Can a Swedish librarian find happiness with a man who owns a manure-spreader, or is he just shoveling — ?
Benny & Shrimp. By Katarina Mazetti. Translated from the Swedish by Sarah Death. Penguin / Pam Dorman. 221 pp., $14, paperback.
By Janice Harayda
This frothy romantic comedy is a Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society with Swedish meatballs. Benny Söderström is an unmarried dairy farmer who owns a manure-spreader and boasts, "If you've read one book, you've read them all, and I read one last year!" Desirée Wallin is a widowed librarian who likes modernist furniture and talking about the literary theories of Jacques Lacan. The two lovelorn Swedes, both in early middle-age, meet at a cemetery where Benny visits his mother's grave and Desirée her husband's. And if you can't see where this novel is going by the end of the first chapter, you're probably still shocked that Julia Roberts got together with Richard Gere in Pretty Woman.
But like The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, Benny & Shrimp makes use of an interesting narrative device: Katarina Mazetti tells her story not in letters but in chapters narrated antiphonally by Benny and "Shrimp," the farmer's nickname for Desirée. And Mazetti invests her tale with enough wit and vitality to offset some of the contrivances of her plot. Benny might refer to Rigoletto as "that fatso with the sword" after Shrimp tries to couth him up by giving him opera tickets. But you have to admire an unmarried man who, when he opens his refrigerator, has the integrity to admit the truth: "There were things in there that probably could have walked out on their own."
Best line: "You could lobotomize him with the power saw and nobody would notice the difference."
Worst line: It's hard to imagine a Swedish farmer saying, even in translation, "Blimey" and "not bloody likely!"
Published: August 2008
Reading group guide: Penguin has posted discussion questions that include comments by Mazetti.
Caveat lector: This book was based on an advance reader's edition. Some material in the finished book may differ.
Furthermore: Mazetti is a Swedish radio producer and author of books for children and adults. Benny & Shrimp was a bestseller and inspired a movie in Sweden. And yes, this novel about people who meet in a cemetery was translated by "Sarah Death."

Newcastle couple wakes to find sinkhole in yard
Sinkhole caused pond to drain onto couple's property
A Newcastle couple is reacting after finding a sinkhole on their property.
When Mark Korb woke up Sunday morning, he noticed the man-made pond on his property didn't look the way it did when he went to bed.
"This looks like the moon," said Korb, pointing at a sinkhole that caused a pond to drain onto his property.
A few years ago, Korb drained the pond with a pump, he said. The project took him seven days to complete.
The sinkhole emptied the pond much faster: "I would guess probably four to five hours for this whole area to drain," Korb said.
Now, he's trying to figure out what made the earth cave in on his property near Dutch Ravine, in an area that's commonly referred to as "Gold County."
A sinkhole is defined as movement of the ground downward, Sierra College Professor of Geology Alex Amigo said.
However, in this case, he said, it was probably not caused by groundwater dissolving material.
"There was such a lot of mining activity going on in this area in the past, that we never know when there was a man-made cavity underground," Amigo said.
There could have been a pre-existing fracture, or a fracture that formed -- ultimately, causing the sinkhole.
Korb is now looking into how to deal with the sinkhole.
He's also doing research on this history of his Newcastle property.

With analysts and economists invariably incorrect in their reported expectations of important data, I must reiterate how it's better to keep your mouth shut and be considered ignorant, than to open it and remove all doubt. The incorrect expectations of the employment numbers prompted a market action that, upon issuance of the actual report, caused a reaction.
Prior to last week's report on job creation, the expectation was for 190,000 to 200,000. When the actual number was issued for only 88,000 jobs, the U.S. equity markets sold off sharply and the government bond yields declined dramatically, pushing bond prices sharply higher. This was all unnecessary had no expectation been issued and the market was allowed to disseminate the actual figures.
The U.S. labor participation rate is the lowest since 1979 and formed the basis for the reduction in the U.S. labor rate of 7.6% from 7.7%. The Friday jobs created figure of 88,000 was a disappointment to market watchers and was not conducive to an economic recovery or labor improvement. Half a million unemployed workers stopped looking for jobs in March, allowing for the cut in the jobless rate. The consumer confidence index fell to 59.7% in March against 68.0% in February.
Cause and effect….
Cause: Consumers are spending "someone else's money" at an alarming rate. Consumer debt in February increased by a seasonally adjusted $18.1 billion, the biggest since last August according to the U.S. Federal Reserve. That compares with January's $12.7 billion gain. Monthly debt increased at the rate of 7.8% in February after the 5.5% in January. The gain was unexpected by economists. The gain in consumer credit for February was prompted by non-revolving debt such as auto loans, personal loans and student loans. That gain was up by $17.6 billion or 10.9%, the biggest since July of 2011.
Effect: The "usual suspect" of using one new credit card to pay the minimum on an old credit card is a program that spells "financial suicide" but prompted by both the unemployed and the "under-employed", those that took jobs paying substantially less than the job they lost. The time to "pay the piper" is fast approaching.
Meanwhile the "sabre rattling" from North Korea continues as they prepare to "test" another rocket with questionable capabilities. The U.S. has 28,000 troops in harms way in South Korea within range of the North Korean missiles. We can only hope that the "fools" in the North recognized the futility of attacking the South and the U.S. I can only hope that should they make that "mistake" that the U.S. military delivers a "crushing blow" should retaliation be necessary.
Interest Rates: The June U.S. treasury bond closed at 147 26/32nds, up 1 and 15/32nds with yields posting the lowest rate in nearly four months. The weaker than expected jobs created report lent credence to our expectation of a slowing economy in the U.S. Once again the figure on Thursday of first time unemployment applications was up 28,000 to 385,000, an indication of "jobs lost" which the media fails to correlate with the "jobs created".
The significance of a weekly jobs lost figure against the monthly jobs created figure is completely overlooked by the media trying, in my opinion, to allay the fears of the investing public. It is not working…..
Stock Indices: The Jones Industrials closed at 14,585.25, down 40,.86 but immediately after the jobs report the Dow sold off 175 points. The S&P 500 closed at 1,553.00 down 7.00 and the tech heavy Nasdaq closed at 3,204, down 21.00. The disappointment at the jobs created data showing 88,000 jobs in March against anal-yst expectations of 190,000 prompted the sharp negative reaction in equities. Discouraged workers left the workforce in record numbers and prompted the unemployment rate downtick from 7.7% to 7.6%, a number I feel is "meaningless". We continue to expect a sharp correction in the markets with a potential decline of 15-20% and corresponding trillion dollar value loss. We strongly urge the implementation of hedging strategies for holders of large equity portfolios. Call or email for specific program information.
Currencies: The June U.S. dollar index closed at 82.65, down 14.5 points tied to the disappointing U.S. economic data. The sharp rally in treasuries prompted the decline in yields which detracts from dollar investment. However, even as we believe the U.S. economy is 'faltering", relative to the problems we see in Europe and with our other trading partners, the U.S. economy is in better condition. Stay with the dollar. Other currencies gaining included the Euro, up 59 points to $1.3003, the Swiss Franc 63 points to $1.0714, and the British pound 98 points to $1.5328. Losses were posted for the Japanese yen against the dollar, closing at .10245, down 161, points, the Canadian dollar 46 points to .9821, and the Australian dollar 32 points to $1.0338. The Canadian dollar lost against the U.S. currency after it unexpectedly lost jobs by the most since the last recession four years ago. The Asian currencies fell the most since January as their policy makers proposed measures intended to weaken their exchange rates to improve their export picture. We continue to favor the U.S. dollar.
Energies: May crude oil closed at $93.05 per barrel, down 21c tied to the weaker than expected U.S. March employment data showing jobs grew by only 88,000 against expectations for average estimates of 190,000 to 200,000 jobs. Crude oil as well as Heating oil and Gasoline declined since reduced jobs are not conducive to increased demand for energy products. We hold to our bearish expectations with an "eye" to the potential for hostilities from North Korea and the continuing concern over Iranian nuclear ambitions and the possible Israeli attack on those facilities.
Copper: May copper closed at $3.3425 per pound, down 90 points tied to the weak U.S. economic data, concerns over China's growth, and the reduced exports for one of the largest copper producers, Chile. The port strike in Chile which started March 16th is curtailing Chilean exports by 60%. Even so global demand is not improving as well so our feeling is for still lower prices for copper. We have been bearish for copper for some time and no reason to change our opinion.
Precious Metals: June gold closed at $1,579.20 per ounce, up $26.80 on the disappointing U.S. jobs report, the selloff in equities, the U.S. dollar weakness, shortcovering after recent sharp declines and the flight to "safety" of risk adverse assets. Gold still managed a loss of 1.2% for the week. We continue to prefer the sidelines. I sold my one ounce gold Eagles at $1,747 and not buying them back….yet. May silver closed at $27.345 per ounce, up 47.8c for the same reasons as gold. A weakening U.S. economy would prompt the U.S. Federal Reserve to continue to implement QE bond buying which pushes rates lower and negates dollar attraction. While we favor the dollar against its trading partners we view the global economic condition as weak and void of any inflationary concerns which normally would assist gold and other precious metals. Stay out for now. June palladium closed at $727.85, up $2.40 an ounce while July platinum gained $20.80 per ounce to close at $1,538.60. We are abandoning our long palladium short platinum spread for now.
Next page: Ags and softs report
Grains and Oilseeds: May corn closed at $6.28 ¾ per bushel, down 1 1/4c on continued long liquidation even against a weak dollar. The recent USDA report was negative and we so new reason for expending change for now. We prefer the sidelines. May wheat closed at $6.99 ½ per bushel, up 5 1/2c mostly tied to shortcovering and the weak dollar but here again we see no reason to "jump in" at current levels. The last couple of session gains not enough to move us to the long side. Stay out for now. May soybeans closed at $13.62 per bushel, down another 10c even against the weak dollar. Recent dollar strength has moved demand from the U.S. to Brazil and Argentina and concern over reduced demand from China tied to their "bird flu" issue pressuring prices for soybeans. We prefer the sidelines here as well.
Meats: June cattle closed at $1.21550, down 80 points after some sporadic cash steer buying tied to packer competition for slaughter inventory. The sharp selloff over the past months that took prices down from $1.33 per pound level made an interim bottom and prompted shortcovering and some new buying. We like cattle but would only buy minimally and using stop protection. With the summer 'barbecue season" not far off, we could see some buying to replenish some inventories. June hogs closed at 89.4c per pound, down 2.625c on long liquidation and new short positions tied to potential decline for pork by China. We continue to favor the sidelines in hogs.
Coffee, Cocoa and Sugar: May coffee closed at $1.4045 per pound, up 95 points on recent buying from the $1.32 level. The recent strength was tied to concern of possible crop production cuts in Vietnam and Central America due to drought and rust problem. We like coffee from here after having been "absent" from this market for some time. Use stop protection. May cocoa closed at $2,130 per tonne, down $11.00 on long liquidation tied to the prospect of improved crop prospects in Ivory Coast, the world's largest grower of cocoa beans, any production gains impacts prices. Stay out for now. May sugar closed at 17.73c per pound, up 8 ticks on light shortcovering but prices remain near recent lows tied to surplus concerns. We prefer the sidelines until fundamentals improve.
Cotton: May cotton closed at 86.65c per pound, down 1.68c on profittaking after recent strength that saw prices gain almost 15% since the beginning of the year. Strong demand from China had been a major factor but with "bird flu" concerns impacting demand for commodities by China, we prefer the sidelines now after having been bullish for some time. The USDA report last week suggested U.S. farmers would be planting fewer acres had prompted the buying was not enough to offset the demand concerns.

Does her acting debut mark new chapter for Pink?
LOS ANGELES — Alecia Moore, better known as Grammy-winning singer Pink, makes her acting debut in "Thanks for Sharing." But the 34-year-old isn't pursuing other roles. She isn't even in a rush to make more music.
"I don't know what I'm going to do from here," she said during a break from her "Truth About Love" tour to promote her first film. "I don't know if I'll do anything right away or maybe I'll just make another baby. I don't know. Maybe I did what I was supposed to do... I would have just continued to do (entertainment) forever, but now I could see myself scrubbing the floors in a preschool bathroom. I could totally see that."
Her daughter, Willow, starts preschool next year.
First, though, is the exhilaration that comes with successfully doing something new. After turning down offers to portray a "convict, runaway, the girl that beat somebody up, the girl that stops somebody from getting beat up," Moore took on the challenge of playing a character writer-director Stuart Blumberg actually based on her.
"I had this idea for this female character who was like Pink," Blumberg said. "Who was tough ... on the outside and sensitive and kind of vulnerable on the inside. Sometimes it just helps to have somebody in mind to make you hone and just have a really specific character."
He asked her to audition "because we were a little scared," but she nailed it.
Moore touched her heart when she said she was drawn to Blumberg's story of sex addicts seeking recovery because of how many friends she's personally lost to addiction. Among an ensemble cast that includes Mark Ruffalo, Gwyneth Paltrow and Tim Robbins, she plays Dede, a tattooed hairdresser whose confessional monologue at a sex addicts' 12-step group leads to an important relationship with one of its members.
Still, just because she was playing a character she inspired doesn't mean it was easy.
"It was not a stretch, but it also wasn't me and it wasn't my story, so it was a challenge for me because I've never done anything like that before," she said. "I have a really, really shy side, and when I don't know what I'm doing necessarily, I'm not this scary, aggressive, intimidating person that people think I am. So my biggest challenge is getting out of my own way."
In music, Billboard's Woman of the Year knows exactly what she's doing: Touring through December to support her double-platinum album, "The Truth About Love," which features the hit song (and video) "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)."
But with "Thanks for Sharing," which opens Friday, "it's not mine and I don't know how to critique myself," she said. "I'm trying not to tear myself apart is basically where I'm at. I was relieved when people didn't rip me to shreds." Moore said she drew on real emotions for her acting debut — "Like what part of this is breaking my heart? That's where I went with it." Working with her co-star Josh Gad only sweetened the experience.
"He was so funny that once I was with him I didn't really have a lot of chance to be nervous or freaked out at all because I was just trying not to laugh," she said.
Ultimately, she's happy she tried acting: "It was like my first skydive: I'm just glad I got it done. I'm glad I did it."
She'd even do it again "if the right thing comes along and I thought it would do some good in the world, then yeah. Maybe." Pink is set to wrap her tour in Montreal on Dec. 3. (On the Pink/Alecia Moore distinction, she said: "Pink is what people call me referring to music... Outside of that, I'm Alecia or mom.") She'll accept the Billboard honors the following week.
"To get that nod and say, 'We see you,' makes me feel really happy," she said. "For it to be at the end of my tour, at the end of an album, at the end of maybe an era for me, that that's the way I go out."

Yreka Miners cross country team: Miners ready to compete at state
The Yreka Miners cross country team is determined to make some noise at the 2012 CIF State Cross Country Championships on Saturday at Woodward Park in Fresno.
Last year, the Miners earned the Division 4 boys state title for the first time in school history.
Despite losing a number of key seniors from last year, the boys squad has had a strong year in 2012. This includes taking first in Division 4 and second overall at the Northern Section Cross Country Championships at West Valley High in Cottonwood.
Also, all four divisions for Yreka High, boys and girls varsity and boys and girls junior varsity took the top spot at the Northern Athletic League Finals. Besides the boys team, the girls squad also earned a berth to state by placing second in Division 4 in the section championship.
In state cross country rankings published by PrepCalTrack.com, the Miner boys were ranked No. 2 overall in Division 4.
"Yreka is clearly running its best of the season at just the right time and will aim to successfully defend its state title of a year ago," the story said.
Head coach Pam Borg said that practices have gone "really well" this week for both the boys and girls squads. The team has been running strong and Borg believes they will be prepared come Saturday.
"They're ready to go," she said.
Borg said that the boys squad has a good chance of earning a top three finish this year, which means they would take the podium again this year.
Borg believes that if the top five racers can perform at a high level, especially in the No. 5 slot and run to their abilities, she thinks that Saturday will be a good day. Borg said while her team has been running fairly fast this year it will be a challenge come Saturday with a number of top schools competing that are looking even stronger than they were last year.
This is the first year junior Cody Griffith will be competing at state. Previously he was an alternate.
"I'm excited and ready to race," Griffith said. As an alternative, he has already ran the course, which he believes will help him on Saturday.
"I feel like I'll be well prepared because I know the course," he said.
Last year in state the girls finished second to last in Division 4. Borg believes while young, this year's group should be able to improve on that and have a solid day of running.
She said that the girls have done a good job of steadily improving this season and is excited to see what they can do on Saturday.
Junior Rachel Wiley competed in state last season and is excited to be returning.
"I really like the course," she said. And, she excitedly said, the forecast for Saturday is around 60 degrees, which are solid running conditions.
On Sunday, members of the Miners cross country squad are competing in Folsom in the Sacramento area at the USATF Pacific Association Junior Olympic Cross Country Championships. Borg said that this is the first year members of the Yreka team have competed in this event.

The theft of iPhones and iPads is so widespread it's known as "Apple Picking."
But Apple devices aren't the only targets. Nearly one in three robberies nationwide involves the theft of a mobile phone, according to the Federal Communications Commission. The problem is so severe in their cities that San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón and New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman this summer convened a "smartphone summit" to urge the smartphone industry to implement technological solutions to thwart the robberies.
Now some makers of wireless mobile devices, notably Apple and Samsung, are taking steps to fight back against the thieves.
Apple's new iOS 7 mobile operating system, includes a security feature called Activation Lock that automatically works with the free Find My iPhone feature. Find My iPhone is built into iOS 7 and can be enabled in Settings.
Activation Lock basically ties your devices to your Apple ID. Criminals who steal phones typically "wipe" the devices clean so they can resell them. Now any thief who wants to turn off Find My iPhone, erase the device or reset the device will be required to enter the Apple ID and password.
Supporters of such security measures say they will discourage thieves from stealing phones because they will not be able to sell them.
Alex Castro, who lives in Oakland, started spreading the word about Activation Lock as a community service as soon as it came out in October.
"A friend's cousin was killed for her iPhone in St. Louis," said Castro, 39. "My goal is to educate others. I had no idea that there was such a black market for smartphones."
Castro notes that Activation Lock won't stop someone from robbing you for your phone. But it will discourage thefts, he says, by making stolen phones "nearly worthless."
"This has the potential to decimate the market for stolen iPhones, and if there is no demand, then there will be no reason for criminals to mug people for their iPhone," he wrote in Oakland Local, a popular community blog.
Oakland resident Dan Jewett lost an Apple laptop when his home was burglarized. He's glad that Apple enhanced the security of the iPhone and would like to see other smartphone makers follow suit.
"We all carry so much personal info on our phone these days, and you don't want that in a criminal's hands," said Jewett. "It is time for corporate citizens to step up and make these phones into paperweights for those who steal them."
Activation Lock also has won praise from law enforcement officials.
"We are pleased that Apple released a mobile operating system that includes a theft deterrent feature called Activation Lock," San Francisco DA Gascon said in a statement. "This is an important first step toward ending the global epidemic of smartphone theft."
Gascon's office is urging iPhone users in San Francisco to download iOS 7, and hopes that other manufacturers will follow Apple's lead.
"iPhones are not the only devices targeted, which is why we continue to pressure the other leading manufacturers of smartphones to quickly implement effective theft deterrents that protect their customers from violent crime," he said.
Samsung partners with Absolute Software, which sells device tracking and recovery software and services for PCs, laptops and mobile devices. Samsung's Galaxy S4 smartphone includes Absolute software that allows owners to remotely delete files and lock down the stolen device, rendering it useless to thieves.
If you lose your iPhone or if it is stolen, Apple advises trying to locate the device using Find My iPhone. You can also put the device in "Lost Mode," and keep track of its location and indicate to anyone who comes across it that the device has been lost or stolen. And if you want to delete all of your personal information from your missing device, you can erase it remotely.
Apple says that because Activation Lock requires an Apple ID and password to turn off Find My iPhone, the chances of getting a lost or stolen phone back are improved because the layer of security may cause "finders keepers" to think twice. "This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it," Apple says on its website. "Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission."
And what if you forget your password? You can reset it at My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com) or by contacting Apple Support and going through the steps to verify your identity.
In late September, robbers targeted commuters standing in a casual carpool line in Oakland's affluent Rockridge neighborhood, snatching smartphones and other valuables at gunpoint. The brazen robbery, which happened before 9 a.m., shook a city already struggling with one of the nation's highest robbery rates.
While installing Activation Lock should help reduce such incidents, police officers warn that people need to be more aware of their surroundings. If you're walking alone and using a smartphone, you could become the victim of a crime.
"There's a black market for stolen phones," said Sgt. Arturo Bautista, a public information officer for the Oakland Police Department. "If you don't have to use your phone in public, don't use it. Wait until you get to a safe place."
What to do if your apple device goes missing:
If you misplace your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, the Find My iPhone feature will let you use another device with an Apple iOS operating system to find it and protect your data. Activate Find My iPhone on the other Apple device if it's running iOS 7 — or install the free Find My iPhone app if the device is running an earlier version of iOS. Then open it and sign in with the Apple ID you use for iCloud. Find My iPhone will help you locate your missing device on a map, remotely lock it, or erase all the data on it.

Apple's activation lock
Apple's recently released iOS 7 mobile operating system includes a new security feature called Activation Lock, which works with the Find My iPhone feature to make it more difficult for anyone to use or sell your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch once it's gone missing or has been stolen. To turn off Find My iPhone or erase the device for resale, a thief would need your Apple ID and password. The Find My iPhone feature is built into iOS 7, but you must enable it on your device for Activation Lock to work. To activate the Find My iPhone on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch:
Go to Settings
Tap iCloud
Sign in with your Apple ID
Turn on Find My iPhone
Activation Lock starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7.

Class snapshot: 'Ethics and Public Health'
Class: "Ethics and Public Health"
Instructor: Jason Schwartz is the Harold T. Shapiro Postdoctoral Research Associate in Bioethics and a lecturer in the University Center for Human Values. Schwartz, a member of Princeton's Class of 2003, focuses his research on the role values and value judgments play in decision-making in public health and medicine. As an undergraduate, Schwartz concentrated in classics, pursued a pre-med course of study and served for three years on the Undergraduate Honor Committee. "In different ways all three of those interests coalesced in my graduate work and, more recently, led me to focus on the role of ethics and values and humanistic approaches to understanding contemporary health and medicine," he said. Schwartz spent 2010-11 as a research analyst for the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues. He earned his Ph.D. in 2012 from the University of Pennsylvania in the history and sociology of science.
Description: The course — being taught for the first time this semester — examines issues at the intersection of ethics, policy and public health, with a focus on the tension between individual rights and the common good in these areas. Students consider the proper role of government in promoting the health of individuals and communities through such topics as mandatory vaccination laws, taxes on soft drinks, tobacco regulation and health-reform efforts.
The class attracts students from a range of academic disciplines, including philosophy, anthropology, engineering, and ecology and evolutionary biology. And during a class session this month, students drew on a diverse set of experiences as well — from work in a Native American health clinic in the United States to research in Sierra Leone in West Africa.
"There's great energy, great investment in the U.S. and around the world in thinking about public health approaches to improving the health of communities and individuals," Schwartz said. "This course gives me the chance to introduce students who have thought about health as a scientific, public policy or philosophical issue to integrate those perspectives and highlight the ways values shape public health decisions and are shaped by them — highlighting the spectrum of ethical considerations that go into how scientists, public health officials and citizens think about public health today."
A focus on vaccines: Schwartz has done extensive research on ethical issues surrounding vaccines, including the controversy about the risks and benefits of a rotavirus vaccine, substance abuse vaccines and vaccine refusal. Discussion during a class session this month touched on those issues and more from a variety of perspectives. Schwartz opened a recent class with a personal example that emphasized the significant role of individual decision-making about vaccines.
"This is a topic I've thought about from a theoretical perspective for a long time," Schwartz said. "But just last night I was sitting in a pediatrician's office with my expectant wife for an orientation session and, of course, one of the topics that came up among the couples sitting there was the question about vaccines.
"Someone asked about the safety of the vaccines, and the physician leading the session said he has given the vaccines to his children and all the physicians in the practice believe wholeheartedly in the importance of following the evidence-based recommendations of the pediatric professional group and the CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]. We know this is happening all the time in doctors' offices — parental concern, parental confusion about vaccination issues."
Such concerns about the risks — and perceived risks — of childhood vaccines make discussions about vaccine promotion and compulsion ethically rich, Schwartz said, especially given the dangers of vaccine-preventable diseases and the risk that vaccine avoidance can make the population as a whole more susceptible to those diseases.
Students say: Teguru Tembo, a senior concentrating in ecology and evolutionary biology, said he is drawn to the vaccine issue as part of a broader interest in how scientific discovery is portrayed in the media and understood by the public.
"In the scientific community, the vast majority of people accept these three things: the theory of evolution through natural selection; man-made climate change is occurring; and vaccines do not cause autism. However, in the general public, these issues are much more hotly debated," Tembo said. "I am interested in looking at the intersection of science and the media and determining where the disconnect arises. I also look forward to determining the ethical implications of attempting to implement public health interventions when the public is unable or unwilling to accept scientific conclusions. Is coercion justified? Is it paternalistic to make people do something for their own good? Vaccine policy seems like a particularly good topic since it will allow me to realize my goal for this course: merging my interests in ethics, health and science."
Cecilia Di Caprio, a junior concentrating in sociology who is pursuing a certificate in African American studies, said she has benefited from the different perspectives of her classmates. "We have some people from the philosophy department who are able to give fantastic insights into the ethical theories that we base our discussions on," she said. "Some molecular biology majors and engineers give practical accounts of the specific medical and science issues we talk about, and we also have people from the social sciences who provide other points of view when we discuss specific cases in history or hypothetical situations."

The Pul-i-Khaju at Isfahan.
The use of a bridge to serve also as a dam is not uncommon in Persia, where the scarcity of water necessitates impounding it in reservoirs for irrigation of the land (H. Shirley 26).
travellers made their parched and dusty way through thte guarded gateways of the bridge, seeking rest and refreshment in teh cool shaded pavilions and caravanserai to be found upon it. For to the Persians, bridges were much more than simply a means of crossing a river. By the seventeenth century some of them, such as the Allahverdi-Khan and Pul-i-Khaju, were designed as delightful retreats form teh heat and dust of the desert (H. Shirley 27).
The superstructure is built on a dam which impounds the river to a height fo six feet. From this reservoir irrigation channels lead the water to the fertile lands on either side. The dam is of stone, pierced by narrow openings, the flow through which is regulated by sluices. The bridge is 85 feet wide and consists of some twenty-four brick arches with an overall length of 462 feet... Together with Old London bridge in its prime and the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, it constitutes one fo the great bridges that were closely linked by the buildings on them to the multitudinous life of their times (H. Shirley 28).
Perrine's Bridge
New York
Perrine's Bridge is the second oldest bridge in the State of New York, after the Hyde Hall Bridge in East Springfield. Once located in the hamlet called Perrines Bridge between 1850 and 1861. It is located in the modern day town of Esopus-Rosendale, New York just a few hundred feet to the east of Interstate 87 crossing of the Wallkill River in Ulster County, New York. Originally built to aid in the movement of trade between the towns of Rifton and Rosendale, the bridge is about two hours northwest of New York city between mile markers 81 and 82 on the New York State Thruway (I-87).

Residents begin to dig through what remains of their homes and businesses
As residents returned to town for the first time Monday, they found a scene more alarming than the sirens that sounded Friday night alerting them to the powerful tornado that leveled Greensburg.
A heavily damaged Kiowa County Courthouse on the south end of town and a
concrete silo to the north serve as two of the largest remaining landmarks
for the town's 1,400 residents after the F-5 tornado with estimated winds of
205 mph swept a mile-wide path through the town.
In place of street signs, spray paint on the pavement directs drivers and
pedestrians. Pummeled vehicles peek out from the rubble and scattered
remains of homes. Trees stripped of their leaves and broken like twigs line
block after block.
In most spots it's difficult to tell where the debris from one home stops
and the next begins.
As Susan Staats sifted through photos dug from the remains of her Main
Street house, she said, "It's so overwhelming. You don't even know where to
"You have people coming by to offer help, but you don't know where to begin,
so you don't know how they can help."
She and her family dug through the rubble Monday, the first time
people not associated with search and rescue efforts were allowed in
Greensburg since the town was evacuated Friday. A young man was able to retrieve items from the family's destroyed vehicles. And despite warnings against entering the
home, sitting at least 15 feet from the basement it once topped, Staats'
husband made his way into the wreckage.
Rhonda Hammond didn't have the option to enter her new home on South Walnut.
Instead, she dug through shards of the wood home, finding the occasional
"I'm finding more than I thought I would," she said, showing off several
bracelets she had unearthed. "It's sad. It's like the stuff that made it you
don't want, and the stuff you do want is destroyed."
Hammond also had found several rings buried in her muddy yard.
"But, you know, I can't go over every inch of the yard," she said, knowing
that she will eventually have to let many of her belongings go.
The one thing Hammond desperately wanted to locate one way or the other was
her dog Toby. Sadly, she found the pet dead in the debris.
The last time George and Kay Towner of East Wisconsin Avenue saw their home
it was still standing. But that was Friday night.
"I'm just hoping it's still standing," George Towner said, noting that it
was in bad shape at the time.
The couple had already located their van, though. Once parked in front of the
town's senior center, where they took cover during the tornado, it perched
up top the toppled block walls of the building afterward.
In all of the chaos, residents of the town were finding support.
Owners of one business, one of only three remaining, have opened
their building to folks who have recovered their belongings but have nowhere to store the items.
The Staats family has found temporary housing in nearby Pratt through a local contractor
with an open rental.
And an overwhelmed Hammond has a sister helping her drudge through her
belongings to decide what is worth saving.
At the same time, residents are trying to figure out how to balance their
grief and their need to move forward.
Staats, a teacher in town, said she knows a school custodian and a friend
are among the 10 who died in the tornado.
"It's hard. You want to be there for (the families), but you need to be
here," she said, continuing her search for whatever her family could find.

LONDON – One semifinalist is rebounding from a taxing five-set comeback. Another was so overwhelmed to reach the final four, he sat on the court and wept. One more has a knee that's being kept in action through the miracles of ice baths, athletic tape and painkillers.
And then there's Novak Djokovic.
Of the four men preparing for Friday's semifinals at Wimbledon, nobody has had skated through a less-taxing road than the top-ranked and top-seeded Serb, who remains the odds-on favorite to win his seventh Grand Slam title.
"Coming into the semifinals, I feel physically fresh," said Djokovic, who has won all 15 sets he's played and averaged less than two hours per match, the lowest total of any of the final four.
"And I'm ready. Plenty of motivation to win every match that I play here."
Djokovic will play eighth-seeded Juan Martin del Potro, who also hasn't dropped a set in his first five matches at Wimbledon, but is the opposite of "fresh" — dealing with the effects of hyperextending his left knee twice: First in a match last Saturday, then again in his quarterfinal victory over David Ferrer.
The other men's semifinal pits No. 24 Jerzy Janowicz, a 22-year-old from Poland who is making his deepest run at a Grand Slam, against No. 2 Andy Murray, who came back from two sets down to beat Fernando Verdasco and advance to his fifth straight Wimbledon semifinal.
Murray got himself into quite a bind in the Verdasco match, but he slowed things down to make a meticulous comeback. He was on the court for 3 hours, 27 minutes to bring his total to 11 hours, 59 minutes, the most of the four semifinalists.
How big a toll will all that take?
"You never know," Murray said. "The next match will be different from the one today. Who knows? Some of the guys, like Novak, (haven't) lost a set yet. I'm sure he's pretty happy with where his game is at just now. I'm happy to be in the semis. Regardless of whether it's been five sets or the first matches were in three sets, it makes no difference."
Murray is trying to reach the final in the fourth straight Grand Slam he has played. (He missed this year's French Open because of a back injury). He carries the hopes of a nation with him every time he steps on the court at Wimbledon. No British man has won the country's Grand Slam since Fred Perry in 1936.
Janowicz is well aware of that.
"I hope Andy will feel some kind of pressure," he said. "I'm sure he'll feel some kind of pressure because Great Britain is waiting for the (British) champion in Wimbledon."
Janowicz knows all about the feeling of playing for a country.
In an all-Polish quarterfinal, he defeated Lukasz Kubot in a match he called "one of the toughest matches of my life."
"I was never in a quarterfinal before. I never had a chance to be in the semifinal of a Grand Slam. I never played against Lukasz before," Janowicz said in describing the emotions of the match.
When it was over, he traded shirts with Kubot, soccer-style, then sat in his chair and wept.
"You are practicing and working for that kind of moment," Janowicz said. "So in my case, it's not easy for me to control these emotions."
On Friday, he will be the "other" player in the match against Murray on Centre Court.
But Janowicz does have this: a win over Murray last year in Paris, where he made a run to the final that catapulted him more than 200 spots in the rankings to the top 25.
"Definitely not an easy match," Janowicz said. "What can I say? We'll see. I was able to win one match against him last year, so I hope I'm going to be able to do it one more time."
Del Potro's issues are more physical than emotional. When he hyperextended his knee and crumpled to the ground on the fifth point of his match against Ferrer, it looked as if he wasn't going to get back up. After a visit from the trainer, he did. But after advancing to his first Grand Slam semifinal since 2009, when he won the U.S. Open, del Potro conceded there was work to be done to get the knee ready for another match.
"I will need to be 100 percent or 110 percent against him," del Potro said. "He's the No. 1. He's a former champion here. It's going to be more difficult match for me like today. But if I'm OK, if I do everything good to be ready for my next match, I will be excited to play against him."
Djokovic leads their series 8-3. But their last meeting at the All England Club came last year in the bronze-medal match of the Olympics, with del Potro winning 7-5, 6-4. Del Potro also won the last time they played, at Indian Wells this year.
On the other hand, Djokovic has won all three matches they've played in Grand Slams, most recently at last year's U.S. Open.
"I have a great respect for him. He's a Grand Slam winner," Djokovic said. "He struggled with injuries in last few years, but every time he comes back he comes back very strong because he just has this talent."
