, spirited girl who sang "Get Happy!" or the wistful waif who raised hope in the hearts of all of us with her unforgettable rendition of "Over the Rainbow."
'Oz' Came High
It cost CBS-TV over $1 million when the network originally purchased "Wizard of Oz" from MGM, with each re-release averaging $200,000. Then, two years ago, NBC-TV purchased five runs of the picture at the cost of $800,000 per showing.
The original package of MGM films, which included all pre-1948 films of Miss Garland except Oz, was sold to WCBS-TV in 1956. It has since been broken up and redistributed to local stations, with "Easter Parade," WCBS-TV's only Garland film left. This, a station spokesman said, will be shown at Easter time.
The NBC television network is holding "Judgment at Nuremberg" but can't release it until 1971. And some very early Judy Garland movies, with the "Andy Hardy" series included, are in the hands of WNBC-TV. In this package there are suck flickers as "The Harvey Girls," co-starring John Hodiak and Ray Bolger; "Andy Hardy Meets the Debutante," "Life Begins For Andy Hardy," all co-starring Mickey Rooney, plus "Little Nellie Kelly" with George Murphy.
A Great Film
But the one we'd like to see re-shown soon, and which we can't track down, is "Babes on Broadway" with Mickey Rooney. The gifted, creative side of Judy Garland should be emphasized now and can think of no other film unless it would be "Easter Parade," which better showcased her great talent. Both she and Mickey Rooney were sensational in this and the 1939 movie, "Babes in Arms," another we had trouble locating locally.
If we were putting together a memorial package of Judy Garland films, we'd want the above three to head the list. And the world should see "For Me And My Gal," "Meet Me in St. Louis" and "Presenting Lily Mars" for a real taste of the real Judy Garland
Estate Owns TVers
What CBS television would do with the series of 17 television shows Judy made for the network back in 1963, one of her happy periods, marked by a plush, pink dressing room and a record of always being on time for rehearsals, was a question being asked yesterday. But, according to programming head Mike Dann, Judy's estate has the rights to the series. CBS only has a tape record of them.
Her dressing room had a candy-striped makeup room and a picket fence and a garden around it. Laugh-in producer George Schattler, who helped on several of the shows, called it "Judy's playpen." The world, which she gave so much of herself to, was anything but a playpen. Too bad she couldn't see herself as others saw her – and that she's not still with us singing her heart out.
June 24, 1969: The second in a series of articles about Judy published immediately after her death. This installment was not kind at all about Judy's TV series, among other things.
Tantrums and Lost Magic Doom Million Dollar TV Series
This is the story of Judy Garland, the star, as written by Leo Guild, a veteran of the Hollywood scene who knew her well as actress, entertainer, and friend. IN this series, he will reveal a number of hitherto unpublished facts about the star who sang about happiness all the while it seemed to elude her grasp.
THE PRODUCER of television's number one rated show "Laugh-In" is George Schlatter. I 1963 as a CBS producer he went to the brass at the network with a newspaper reporting that Judy Garland was filling concert halls with enthusiastic audiences was making a remarkable comeback.
George suggested the network sign Judy Garland to head an hour-weekly series.
Everyone was aware that Judy was hard to handle. All knew they would be signing on a temperamental tyrant who had destroyed many a producer. They were sure it meant trouble.
But the Garland name was too hard to resist.
She was a magnificent talent and had prestige, a combination that resulted in large sums of money at the box office.
Despite some station affiliate protest the network signed Judy to a 26-week deal, and she was ecstatic about it.
HER AGENTS FORMED A COMPANY with Judy at the head of it, and she estimated she would make over two million dollars from the series. (In the end, because the show constantly went over budget, she made only a paltry few thousand.)
She promised to slim down which she did.
And when it came time to meet station owners and managers before the preview of her first show, Judy sang a parody of "Call Me Irresponsible" which went, "Call me irresponsible, call me unreliable, but it's undeniably true, I an irrevocably signed with you."
The boys ate it up. It was the high point of the experience. After that, it was all downhill.
JUDY WASN'T DRINKING but she was on pills. It was the only way she could get through the endless grind of rehearsals.
She would slur her words and forget her lines. She would blame the piano, the director, the writer, the producer and the orchestra – but never herself. She was a sick girl.
Today her closest friends say that what started her to the "Valley of the Dolls" again were the critics. How to figure them!
When she did her concerts critics lauded her.
On television, they weren't impressed. They felt her voice wasn't what it was. They objected to what they said was a certain exaggerated gaiety she had with guests.
One critic said she was superficial and phony.
Judy was not only crushed by such criticism, but amazed. She thought she was as good as ever – the same Judy that had stolen the hearts of millions of moviegoers.
A piano was off key and she smashed it with a shovel she found in the rehearsal room. CBS demanded she pay for the piano. She refused. It was only the first of many unsolvable battles with the network.
WHEN THE SHOW'S RATINGS started slipping, the network demanded more discipline.
Judy and June Allyson did a show together, and it was so informal that network executives asked sarcastically if it were filmed in the powder room.
They demanded certain scenes be reshot.
Judy screamed and said that she was striving for informality and their interference was what was causing the show to lose the audience.
All this bickering went on for months until, when the show came up for renewal, the network canceled it with some polite language to the press about how they wanted Judy to devote more time to her children.
No one was fooled.
The series was a flop.
Judy's magic never did get on the tube.
After the series, she'd often talk about it. "Why did it fail?" That was the question that many tried to answer – but unsuccessfully.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE SERIES was canceled Judy was hospitalized after falling down the stairs in a swank New York hotel.
Someone reported that she had been dizzy from an excessive amount of medication. Interpretation: She took an overdose of pills. Among some of the Hollywood Newsmen who knew and liked Judy best, I asked the question, "What would you say was the cause of Judy destroying so many great chances? Oddly enough there was an agreement among them. They felt that at the crux of most of her problems was weight. It was a losing battle begun in childhood and ending only just before she died.
JUDY WAS SIGNED BY MGM in 1935 at the age of thirteen. She was beautiful but thick-waisted.
She became acutely aware of it when her first singing teacher at the studio said she needed flesh to get those strong notes but she had to take off some weight for looks.
That became the ironic problem for the rest of her life – she felt and sang better when she was heavy, but she needed to look good.
How do you solve something like this? She never did
Not that she didn't try; she did – then and later.
But always it seemed some tragedy in her life arose to thwart her. At that time, shortly after she had begun to work at MGM, her father died of spinal meningitis
It was a bitter blow to Judy because, while she had always loved her father, she had always been reluctant to show her love.
She would secretly believe that she could show him how much she really loved him when she got older and was a famous movie star.
When she learned bad news – she ate and ate and ate.
His death caused Judy to react as she usually did as though by devouring food she could assuage her grief.
THE STUDIO THREATENED HER, they told her that no matter what her talent was, she would be out if she didn't stop eating.
So she carried a calorie chart and drank soup, and that's about it. She took off the poundage but got nervous and temperamental.
A studio nurse convinced Louis B Mayer she was too thin. They let her drink a double malted milk every day.
But Judy was with food the way some people are with liquor. She could never just have a little. She gorged herself on good food and soon was bloated and fat.
A studio executive called her in and told her she looked like a hunch-back monster with all that weight. She cried for a week. And she went on a cigaret and coffee diet. She slimmed again.
WHEN THE DAVID ROSE DIVORCE started she was so upset she ate and ate again. She blew up again.
This time she went to a psychiatrist and at $50 an hour saw him two hours every day – once before work and once after.
She got so much confidence from the psychiatrist – she told this to several people – she had her mother fired from the studio payroll, and didn't talk to her mother until sometime later when mama called a news conference and told the press that because her daughter wouldn't give her a sou, she had to go to work in a defense plant.
Judy sure talked to her mother then, but they never spoke again until her mother had a fatal heart attack on a parking lot in Hollywood.
JUDY'S WEIGHT TRAVERSED from 100 pounds to 180 pounds and back again at regular intervals. She usually looked fine at 100 and felt terrible, and felt fine at 150 or over and looked terrible.
She was so sensitive about weight that she sued a New York TV columnist, Marie Torre, for saying a CBS executive said the network had fired her because she was too fat.
At different periods of her life she said, "I'd rather look good. I don't care what I feel like."
But at other times she would say just the opposite.
During a whole lifetime no doctor or psychiatrist could regulate her body chemistry so that some sort of happy medium could be reached.
WHEN SHE MARRIED director Vincent Minelli – it lasted six years and they had one daughter, Liza – he believed he had the remedy for Judy.
"You don't enjoy being a star. You keep working toward some nebulous future when you have the whole world in the palm of your hands. Stop, and think how successful you are. Drink the juices of happiness that are yours for the taking."
She didn't know how.
Judy was happy – for a while – with a child. It was a new experience for her.
But even in this area of living, she didn't know how to enjoy the rewards of accomplishment. She was always intent upon making Liza "a fine, young lady" and introducing her to show business. But she didn't enjoy Liza.
WHEN HER MARRIAGE STARTED to go sour, so did her career at MGM. She was in and out of sanitariums, and whenever she came out she was healthy and twenty pounds too heavy. Then would start the rigorous dieting again.
For example, "Easter Parade" had to wait while she took off 15 pounds. The studio promised that when she finished "Easter Parade," they'd give her a six months vacation.
On that promise, she worked hard and finished the film. But MGM had spent $350,000 to buy "Annie Get Your Gun" just for Judy, and Judy was so happy about it she decided she'd waive a vacation and get to work immediately.
The plan was for her to spend six weeks recording the music from "Annie Get Your Gun" before the actual shooting began.
One day during rehearsal she went to her dressing room and when the assistant director came to fetch her, she wouldn't come out.
Louis B. Mayer was called down, and he sat with Judy and begged her to work. She said she was worn out, dead tired and she couldn't go on.
She went to sleep while he was in her dressing room.
Mayer talked to Judy's physician and the physician put it straight.
"She's beyond me," he said. "I don't frankly think she can live six months. She's suicidal and doesn't want to live."
He later told that to Judy, too. She ran hysterically to an asylum.
So Judy was fired from the picture and Betty Hutton was signed.
WEDNESDAY: Bright moments in Judy's life.
June 24, 2013: This two-page spread appeared in the "Home Media Magazine" as well as other trade publications, promoting the upcoming re-release of The Wizard of Oz on Blu-ray and newly formatted in 3D. The 75th-anniversary set was a year early, the anniversary of the film was in 2014. New collectibles complimented the set which aside from those new collectibles and the 3D version of the film, the contents were the same as the 2009 boxed set.

Halloween Movies for the Faint of Heart
By VERONICA GRAY
For most, Halloween means jack-o-lanterns, fun costumes, tons of candy and, of course, horror movies. For some, that last item can be tricky to deal with. For those on the jumpier side, Halloween can be a time of nostalgia rather than scare. So instead of watching a movie that might make you sleep with the lights on for the next month, you can pick one of these Halloween classics to enjoy.
While not specifically for Halloween, The Addams Family (1991) movie rises out of the grave to give us the creepy feeling to the point of laughter. In this film, a con-man is attempting to swindle the Addams out of their family fortune. Unfortunately, he doesn't know where they keep their money and the job is then left to Abigail Craven and her son, who looks an awful lot like the missing family member Fester Addams. The cast brings this crazy family to life with actors like Christopher Lloyd (Fester Addams) who is known for his role as Dr. Emmett Brown in Back to the Future and Anjelica Huston (Morticia Addams), now known for her roles in Medium and SMASH. One of the best scenes in the movie is during the party for Fester, which is towards the movie's climax. The party brings in all of the classic Addams family members like Cousin It and puts on quite the show with Gomez and Fester dancing the mamushka, a Russian dance the family has done together in the past. The movie is fun and scare free. For those who might be a bit squeamish, the movie does have obviously fake blood and some other potentially uncomfortable moments, like Fester catching a sword in his mouth during the mamushka. You can find The Addams Family on Netflix until Nov. 1.
Is it a Halloween movie? Is it a Christmas movie? It can be both. Tim Burton's classic focuses on Jack Skellington (Chris Sarandon), better known as the Pumpkin King, as he discovers Christmas Town. The movie then follows him through his journey to understand Christmas in a way expected of such a character: kidnapping Santa and becoming Sandy Claws himself. Jack is voiced by Chris Sarandon who is known for his roles in The Princess Bride and Judging Amy, and his other half, Sally, is voiced by Catherine O'Hara who played Kate McCallister in Home Alone. Some of the best moments of this movie are musical numbers, a favorite being Jack's song "What's This?," and the beautifully done claymation work on all of the characters. The movie allows viewers to witness Burton's creepy writing and style, but is perfectly safe to watch alone in the dark. The movie is a classic and will be on Freeform, as part of their 13 Nights of Halloween programming on Saturday Oct. 29 at 7 a.m.
There honestly couldn't be a Halloween movie list without Hocus Pocus being on it. The film takes place on Halloween night in Salem and follows Max, his sister Dani, Allison and the immortal cat Binx. In this movie, the kids and their new friend Binx try to keep the newly resurrected Sanderson Sisters from becoming immortal by consuming the souls of children. There's a bit of magic, fun and tons of great comedy brought by Bette Midler as Winifred (Beaches, Parental Guidance), Sarah Jessica Parker as Sarah (Sex & The City), and Kathy Najimy as Mary (Sister Act, Numb3rs). These three witches bring three different personalities to the table with Winifred as the brains of the coven, Sarah as the dumb blonde and Mary just bumbling along, trying to help. The three put together bring the Sanderson Sisters to life in a hilarious way as they interact with the new elements of Salem in 1993. The movie has one zombie, but even he isn't that scary. Hocus Pocus can be seen on Freeform, and Student Productions is showing the film on Oct. 28 at 8 p.m. in Reeves Theater.

According to Amazon.com, Owen focuses on a more positive theme, in comparison to earlier work. Instead of lamenting the end of failed relationships, this record is about starting a new relationship, and the hope that accompanies it.


Seattle - AMD is making another push to take some market share from rival Intel with the introduction this week of three new processors.
The Llanos A series of accelerated processing units (APU) being introduced are the A4, A6 and A8 series and will be aimed directly at the mid-range, $499 to $699, notebook category, said Leslie Sobon, AMD's product platform marketing VP. These are being marketed under the Fusion brand, which was rolled out at International CES.
"We are very focused on system price, particularly the A6 quad at the $599 laptop. We now have 12 to 14 percent share, and we want to grab more share here," Sobon said.
AMD believes its ace in the hole is its ability to offer discrete-level graphics ability on its processors.
"This [offering] represents the reason we bought ATI four years ago," she said.
Having direct access to ATI's intellectual property, Sobon said, has allowed AMD to better integrate the GPU with its processors.
"AMD will deliver better cost, power and heat [reduction] than Intel because of the ATI graphics on the chip. "You could call it a GPU with a CPU in it or a CPU with a GPU."
Raymond Dumbeck, AMD's client product marketing senior manager, added that the integration between GPU and CPU will advance over the next few years to the point where the two processor types will fully merge on the silicon.
The addition of the A series, which is a follow up to the first APUs rolled out by AMD late last year, is part of the company's plan to totally overturn its processor family by the end of 2011. When the company's Z series ships later this year, AMD will have almost fully replaced its stand-alone CPU product line with the Fusion APUs, Sobon said, eliminating names like Phenom, Athlon and Turion from AMD's lexicon. A few very high-end CPUs will remain available.
Hewlett-Packard reported its Pavilion dv and G notebook series can be configured with the AMD APU.
•The HP Pavilion dv6 starts at $599.99 and the Pavilion dv7 starts at $699.99. The Pavilion dv6 and dv7 are expected to be available in July.
•The HP Pavilion g4 starts at $449.99, the Pavilion g6 starts at $498 and the Pavilion g7 starts at $499. The HP Pavilion g-series is expected to be available in July.

How COVID-19 Changed Our Cities: Evidence from a National Survey
Deborah Salon, Arizona State University
Download Presentation (2.0 MB)
Human behavior is notoriously difficult to change, but a disruption of the magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to bring about long-term behavioral changes. During the pandemic, people were forced to experience new ways of interacting, working, learning, shopping, traveling, and eating meals. A critical question going forward is how these experiences have actually changed preferences and habits in ways that might persist. We collected a nationally-representative, 3-wave panel survey in the U.S. that aims to shed light on this question. This talk will draw from these data to describe how the pandemic did (and did not) change how we live in cities, what we still don't know, and in which areas urban planners should adjust their assumptions as we look to the future.
Deborah Salon studies transportation in cities with the goal of better understanding of how these systems work, and how policies and smart investments might improve them. She is passionate about doing research that can help solve real-world problems, and a common thread in her work is to inform policies that aim to reduce global automobile dependence. Salon employs methods ranging from qualitative, interview-based research to advanced econometric analysis. She holds a PhD in Agricultural and Resource Economics from the University of California, Davis. Before joining the faculty at ASU, Salon completed a post-doctoral fellowship at Columbia University's Earth Institute and subsequently held a research appointment at UC Davis's Institute of Transportation Studies.

Connecticut State in Mental Health Denial
July 11th, 2014 By Able Child | Legislation Alerts, Press Releases
The recent July 9th Ct. Mirror article, Children Stuck in Crisis, accomplishes the intended purpose of deceptively convincing the people of Connecticut that there's a severe mental health services crisis in the state.
On the surface, the article's author, Arielle Becker, provides a compelling scenario of the state's youth failing to get the needed mental health care and forced to rely on emergency room services. The problem with the presentation is Becker's failure to address a key piece of information in the reported mental-health-crisis-puzzle – the increased psychiatric drugging of Connecticut's children.
The entire article focuses on the specific case of Peter, a 6 foot, 220 pound 13-year old, who apparently has been in the care of mental health professionals for many years of his young life. Peter is described as having "psychiatric issues and a developmental disorder that places him on the autism spectrum."
Becker does not provide any details about Peter's psychiatric history, including information such as when he first was diagnosed with a psychiatric mental disorder, the number of specific mental disorders he has been labeled with and, most importantly, which mind-altering psychiatric drugs he has been prescribed during his young life.
These are not unimportant questions, especially when one considers the known adverse reactions associated with most psychiatric drugs. For example, antidepressants carry the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) "Black box" warnings for increased risk of suicidality. Other known adverse reactions associated with antidepressants include aggressive and abnormal behavior, hallucinations, mania and psychosis.
Other psychiatric chemical "treatments" include anti-anxiety and antipsychotic drugs, which also carry such adverse reactions as hostility, confusion, hallucinations, agitation, restlessness and tremors.
Becker, in an attempt to get to the bottom of this mental health services crisis explains that "some mental health care providers link it to an increase in the number of children with mental health needs…others see a greater willingness to recognize problems because awareness of mental illness has grown."
What obviously is missing from the list of reasons for the "crisis" is the increased prescribing of dangerous psychiatric drugs. In fact, the only mention of any psychiatric drug "treatment" comes at the end of the article when Becker finally reveals that Peter was seen by psychiatrists at the Institute of Living and "his medication was changed." That's it. Pathetically, that is the extent of the conversation about psychiatric drugging.
But the lack of important information doesn't end there. Becker also does not provide any information about all the previous failed attempts to "fix" Connecticut's broken mental health system. For example, in 2008, lawmakers attempted mental health fixes through the President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health – "Connecticut's Mental Health and Transformation State Incentive Grant."
This $13 million dollar "fix," as explained by Project Director, Pat Rehmer, as "Transformation efforts and activities are broad based and far reaching as they have been implemented across multiple state agencies offering the state's citizens an array of accessible services and supports that are culturally responsive, person and family-centered."
Certainly sounds like this "fix" should have helped Peter but, alas, it is another costly, failed mental health Band aid. Not surprisingly, this "transformation" also did not address the ever-increasing use of psychiatric drugs for "treatment" of Connecticut's children.
Is it any wonder, then, that the "crisis" not only exists, but is worsening? The people of Connecticut still are not getting accurate information, and it is these omissions that render this article irrelevant in the debate for increased mental health services.
Ignoring important information does not benefit those who are suffering, nor does it help those in a position to make the necessary, and deadly serious, changes that are needed.

Side effects are relatively infrequent events that do, unfortunately, happen to some people using a drug. This article suggests that they are guaranteed to occur to most people.
Take a look at the side effects of water: http://www.royalrife.com/dhmo.html
Read the back of the box or the package insert next time you take aspirin or Motrin for a headache. Or your toothpaste, for that matter.
Think about how many people experience side effects from these common medications. Someone has somewhere, sure. But common? Hardly. Are side effects more common with psych meds? Most likely. But "more common" still doesn't mean "common."
No, meds aren't the answer to most psychiatric issues in children. But there are times they have a role, and outrageous fear mongering is more harmful in those cases in which meds can make a significant difference.
Sheila Matthews on July 15, 2014 at 7:39 am
The dangerous issue here is exactly your point, that these deadly side effects of suicide and homicidal ideation don't happen to every user, making it more difficult to control the deadly outcome. Less than 1% of the population uses the MEDWATCH reporting system that tracks adverse events.
I am sure you would agree, if the psychiatry industry was caring and supportive of those who use their psychiatric drugs, they would handout a "MEDWATCH" form to each user and support releasing the toxicology reports of those who did have access to their products and services in the aftermath of mass murders and suicides.
More Common or Common hardly gives comfort to those who don't use psychiatric drugs and enter a school, cafe, or movie theatre and are killed by a consumer that selected psychiatric drugs and goes on a homicidal-suicide psychiatric drug induced rampage.
Claims that psychiatric drugs make a significant difference in the marketplace is exactly why over 70+ million Americans are now on 1 or more mind altering psychiatric drugs. At the end of the day, the consumer has the right to decide what is in their best interest. However, for the State and Federal government to embrace mandated mental health screening and "shy" of force treatment as policy for the Country is outrageous.
Fear mongering is failing to provide parents informed consent by claiming the only way to "treat" behavioral problems is by forcing them into the psychiatric industry and not allowing alternative treatments.
Thank you again for your valuable input; it helps clarify the importance of informed consent and the right to refuse psychiatric products and services.
I am sure that the family members of those lost to the deadly school shootings and to psychiatric drug induced suicide wished that the psychiatric drug user just drank water (your comparison) and sought help outside the field of psychiatry.
Very good posting! Thank you.

Please listen to what fans want
November 25, 2014 rugbygroundtravels Uncategorized	Aviva Premiership, Harlequins, Saracens
I am looking forward to Quins "Big Game 7 against Northampton Saints immediately after Christmas. This game provides a great excuse to drag oneself away from the excesses of the festive season and watch some live rugby at a reasonable cost.
However, it is clear from previous such matches that the majority of those present are there for th same reason and not necessarily "real " rugby fans.So what you might ask, But I see Edward Griffiths, the ever-quotable chief executive of Saracens, has been accusing other Premiership clubs of being "depressingly conservative" in not staging a "Big game" of their own. his own team after all are regular attendees at Wembley, and go here next March to play Quins.
The question he doesn't ask is whether the loyal fans of the likes of Northampton, Bath and Leicester, really want a "Big Game.And where would they play it? those clubs have taken occasional games to other bigger venues but they've done it to accommodate real demand-it was still a rugby crowd, not one forced to endure third-rate entertainment with the game as a sideshow.
When Sarries went on their trip to play Racing Metro in Brussels what longer term good did it do? Perhaps they should concentrate ion filling Allianz Park, something they are having trouble doing now the novelty has worn off.

Good Bye to Adams Park
November 18, 2014 rugbygroundtravels Uncategorized	Adams Park, London Welsh, Wasps
It has never been easy to love Adams Park. It sits at the end of an industrial estate, a cul-de-sac of deserted office and factory space on a Sunday, a bunged-up traffic black-spot, forlorn, uninspiring, a far remove from a raucous bear-bit. And it's not even in London!
Wasps have not been a London club for a decade, but nomads for some while now, and have made a virtue of it, the waifs and strays that banded together and took on the world to such good effect.
You do wonder if the move to Coventry will work. You imagine how desolate the 32,000 capacity Rioch might be on match day with the diehards rattling around inside. It will be a case of starting over. When Wasps moved to Loftus Road they struggled to attract gates of more than 5,000. They have never managed to attract more than a decent smattering of supporters at Adams Park, a ballpark figure of 6,000.(Today's attendance was 5842). Leicester even managed to pull in 22,639 for the visit of Newcastle. They now not only need their current fans to remain loyal, which will be difficult enough with travelling costs rising and more time needed to get home matches, but to attract thousands of new ones . It will take time.
Meanwhile, there was a game to be played.
Today's match against hitherto winless London Welsh was the club's final Premiership fixture at Adams Park. The last game of all is a European rugby Champions Cup match-up against Castres in four weeks. For the record, today's was Wasps' 131st Premiership game at Adams Park, but only the second against London Welsh. (The first game there was in September 2002, a 38-35 win over Bristol)
The Exiles are rock bottom of the Premiership, having gleaned one point, conceded 36 tries and 272 points in their opening six games. Now make that 47 tries and 343 points. Nathan Hughes got the ball rolling with a try with just a minute gone before Johnson,Sailosi Tagicakibau and Hughes again made it 26-0 at half-time. Things got completely out of hand for Welsh in the second period as Wade and Johnson completed their hat tricks while Tom Varndell and Joe Simpson also touched down to make it 11 tries in total for the hosts. At least Wasps ended their Aviva Premiership Rugby tenure at Adams Park in style.
FIFA can have a good idea
November 12, 2014 rugbygroundtravels Uncategorized	Aviva Premiership, Six Nations
During the 2014 FIFA World cup we saw the introduction of a white vanishing spray being used by referees to mark where a free kick should be taken.
With rugby referees constantly turning a blind eye to crooked feeds perhaps it is time that they used the same spray to set the scrum. A small line could be drawn as the centre spot with hookers heads positioned over the mark before and when the ball is put in. The mark would also be the line on which the scrum-half must put the ball in. Perhaps this might end the ridiculous feeding by scrum-halves . If referees penalize crooked feeds the No. 9's would soon learn.
The hookers would then have to hook the ball,which is why they are called "hookers!" Without this basic skill the role of a hooker becomes redundant,as their only designated role would be to throw the ball in at a line-out – which can be done by any player prepared to learn the skill.
Premiership rugby to the US should stay a dream
November 7, 2014 rugbygroundtravels Uncategorized	Aviva Premiership, Six Nations
Football's Premiership seems to be trying to revive the notion of playing an extra league fixture in faraway lands..Burnley v Stoke in Bangkok anyone?
Rugby seems to have caught the same bug. There is talk of the Aviva Premiership and the Six Nations taking a game to the United States. Blame the All Blacks who drew a 61,000 crowd to watch them play the US Eagles in Chicago.
Once again it shows the disconnect between those who run the game and those who watch it. The first Six Nations match next year is a Friday evening kick-off in Cardiff. I can tell you from bitter experience that the road into the Welsh capital from the London end turns into a car park every Friday, regardless of what might be happening at the Millennium Stadium.
How far is the game prepared to bow to the demands of television? I think we know that the answer to that is "how far would you like us to?"
But what justification is there for taking a game to a country thousands of miles away where rugby's footprint would not even show up in the sand?

"Expect the unexpected" seems to be the watchword of taking over the radio responsibility. Owing to both the language barrier and variable training level of the staff that are on duty at any one time, it can be very hard to tell from the radio call exactly how severe a patient you are called to see is. Especially "convulsions" - a term that seems to be a firm favourite with the staff here - which can cover anything from a true epileptic fit, to someone writhing in pain, to a bout of hysterics, to the profound rigors and shivering that people experience when in the grips of a high fever. And occasionally we are just called over to deal with a stubborn patient who just wants to talk to the "Kawaja" (foreigner) and won't accept the instruction of the national staff. The best policy I have for dealing with calls is ask for as much information over the radio as possible whilst simultaneously making my way over the hospital as rapidly as I can - at 3am over the rough ground in torch light a brisk trot is about all I can achieve!
What follows are just a few of the more memorable cases of the sort I have experienced during my on calls in the last couple of months - they didn't all occour during the same night thankfully!
"Oncall for ER - Emma oncall for ER - we are very busy, please come?" I push my half eaten dinner away and head over. When I get to the ER I regard the collection of people outside and sigh. With the OPD now across town at the Ministry of Health we are still getting a lot of non-urgent patients turning up at the MSF ER. Placating the harassed looking ER staff member inside I leave them seeing a forlorn looking child with malaria while I go and fish a nurse out of the ICU to help. They act as my translator as I move through the crowd triaging and assessing severity. Three out of four people are told politely but firmly to go home and go to the OPD the next day. Within 30 minutes the crowd has dissipated and a sick looking man and a couple of babies are left to be more thoroughly assessed and treated. No worries. Much better.
I'm about to go back to my congealing dinner when another couple of figures emerge out of the darkness, a mother with a small girl in tow. Neither exactly looks sick on first glance. I can't help but growl internally. It would be so much better for everyone if people didn't come to the hospital so late in the evening when they've been sick for a few days already... and I turn to the nurse to help me translate. When I look back at the three-year-old though I relent. She has diarrhoea and it turns out that these two have walked for over two hours to come here; the child looks exhausted. I do a mental inventory of the wards and decide paediatrics can squeeze them in. Along with the oral rehydration an IV overnight won't hurt. I can review and discharge the child before handing over in the morning.
"Hello... hello oncall? This is paediatric ward...." I'm already sat in the ICU scribbling some notes when this call comes, so I amble across the walkway into the children's ward. A seven-year-old boy is... well, not right. Vague history of abdominal pain, no appetite, has been in for four days now, looks a bit more peaky tonight. Treatment for amoebiasis doesn't appear to have helped. The boy is curled up on the bed. He doesn't object as I gently reposition him and palpate his belly, but I notice his skin is covered with a faint sheen of sweat, and he curls up again as soon as I finish. No vomiting. Vital signs normal other than a very mild fever. I'm totally perplexed. Nothing I can put my finger on is wrong, but internally all my cumulative nursing experience is screaming at me that this child is a lot sicker than he looks. I move the child to ICU for closer observation during the night and hesitantly call the surgeon for a second opinion. The subsequent day the boy is diagnosed with typhoid fever and bowel perforation and undergoes extensive surgery. Typhoid fever masks the usual fast heart rate of a septic patient with paradoxical slowing of the pulse, making it appear normal. Thank god for following my instincts.
"Oncall for ICU- we need one IV cannula"... this is my second ever night on call, first ever solo radio call for ICU. An IV cannula, how hard can that be? Bread and butter of my days at home, I muse as I wander over to the hospital. Except at home I was never required to put in an IV cannula on a three-day-old baby in respiratory distress. The old cannula has stopped working - taking out the baby's left hand as a possibility - and leaving me with two fragile thready veins on the back of the right hand to get a line into. Up to this point the youngest person that I have done this one is a teenager. I gather all my equipment, ask a nurse to act as a tourniquet and stare unhappily in the torchlight at the tiny, almost translucent hand now held in my own.
My first attempt is not successful - the baby squawks in protest at the restraint of being held so tightly by his mother who I notice now is looking at me with an expression of complete trust and confidence. More confidence than I have. I debate calling the doctor... but I'm not going to get away from the fact that I will have to do this one day without backup. Now is as good a time as any. I grit my teeth and try again in the second vein, at an infinitesimally different angle to the first time and - miracle - a tiny flash of red in the cannula's viewing chamber. I'm almost too taken aback to carry on, but happily the ICU nurse isn't and between us we secure the line in place and restart the child's IV fluids.
I look up from my cramped position squatting on the floor by the bed and grin at the nurse - he grins back and we do a little high five in front of the uncomprehending mother, who clearly never doubted the "kawaja's" abilities.
"Hello oncall for ITFC?" Oh bugger, I've been dreading being called there. Infants are not my forté. I'm snatching a quick shower when this call comes and hurriedly towel off and pull clothes onto my still damp body. I cautiously walk into the semi-dark ward which full as it is of babies is never entirely quiet. There are soft sleepy cries from the beds on both sides of me as I walk towards the pool of torchlight that indicates where the staff member is crouched by a patient.
A teeny tiny naked baby is laid next to his mother waving all four stick thin limbs in the air. One of week-old premature twins. Hypothermic. Sweating as I am in the 30 degree evening is hard to believe that hypothermia is possible here, but there you go - babies internal body thermostats take a few months to kick in. The baby is only 32 degrees - urgh, that really is low.
We scramble about for one of the silvery reflective survival blankets to wrap him in but it turns out that one is torn and the other is on a child in the ICU. And it's not like we have an incubator we can pop him into. I pause - and then remember something from my tropical nursing course. With the night staff we persuade mum to disrobe her top half and lay flat on her back. Her tiny mewling son is laid naked on her chest and we bundle blankets around them both. Kangaroo care. Back to basics. Skin to skin. The baby's temperature comes up within an hour. Magic.
"Oncall for Adult ward... yes , we have one severe patient... please come." I roll out from under the mosquito net fully dressed, grab a torch and yawningly exit my tukul. Once in the adult ward I am led to a bed in dark corner where a semi-conscious old man is laying, his breathing harsh and erratic. His diminutive grey haired wife is huddled on a corner of the bed. This does not look good. I put my stethoscope into my ears and bend down to listen to the chest - crackles and bubbling galore - and leaf hurriedly through the notes when they are brought to me, squinting at the clinical officer's spidery handwriting interspersed with the doctor's scrawl. Probable heart failure. Blood pressure too low for a diuretic during the day, lungs too wet to give fluids to treat the blood pressure now. This is the extent of the treatment we can offer here.
This man is dying. But we can make him comfortable at least. A smidge of IV opiate later and the laboured breathing eases. I kneel by the wife and explain with the translation of the nurse that there is nothing else we can do, but we can relieve his distress. Her milky cataracted eyes look at me and she nods. No denial, no debate - death here is a part of life. I hope she has some family who can look after her when he's gone. Later in the night I check back - the man is still breathing but slower now. His wife keeps her vigil at the foot of his bed. At 6am I'm called again - the breathing has stopped. His still body is resting now, in counterpart to his wife who is rocking back and forth chanting softly. Across from the hospital compound a riotous singing has started up at the early morning church service and I feel a burst of indignation at the seeming inappropriate contrast between the sound of the cheerful hymn and the tragic tableau in front of me. The widow has to go and get some family to help her carry the body home and she shuffles out of the hospital gates into the lightening dawn.
My indignation fades with the retreating night and I watch dawn spread across the sky. She has family. He died peacefully, cared for, with his wife by his side and music in his ears. There are worse things in this world.
"Hello oncall for ER... hello? ... HELLO ONCALL?" I fumble for the radio handset in the darkness and belatedly croak a response into it. A scorpion bite in the ER, I'm informed. Ooh, interesting - although I've read about them I haven't seen one of these before. The nights are hotter now and I pull my T shirt on, stoop out of my tukul and drag my sweat-damp hair into a ponytail as I walk across the compound.
I can hear a whimpering that gets louder as I approach the ER. As I step into the well lit room I am simultaneously aware of two things. One; my MSF T shirt is back to front and inside out - whoops, hardly professional - and two; this woman is in agony.
The people of this place have what appears to me a sky high pain tolerance - postoperative children who would be bed bound on morphine drips at home are sat up looking cheerful within 24 hours, women cruise daily through labour and delivery with no analgesic assistance, men unflinchingly watch you poke their rhino-hide skin with needles as you search for veins. The elderly woman in front of me is sat on the concrete floor whimpering and clutching at her ankle, rocking rhythmically, her face twisted with pain. This is no sham. She was stung whilst walking out of her tukul to the toilet. Her sons who have carried her for an hour to get here flop exhausted against the wall and expectantly regard the dishevelled apparition of a "kawaja" that has just walked in. I put them to work again carrying her to an examination couch and unlock the cupboard where the local anaesthetic lives.
As hideously unexpected and unpleasant as the scorpions here are, they are not lethal - just excruciating. I draw up a syringe of anaesthetic and the nurse helps me to clean and prepare the woman's foot for the injection. Her crying crescendos every time we touch her leg and she buries her face in her shawl wailing as I approach her foot with the needle. Her skin is tough and calloused but I persist and squeeze in a few millilitres of lignocaine around the minute puncture site that is the source of all her distress.
Within seconds the crying stops - literally, it is that fast - and she looks up incredulously at the blessed numb relief. We all - including her sons -start laughing at her expression of evident surprise. Ten minutes later she is smiling and ready to go home. Her sons shake my hand as they file out and she clasps both my hands and croons delightedly at me in Nuer before walking erectly away- this woman who couldn't stand when she arrived. I grin. Who cares which way round my T shirt is?
"Hello oncall, this is surgical ward - we need some paracetamol." I bury my head in my pillow and stifle a groan. Why, oh why couldn't they have foreseen the lack of paracetamol when they came on duty last night? I shamble over to the ward, rubbing my eyes, there'll be no point going back to bed after this. I grumblingly examine the chart - yes, the patient is due paracetamol, jolly good, I'll go and get it. I discontentedly wander around the hospital after I've solved the drug shortage. Paediatric ward are preparing their IV medications. ITFC is a cacophony of noise as children are awoken for their early morning milk feed. The ICU patients are thankfully stable. A pregnant woman with severe pneumonia who was struggling to breathe last night is finally sleeping. Humph. Lucky her.
En route back to the expat house I meet Ruth, our American midwife, who if possible looks tireder than I feel, having been up delivering not one, but three babies overnight. We both have busy days ahead of us, her in antenatal clinic, me supervising the IPD. We sit down to share a coffee and brief moan as day breaks and wonder aloud why we have chosen such a demanding job with such antisocial hours.
Is it really worth it? Really??
I think back over the patients I have seen on my last few on calls. The boy with typhoid fever. The scorpion bite. The hypothermic baby. Even the man who died. I've made many people more comfortable; some in their last moments, some in their first few days of life, and maybe even helped save one or two lives. A contentment spreads through me that no amount of tiredness can steal away.
Oh, yes. Every single sleep deprived second.

Foderingham - No Excuses Now
SPEAKING after the 1-0 defeat at Meadow Lane, goalkeeper Wes Foderingham believes the squad will make the most of the enforced two-week fixture break.
Town are without a game for two weeks until Doncaster Rovers come to The County Ground on Saturday 8th December. Foderingham saw his side frustrated in their attempts to get past Notts County stopper Bartosz Bialkowski who denied the Robins on numerous occasions.
He said: "We are disappointed with the defeat. We were undone by that one mistake but we gave them opportunities to get balls into the box. The strike for the goal was a good one and fair play to the lad.
"I was frustrated today. Part of me wants to go out there and try and do a bit myself. I am sure we will be working hard over the next two weeks to try and put things right against Doncaster Rovers.
"Hopefully the break will help us collect our thoughts. It could take a bit of the pressure off but there will be no excuses against Doncaster that's for sure."
McKirdy's here to stay!
Swindon Town Football Club are delighted to announce that Harry McKirdy has put pen to paper on a new deal at The County Ground.
Romoney Crichlow recalled by Huddersfield Town

Swindon Town FC are looking to recruit a Graduate Marketing Executive to join the staff at SN1 on a full-time basis

Blagoja "Bill" Neškovski (, 20 January 1964 – 25 November 1989) was a Macedonian Australian playwright and actor. He wrote in both English and Macedonian

Born Blagoja Neškovski in Bitola, Republic of Macedonia, his family migrated to Australia in 1974 and settled in the industrial town of Port Kembla. He wrote his first play, Full House, while in his final year at Warrawong High School and then studied creative arts at the University of Wollongong and an acting course at NIDA. His second play, Say Goodbye to the Past, premiered at Theatre South in 1985.

He became a member of the Nimrod Theatre Company in 1986, and in 1989, he wrote his third and final play, Conqueror Cole. It was performed in Wollongong, Sydney, Melbourne, as well as in his homeland Macedonia. Craig Pearce (who co-wrote the script for Strictly Ballroom with Baz Luhrmann) played the role of Sašo in the 1989 Griffin Theatre Company production of Say Goodbye to the Past.

Neškovski's plays deal with issues confronting the Macedonian migrant experience in Australia. Cultural dislocation is an underlying theme in the plays. One month before his early death, he was accepted as a member of the Association of Writers of Macedonia. He was also a member of an amateur Macedonian-Australian theatre group Macedonian Theatre of Illawarra which, after his death, took his name to become the Macedonian Theatre Bill Neškovski.

The Sydney Morning Herald published an obituary on 29 November 1989. He was posthumously given a Special Award for distinguished contribution to Australian literature in the 1991 New South Wales Premier's Literary Awards.

Dodgers Blue Heaven: Welcome to the Blue, Jimmy Rollins!
A rumor thrown against the wall actually turns out to be true. I guess a broken clock is right at least twice a day, eh?
The big news reported out of the Winter Meetings this afternoon is that the Dodgers have now supposedly secured a veteran to play shortstop. Confirmed through various sources online, but not yet ackowledged by the respective ballclubs, is that Philadelphia infielder Jimmy Rollins will now wear Blue.
In return, the Phillies are reported to have received two minor league pitching prospects, but at this time those names have yet to surface. Those details should be coming along soon.
Jimmy Rollins is a gamer, a winner and one of the best defensively at shortstop. He has won four Gold Gloves, has been an All-Star three times and is a former NL MVP. Today, at 36-years old, Rollins has started to show his age. Still, he remains one of the best at his position and retains much of the speed that allowed him to steal 453 bases over the past 15 seasons with the Phillies.
On a side note, Rollins will rejoin former base-stealing coach Davey Lopes in Los Angeles, so we may very well see a more active Rollins on the base paths. Also, in 2013 he ranked last in WAR, but rebounded nicely the following season with a 3.9 WAR - for 3rd best in the league.
As for how this deal fits for the Dodgers going forward, Rollins' contract provides the kind of stopgap the Dodgers have been searching for as they wait patiently for Corey Seager to be ready. He has just one year remaining on his contract that pays him $11Mil.
Overall, I gotta say that I like this deal very much. Rollins can provide the kind of leadership a disjointed clubhouse oftentimes needs, and he still has the skills on the field to be very useful to the club. Best yet, we aren't tied to him for an expanded period of time.
You can follow Jimmy Rollins on twitter (@JimmyRollins11) and instagram (jrollins11). He also has a facebook page that you can follow here.
In celebration of Rollins' arrival to the Dodgers I made the above two fantasy card for him; using both the 1971 and 1987 Topps Baseball card designs. The card on the right is probably my favorite. It's of a very young Rollins (provided through mlb.com).
UPDATE: Reports are swirling that it's Zach Eflin (from the Padres trade) and Dodger 2nd round pick from the 2013 Draft Tom Windle for Jimmy Rollins.

Flirting with Fire (Hot in Chicago #1) by Kate Meader
The first installment in Hot in Chicago, a brand-new, sizzling series from Kate Meader that follows a group of firefighting foster siblings and their blazing hot love interests!
Savvy PR guru Kinsey Taylor has always defined herself by her career, not her gender. That is, until she moved from San Francisco to Chicago to be with her fiancé who thought she wasn't taking her "job" of supporting him in his high-powered career seriously enough—and promptly dumped her for a more supportive and "feminine" nurse. Now, as the new assistant press secretary to Chicago's dynamic mayor, she's determined to keep her eye on the prize: no time to feel inferior because she's a strong, kick-ass woman, and certainly no time for men.
But that all changes when she meets Luke Almeida, a firefighter as searingly sexy as he is quick-tempered. He's also the second oldest of the Firefightin' Dempseys, a family of foster siblings who have committed their lives to the service—if Luke's antics don't get him fired first. When Luke goes one step too far and gets into a bar brawl with the Chicago Police Department, Kinsey marches into Luke's firehouse and lays down the law on orders from the mayor. But at Engine Co. 6, Luke Almeida is the law. And he's not about to let Kinsey make the rules.

How Aldesleukin works, side effects, interactions and precautions.
Aldesleukin injection must be given in a hospital or medical facility under the supervision of a doctor who is experienced in giving chemotherapy medications for cancer.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will order certain tests before and during your treatment to see if it is safe for you to receive aldesleukin injection and to check your body's response to aldesleukin injection.
Aldesleukin may cause a severe and life-threatening reaction called capillary leak syndrome (a condition that causes the body to keep excess fluid, low blood pressure, and low levels of a protein [albumin] in the blood) which may result in damage to your heart, lungs, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract. Capillary leak syndrome may occur immediately after aldesleukin is given. If you experience any of the following symptoms, tell your doctor immediately: swelling of the hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs; weight gain; shortness of breath; fainting; dizziness or lightheadedness; confusion; bloody or black, tarry, sticky stools; chest pain; fast or irregular heartbeat.
Aldesleukin may cause a decrease in the number of white blood cells in the blood. A decrease in the number of white blood cells in your body may increase the risk that you will develop a serious infection. If you experience any of the following symptoms, tell your doctor immediately: fever, chills, sore throat, cough, frequent or painful urination, or other signs of infection.
Aldesleukin may affect the nervous system and can cause coma. If you experience any of the following symptoms, tell your doctor immediately: extreme sleepiness or tiredness.
Aldesleukin is used to treat advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC, a type of cancer that begins in the kidney) that has spread to other parts of your body. Aldesleukin is also used to treat melanoma (a type of skin cancer) that has spread to other parts of your body. Aldesleukin is in a class of drugs known as cytokines. It is a man-made version of a naturally occurring protein that stimulates the body to produce other chemicals which increase the body's ability to fight cancer.
Aldesleukin comes as a powder to be mixed with liquid to be injected over intravenously (into a vein) over 15 minutes by a doctor or nurse in a hospital. It is usually injected every 8 hours for 5 days in a row (a total of 14 injections). This cycle may be repeated after 9 days. The length of treatment depends on how well your body responds to treatment.
Your doctor may need to delay or permanently stop your treatment if you experience certain side effects. You will be carefully monitoring during your treatment with aldesleukin. It is important for you to tell your doctor how you are feeling during your treatment with aldesleukin.
tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to aldesleukin, any other medications, or any of the ingredients in aldesleukin injection. Ask your pharmacist for a list of the ingredients.
tell your doctor and pharmacist what other prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking or plan to take. Be sure to mention any of the following: beta blockers such as atenolol (Tenormin), labetalol (Normodyne), metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol XL), nadolol (Corgard), and propranolol (Inderal); certain cancer chemotherapy medications such as asparaginase (Elspar), cisplatin (Platinol), dacarbazine (DTIC-dome), doxorubicin (Doxil), interferon-alfa (Pegasys, PEG-Intron), methotrexate (Rheumatrex, Trexall), and tamoxifen (Nolvadex); medications for high blood pressure; medications for nausea and vomiting; narcotics and other pain medications; sedatives, sleeping pills, and tranquilizers; steroids such as dexamethasone (Decadron, Dexone), methylprednisolone (Medrol), and prednisone (Deltasone); and steroid creams, lotions, or ointments such as hydrocortisone (Cortizone, Westcort). Also tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the medications you are taking so they can check whether any of your medications may increase the risk that you will develop kidney or liver damage during your treatment with aldesleukin.
tell your doctor if you have ever had seizures, gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding requiring surgical treatment, or other serious GI, heart, nervous system, or kidney problems after you received aldesleukin or if you have ever had an organ transplant (surgery to replace an organ in the body). Your doctor may not want you to receive aldesleukin.
tell your doctor if you have or have ever had seizures, Crohn's disease, scleroderma (a disease that affects the tissues that support skin and internal organs), thyroid disease, arthritis, diabetes, myasthenia gravis (a disease that weakens muscles), or cholecystitis (inflammation of the gall bladder that causes severe pain).
tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while receiving aldesleukin, call your doctor. You should not breast-feed while receiving aldesleukin.
Aldesleukin may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
If you are having x-rays, tell the doctor that you are receiving aldesleukin therapy.


"Bezos is right: gatekeepers are inherently élitist, and some of them have been weakened, in no small part, because of their complacency and short-term thinking. But gatekeepers are also barriers against the complete commercialization of ideas, allowing new talent the time to develop and learn to tell difficult truths. When the last gatekeeper but one is gone, will Amazon care whether a book is any good?" Read the full article in The New Yorker.
