'Star Wars: Episode IX' Cast Announced; Mark Hamill & Late Carrie Fisher to Return!
By Jake Berlin on July 28, 2018 • ( Leave a comment )
Since that tragic moment we all learned that our Princess, Carrie Fisher, had passed on to something better, outside of mourning, we've questioned how the character of Leia Organa would be pushed forward in the Star Wars galaxy. There have been many theories, ideas and possible ways it could happen, and even with Lucasfilm officially cancelling out the CGI route, it was still the biggest question in this franchise. Luckily for us, the studio has answered that question as they've revealed the official cast and start date for J.J. Abrams' untitled Star Wars: Episode IX.
As StarWars.com reveals, Episode IX will officially begin filming next week at Pinewood Studios in London, the home of all of Star Wars filming. Abrams is directing a screenplay that he co-wrote with Chris Terrio (Argo, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice). The kicker here is how the press release was worded, as they said: "J.J. Abrams returns to direct the final installment of the Skywalker saga." The final installment of the Skywalker saga? Let the fanboy cries for help commence! More on this later on.
The big news here is the cast that was announced. The expected names of Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong'o, Domhnall Gleeson, Kelly Marie Tran, Joonas Suotamo, and Billie Lourd are all returning to their respective roles. They will be joined by Star Wars veterans Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Billy Dee Williams and the late Carrie Fisher. Yes, Carrie Fisher will once again be playing the role of Leia, which just feels completely right. Here's what Abrams had to say on this matter:
"We desperately loved Carrie Fisher," says Abrams. "Finding a truly satisfying conclusion to the Skywalker saga without her eluded us. We were never going to recast, or use a CG character. With the support and blessing from her daughter, Billie, we have found a way to honor Carrie's legacy and role as Leia in Episode IX by using unseen footage we shot together in Episode VII."
It's pretty genius of Abrams and the studio to do this. Not only will it make Star Wars fans everywhere extremely happy, it's the best decision the studio has made in months. An off-screen death would have been wrong, and recasting or using a CGI effect a la Tarkin in Rogue One would have felt out of place. With unused footage at their disposal, and what I'm guessing is a lot of it, they can now place Fisher and her Leia perfectly into the story. And it'll allow us fans to witness this beloved character one last time, especially if the Skywalker Saga is coming to a close.
For me, the biggest standout of the list of names above is where Mark Hamill's name is placed. Yes, we all expected it to be included following the ending of The Last Jedi, but especially with J.J. Abrams returning to direct. But these press releases are written out and checked multiple times, meaning everything is where it's suppose to be. Daisy Ridley's Rey and Adam Driver's Kylo Ren are the pivotal piece of these new movies, which is why they're leading the entire cast. So why is Hamill's name leading the veteran cast? There's only one answer, his role is just as sizable as it was in The Last Jedi.
Whaaaat? Yeah, you read that write. Although Luke sacrificed it all and drifted away as the most legendary Jedi to ever live, The Last Jedi proved that force ghosts aren't just ghosts; they can actually interact with the real world. If Episode IX keeps with the theme of breaking the previous boundaries/rules, Abrams could introduce us to more extremely interesting force mythology ideas. Hopefully we'll know more soon.
All the names above will also be joined by Star Wars newcomers Naomi Ackie, Richard E. Grant, and Keri Russell, whose roles have yet to be revealed. And what may be the final time, John Williams will be scoring the film. As I said with the handling of Carrie Fisher, it just feels right. What do you think of this news? How do you feel about the Carrie Fisher reveal? Am I looking too far into Mark Hamill? Sound off below in the comments! Abrams' Star Wars: Episode IX will be released in December 2019.

Top Ten Single Season Defenses in NFL History : #5 1991 Philadelphia Eagles

Whither Johnny Manziel – Kicked out of Manning Passing Academy
July 17, 2013 by The Chancellor of Football
Returning Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel.
Early last December we had the first redshirt freshman win the Heisman Trophy. Everyone marveled at "Johnny Football's" mobility in and out of the pocket. His touch once he threw the football during games, and a slew of YouTube tricks to marvel at. Yet no one thought of the light that would be shown on a 20 year old kid. The scrutiny that would follow him off the football field has led to an off-season of setbacks. All of which culminated with his removal from the Manning passing camp.
In the ever-changing world of social media, there is light where there has never been before. Any anonymous person, can take a picture of you while in the middle of devouring a cheeseburger, and link it to the rest of the world via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc… Caught in this lurch are the first generation of athletes who can't escape the limelight of the media, now that the American populace has become a part of it. Athletes are having to mature faster and think quicker on their feet in regards to what their actions can possibly cause.
Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram had just cooled from the Pouncey twins sporting "Free Hernandez" ball caps. This of course in reference to former Florida Gator teammate Aaron Hernandez, who has been accused of murder. Now comes the story of Manziel being released from the camp run by the Mannings. He's been blown up on social media for a series of transgressions this off-season. Pictures of him in drinking establishments although he's not 21. The rest of us football fans have taken to social media, to express ourselves about Johnny Manziel and his celebrity.
First and foremost, let's not forget this is a 20 year old who was at a football camp. The camp is there to mentor and train hundreds of prep school and college signal callers about the nuances of playing the position. Of course they were covering 3, 5, 7 step drops, Pistol shotgun mechanics, and footwork. Here is the reigning Heisman Trophy winner attending a football camp to help the next generation.
Although he has a lot of light on him for various reasons, he was kicked out of the camp and now has to deal with the embarrassment on ESPN and social media all alone. The Chancellor of Football's take?? I would think higher of the Mannings had they sat Johnny Manziel down and mentored him about professionalism and kept things in-house. Between Archie, Peyton, and Eli, there is nearly 40 years of NFL experience between them. Just like Johnny, Peyton and Eli grew up affluent also so they could identify with his position. This isn't a poor college student who can only afford to go home and train out of the spotlight only. To boot him out and say"Oh we'd invite him back" while he now has to be a 20 year old in damage control mode. Understand he doesn't have an agent to coach him and he could always say the wrong thing in front of one of these cameras.
Yet lets ask ourselves a question: What were all of us doing at 20 years of age?? Are you kidding?? I went to parties at schools in four different states let alone be a real high profile college KID. Don't let social media warp your level of perspective. Does he need to calm down some?? Yes…why not have some compassion for his situation and sit Johnny down?? The Mannings missed a golden opportunity to mentor him in something more important than football…life.
To get him to slow down and understand how living in the fast lane has derailed many careers, or worse. To know how his life is being scrutinized by future employers. To understand the 15 minutes of fame young girls, and other fans who want to befriend him will do with this instant media, can paint him in a negative light. Naturally someone may say it's not their responsibility to tell him that. The reason they had him there in the first place was they had the platform to teach young quarterbacks about playing football. Why not take it a step further with him instead of let him twist in the wind from a P.R. standpoint?? He has no one around him to tell him NO. He's hanging around other 20 year old kids who are more popular because they hang out with "Johnny Football.' Don't forget there are limited hours his college coaches can talk to him in the off-season due to NCAA regulations. Not one of them could have sat him down for a 15 minute heart to heart conversation??
We do have to keep in perspective that he's only 20 yet let's empathize with what he's dealing with also. If I tapped you on the shoulder and told you I have pics and vids of your behavior to upload to facebook from you at 20, how wide would your eyes get?? Exactly. For what we've heard this off-season give this kid a break, he'll learn from this. The number one thing for him is he's just a few weeks away from where he needs to be… back in school and in the safe haven of practice at Texas A & M. I hope he's learned a couple lessons.
Thanks for reading and share the article.

College Football's Leveled Playing Fields
Marshall Faulk at San Diego State
The changing faces of college football over the last fifteen years has been a unique situation upon the sporting landscape. Gone are the days when the traditional schools would line up and pummel a school from a smaller conference. Don't get us wrong, there are still some lopsided contests but the talent level is closer than in the 1970's,80's, or even the 90's. This is the byproduct of several things.
The first thing was with up to 20 cable televisions showcasing football around the country. Schools could recruit outside their region for talent and deliver the promise that their families and friends could still watch them play. Alternative schools to the traditional powers also offered players the chance to remain at their position of choice. One glaring example of this was when Marshall Faulk was coming out of New Orleans as a high school star.
Tons of schools were recruiting him and one of the heaviest was Florida State. They would offer Faulk a full scholarship yet they wanted him to switch from running back to cornerback. Faulk opted to go to San Diego State where he dazzled the nation as a freshman gaining 1,429 yards and 23TDs. Along the way he had a freshman record 386 yard, 7 touchdown performance against U of Pacific. Before you say something about the talent level, keep in mind he's just 3 weeks away from giving his Pro Football Hall of Fame induction speech. So kill that noise.
The point being he didn't have to play cornerback with Terrell Buckley and watch Amp Lee and Warrick Dunn as tailbacks at Florida St when he had other alternatives. Being on the west coast and playing in many night games, Faulk was watched all around the country and became the first freshman to get serious consideration as a Heisman Trophy candidate. There are other notable examples of this but an electrifying running back that made both Hall of Fames (college and pro) seemed like a logical example. Players know they can go anywhere and be seen all over the country.
Steve Slaton slashing up Marshall
The second was the scholarship limitations the NCAA instituted in 1990. Now the top 20 schools, the Miami's, Florida St's, Oklahoma's, Nebraska's, Texas', Michigan's, Ohio St's, the USC's couldnt swallow the top 100 tailbacks coming out in a given year. Some of them were talents that never developed or later developed. Some players actually blossomed at non traditional schools that struggled to get the blue chip prospect.
When you get a Steve Slaton at West Virginia, a LaDainian Tomlinson who opted to stay near home at Texas Christian, or a Jamal Anderson at Utah, or even a Doug Martin right now at a Boise St. These players could have split time or may not have started early in their careers at traditional schools. In most cases we never hear of these players as they fade into obscurity and don't make the pros.
Some play in Canada but many fall by the way side. Two players that did play later were Jeff Smith of the Nebraska Cornhuskers of '83 and Priest Holmes of Texas in the late 90's. Each played RB behind Heisman winners in Mike Rozier and Ricky Williams. Yet both developed their talent in the NFL, Smith had a serviceable career with Kansas City Chiefs, where Holmes went on to rewrite the Chiefs record book after winning a Super Bowl ring in Baltimore.
Yet all of a sudden we were seeing electrifying, record breaking runners at schools we didn't expect those performances from. The aforementioned LaDainian Tomlinson, A Troy Davis at Iowa St running for back to back 2,000 yard seasons in the mid 90s. A Barry Sanders rushing for 2,629 yards and 37TDs in a 1988 Heisman Campaign, who followed an All American Thurman Thomas. Who followed another All American and '82 NCAA rushing leader Earnest "Sparkplug" Anderson with over 1,800 yards rushing. Yes the year Herschel Walker won the Heisman he didn't lead the nation in rushing. The latter three talents went to Oklahoma St and not Texas or Oklahoma.
The third key component in leveling the collegiate playing field were the different strategies employed by college coaches. These evolving sets have been lifted from the antiquated wishbone offense to more pro style sets including the run and shoot, 3 receiver one back sets, to the variations of the spread offense. Teams that couldn't field All American offensive linemen could opt for an attack that spread the defense and made it think. Why go toe to toe with an opponent when you can out think your opponent and outhit him when he is out of position? This has been the true equalizer in college football over this last ten years just ask Michigan how it feels about Appalchian St. Michigan became so confused that they thought "hell if you can't understand it hire a coach who does" yet they didn't have the type of talent needed to direct that offense under coach Rich Rodriguez.
With the run and shoot, different types of receivers were needed to make the offense go. You recruited your traditional large fast receiver(6'0-6'3 -215 lbs.) along with a new prototype that manned the slots. This player was smaller in stature yet quicker than the large fast receiver and stood (5'7-5'9 -175-185lbs.) which were the high school receivers that traditional schools didn't recruit unless they were going to be switched to cornerback.
Yet these players found homes in offenses that spread the field and played their game in space throwing the football. Most teams realized that the third and fourth best WR were normally better than third and fourth corners on a given team. You had the University of Houston in the 80s and early 90s as the vanguard of the run and shoot teams and most recently June Jones University of Hawaii teams. Even the Miami Hurricanes employed these techniques winning two National Championships in1989 and 1991.
Then along came Rich Rodriguez and his West Virginia Mountaineers. He took the spread offense to a complete zenith with what you could do with a 53 1/3 yard wide field and implemented a power rushing attack from a spread formation. First he recruited Pat White from Alabama. At 6'0 (being generous) and 185 lbs. he was short for a quarterback and had a decent arm, yet it was his 4.28 40 yard dash that made it nearly impossible for interior linebackers to read blocking patterns, than get to the flank to defend against his options or pitch to Steve Slaton.
Slaton was brought down from Pennsylvania. One of the nation's fastest running backs coming out of high school in 2005. He had committed to Maryland who had offered him a scholarship then retracted their offer. He took his 4.3 speed to West Virginia to team with Pat White, Owen Schmitt, recievers Darius Reynaud #82 and Brandon Miles#7 and a powerhouse was born. They spread from a traditional set and some 3 receivers yet ran what they call a speed option that most MLBs didnt have the lateral quickness to stay with. The result?? First we have to set the table for you.
The Miami Hurricanes and Boston College had just fled the Big East to join the ACC. Many felt that the Big East was no longer a top flight conference with two of their heavyweight schools having departed. Yet the Mountaineers started a redshirt freshman in Pat White, and a freshman tailback in Steve Slaton and a new offense took the country by storm. They improved as the season went on and Slaton finished the season with 1,128 yards and 17 TDs, while White finished with 952 yds rushing and 7 TDs to go along with moderate passing to keep defenses honest.
Once they ran out to a 10-1 record, their Big East championship gave them an automatic bid to the BCS Sugar Bowl where they would take on Georgia. The Bulldogs that year were 12-1 and only a close loss in SEC play had kept them from appearing in the National Championship Game. Experts scoffed that West Virginia's offense couldn't perform that well against a superior defense from a superior conference. Yes experts were treating the Big East as a second tier conference with the remaining teams. So the battle lines were drawn and since the Sugar Bowl had to be moved from New Orleans to Atlanta's Georgia Dome, because of Hurricane Katrina, this would be a home crowd for the Bulldogs too. No way the Mountaineers could stay on the field with an SEC team……………….right??
Naturally underdogs play with a chip on their shoulder and Bulldogs were chasing Mountaineers all night. In a humiliating 38-35 defeat, SEC Champion Georgia never led in the ball game. http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/boxscore?gameId=260020061 No one on the set picked West Virginia to win and the nation watched in stunned amazement as the Mountaineers burst onto the field and was up 28-0 before Georgia knew what hit them. Freshman Steve Slaton set the Sugar Bowl rushing record with 26 carries for 204 yards, 3 Tds with twin 52 yard touchdowns that were electrifying. Passing the exploits of Tony Dorsett, Herschel Walker, Major Ogilvie, Vegas Ferguson, and keep filling in blanks here…Slaton outrushed them all just being 7 months removed from high school. Yikes!!
This watershed game got more coaches on the bandwagon of the spread to be used as a rushing offense. By the time the point was hammered home that this was an offense to stay, was when Appalachian State upset Michigan in "The Big House" in 2007. Now even skeptics were using some variation of the offense in their playbooks. Though the SEC was embarrassed that night in the Sugar Bowl, we come to see that 5 years later Auburn wins the National Championship over Oregon and both were run first, spread option teams. In came the Cam Newtons and Terrelle Pryors to lead this new wave…
So the landscape has changed, first through the proliferation of cable television stations allowing players to play in far away places and still be seen back home. This changed the way colleges could approach players when they weren't the clear cut favorite to land a particular recruit. Players weren't forced to switch positions to go to a particular name school when there were other alternatives.
This happened simultaneously with the NCAA limiting the amount of scholarships teams which spread talent all over the collegiate landscape. Then in an effort to find the great equalizer, coaching innovations leveled the playing field even more with better tactics while landing a better athlete on their campus than ever before. Couple these factors with the natural chip on the shoulder that most underdogs play with and college football has turned into "On any given Saturday…" Making college football an even greater game than before. We'll be back to help solve the National Championship Game and BCS problem later.

2011 Heisman Campaign: Doug Martin of Boise St.
Boise St's talented Doug Martin
One of the nation's best running backs wasn't even a guaranteed starter at his position just two years ago, let alone last year. Would you believe he was a complimentary back and special team standout who switched to and from safety several times at Boise State?? At 5'9 201lbs, he runs with a Mark Ingram-like low center of gravity, yet unlike the past Heisman Trophy winner, Martin has an explosive burst. He began the 2010 season as a complimentary option to incumbent starter Jeremy Avery and just flat unseated him. He wound up rushing for 1,260 yds on just 201 carries, had a whopping 6.2 yards per carry average and 12 TDs. Yikes! What would he have done if he had been the undisputed starter at the beginning of the season??
He exploded at the end of the season when he dazzled the nation with one of the best performances in college football against Nevada. Boise St was ranked #3 with a 10-0 record and traveled to play Nevada, who was on a 10 game winning streak, and were 10-1 with a #19 ranking. This was the last hurdle for the Broncos to push to play in that elusive National Championship Game. In a nationally televised game, the Broncos sprinted out to a 24-7 lead thanks to 2TDs by Martin. The last of which was a 51 yd sweep to the left that left Wolfpack defenders gasping for air as he sprinted into the endzone for what appeared to be a clinching touchdown. Yet the Wolfpack furiously fought to get back into the game tying the score at 24 with 5:10 left in the regulation.
The Boise offense had been stifled for the better part of two quarters when they turned to their dynamic junior running back. In what should have been a last possession time consuming drive, Martin accidentally showcased his flare for the dramatic. On 1st and 10, he took a routine screen pass, set up blocks with a few electrifying moves and powered through an attempted tackle and exploded for a 79 yard touchdown. The play was stunning by itself yet when his team was playing pensive and they needed it most he came through. Alas the finish to the game robbed the Broncos of their shot at playing for it all falling 34-31 in overtime. However that Saturday night in front of an ESPN audience Martin amassed 152 yds on 24 carries for 2TDs while gaining 78 yards on 3 receptions and another touchdown. Two of his scoring plays were from 51 and 79 yards out. For the season he had 11 plays of over 25 yds or more and 3 that were over 50.
After receiving a slight from the Bowl Committee and having to play December 22 in the Maaco Las Vegas Bowl, the Broncos again had a national television audience tune in. After both teams started off sluggish, Martin moved the crowd with an 84 yard touchdown run in which he outran the entire secondary the last 50 yards to the endzone. He had another breathtaking cutback run of 32 yards and finished the day with 17 carries for 147 yards and 1 touchdown in a 26-3 win. When the lights came on and it was time to perform, he played his absolute best.
So why the high expectations on Doug Martin? He finished with 6, 100 yard games and if he carries the football to the tune of 250-275 times this season he could rush for 1,700 yards and over 20TDs in the Mountain West Conference. He rushed for 15TDs in a complimentary role in 2009 so those numbers aren't far-fetched. His stock is clearly on the rise and this is an NFL ready running back. As we debated the merits of a Boise St's legitimacy to play for the National Championship last year, we expect some flack because of the Broncos schedule and conference. Until you realize
LaDainian Tomlinson -TCU Hornedfrogs WAC- 13,404 NFL Career Yards, 144 rushing TDs & NFL record 31TDs in one season
Walter Payton – Jackson St – SWAC- Former NFL All Time Rushing leader with 16,726 yards rushing
Jamal Anderson-Utah WAC- Ran for Atlanta Falcon record 1,750 yards on NFL record 410 carries in 1998
Mike Anderson-Utah WAC – Ran for NFL rookie game rushing record 250 yards against New Orleans Saints 2000
2011 Boise State Bronco Stadium Banner of Doug Martin
Just to name a few of the merits of those coming from smaller schools and their ability to compete with their BCS Conference School counterparts at the next level. Take a look at Reggie Bush for example….yet I digress. Ahem it's at the collegiate level we're talking about. As the video illustrates Martin can avoid the big hit with his quick feet yet when contact is imminent, he explodes into tacklers with the mentality of a defensive player. If you approach Boise St's Stadium, you'll see these huge banners of Kellen Moore and a few other players, yet its the one to the left of this column that will catch your eye. Keep your eye out for him this season and in next April's draft. You haven't heard the last of this talent and with an injury free season could be the best in the country and worthy of the Heisman Trophy.

A foot-high stack of papers sat on Ms. Pomerantz's dining room table. "I pulled these out of a drawer for you," she said, walking me over to them. They were the typed minutes of every Buddy team meeting she had ever attended. The Buddy program paired clients of the Gay Men's Health Crisis with individuals who volunteered to help take care of them when scant other support network existed. I recently visited Ms. Leslie Fay Pomerantz in her Upper West Side apartment to discuss her experience with the Buddy program and GMHC. Ms. Pomerantz was honored in 2010 for twenty-five years of volunteer service. In addition to holding the distinction of longest serving volunteer, she was one of the first women to join the Buddy program. A few years into volunteering Ms. Pomerantz became the president of Team #2, which served clients on the Upper West Side. The stack of notes started in 2006, when the Buddy program ended. I leafed through the loose sheets, watching subsequently older generations of computer printing turn to electric typewriter. As I got closer to the bottom of the stack it dawned on me that this was an unbroken documentation of the AIDS crisis going back almost thirty years. Notes from the meetings in the early eighties were exceedingly grim; volunteers paraphrased the rapidly declining health of the men they struggled to care for. I looked at Ms. Pomerantz, who recommended we sit down and talk in her living room.
Do you have a lot of other papers from the early meetings?
Oh I probably have. The one's I showed you and other's I've kept.
No, one of the team members took all the information down.
Can you talk about early Buddy meetings?
How many people were typically in a meeting?
Maybe 12 or 14. We'd have it here, and we'd talk about our clients. And we'd all help them by telling them things it would be good for them to do. People today just don't know what it was like. Some of the Buddies got sick.
In the beginning a lot of the hospitals were apprehensive about treating people because no one knew how AIDS was spread, was your own health something you worried about?
Yes. People thought I was crazy. I didn't dare tell my parents.
They never knew you were a volunteer?
No. And many people had trouble going into hospitals. I remember taking Emilio's keys so they couldn't send them home, and then he'd die. I remember going home with his key. And I went back and visited all the time. A lot of people didn't have anybody. A lot of people's families disowned them. Some of them disowned them when they found out they were gay. It was something I never understood. I'm a parent, I have two sons. I couldn't see myself…I could get mad at them, fight with them…but leave them? Never.
Were you the only woman involved in GMHC at the time you started?
At that training, I was. And people said things that I didn't understand.
Talking to themselves, out loud, being funny. I didn't understand. I would now, but I didn't then. I went to training for two weeks in a row.
What exactly was the training?
I don't remember those first trainings. But it's changed. It was very different then than it is now.
No, what I mean is, people were very sick. If you were assigned a client and you had him for three months that was considered a very long time. There were no treatments. Sometimes you never even got the client. You were given the phone number and you called and you couldn't find them. And then you learned that he had died.
Emilio. He lived near me. I had so many clients at first. I'd have to go through my papers.
Were the early clients all different ages?
Years ago, yes, they were all different ages. It took a long while, when they found out about AIDS, to understand it.
How long did you work with Emilio?
Not that long. You didn't work with anybody that long. Because they died. I think three months. A little less.
Do you remember how you first heard about GMHC?
I think I read about it in the papers. I probably have it somewhere. There were two clients that were interviewed in the papers. And we were on 18th Street. I remember when I got there, Gay Men's Health Crisis. I couldn't believe it when I came in, there was a little desk with someone behind it, and he told me to go upstairs, turn to the left, and I was so surprised. I thought volunteers were women! But at the end of the two weeks everybody came up to me to thank me for being there. And I'm the only one still there!
Can you think of any stories that stand out from your early days as a volunteer?
Oh I'm sure. It was terrible before there were treatments. And people were not treated well in the hospitals.
I read you were known for something called the Leslie maneuver?
Yes! Where'd you find out about that?
I read about it on the GMHC website. My understanding is that you would not give the hospitals keys to the client's apartment to keep them from being sent home without being cared for.
Yes, because that's what they were doing. They were trying to send them home too quickly. So I took their keys.
Did you spend a lot of time in the hospitals with clients? Did you visit clients in their homes and in hospitals?
With Emilio, for instance, he lived nearby—they would give you people who lived nearby when they could. That was before God's Love [God's Love We Deliver], I used to go every day, I'd pick him up something to eat and bring it to him. Because he couldn't do it himself. So, I did a number of things for him. They don't have a Buddy Program anymore, but no one would need the things now that we did in the beginning. You literally took care of them. A lot of people didn't have anybody. A lot of families disowned them. So a lot of people didn't have anybody to help them when I started. I don't even think many of today's clients know things like that.
I'm very curious about, with the length of time you've volunteered, what kinds of changes you have seen in the organization; for instance in the way people's attitudes have changed as treatments have improved, and as we have come to better understand AIDS. Do you feel there's the same sense of urgency?
That's not there anymore. And we also don't have a Buddy program anymore. We lost funding and because you don't need to do today what you did then. Today people have so much going for them. And people don't get as sick. As soon as they find out they go on medications. There were no medications back then. Penicillin. It's completely changed. And sometimes I wonder, when I sit giving tickets out at the lunch room—do they know what it was like? You can't tell that anybody has AIDS, you don't see it. But what you saw before, it was horrible. People could barely walk, AIDS had so many other complications. There were so many things that I can't even remember.
Is there a way for younger people to get a sense of what it was like then?
Probably not. It's totally different now. When I sit at the lunch desk, everyone looks healthy, everyone looks fine. But what you saw when I started…was awful. Do you have any memory?
I'm too young to remember, I'm 25.
So you don't have any memory. Oh god what you saw was awful. People lost so much weight. There were so many problems people had, in the hands, in their legs, in their feet. It stopped them from being able to do things. It was a whole different story. And there was nothing to give them at first except penicillin. I saw things that, I remember saying to someone, that I never ever want to see again as long as I live. But I was glad that I was there to help those people. I don't even know if some of the clients know what it was like before. I read something in the paper, I think it was the Daily News, and I found out there was a volunteer program.
Yes and if I remember correctly, GMHC was three years old when I started. But it was nothing like it is today. You spent so much of your time going to memorials. Always going to memorials. Many of the people that worked at GMHC died. Today you never hear of a death, thank heavens. And people don't walk the way they did. In fact, sometimes when I sit at the luncheon desk I wonder, do these people know what it was like?
That's why it's so important to keep the stories alive, for people who have no direct connection that time, it's a very important connection to me.
Did you personally know anyone affected by AIDS before you started volunteering?
Yes, a number of people. Died. And then of course they didn't die, once they got medication. So I probably still know people with it that are taking medication. And I volunteer. I mean, after they stopped the Buddy Program Jeff Rindler, do you know who Jeff Rindler is?
He didn't want me leaving the agency. So he suggested that I come on Thursdays and sit in front of the dining room lunch dining room and put people's IDs in the computer and give them a ticket. And I remember saying "Jeff, that's not what I do, I like working with people!" And he said, well try it. Now I've been doing it for about six years! I'm there every Thursday. And I see about three hundred people for lunch. I'm glad, because I didn't want to leave GMHC anyway, I've been there so long. Most of my friends are from GMHC.
Did you notice the attitudes of the volunteers at GMHC change as AIDS treatments got better? More positivity? More hope?
It took a while. I'm the longest person there, I was told. I didn't know that, but I was. In fact, I have pictures in my bedroom, like this, and a number of the people in the pictures died. He died. We were very good friends. We became very close. Nigel. He's from New Zealand. He was from New Zealand. He lived here and we became friends. And then he got sick and he had to move back to New Zealand because he didn't have insurance here.
No. I could look it up. But I remember going to New Zealand, we went to both islands. He had never been to the second island. And then, he was coming here a couple years later, and I was meeting him downtown because he was going to come up and stay here. And I got a phone call, he called me and said "I don't know how to tell you this, but I can't come to New York." He had a brain tumor. He said would you come, please come. So I went to visit him. And he died.
Yes. In fact, he asked me to sleep in his bed with him. He woke up, I think it was around six in the morning, he woke me up, he had his eyes wide open but he wasn't seeing anything. He was lifting his legs all the way up and he would throw them out over and over and over again. I remember getting up and calling his doctor, and that was that. He eventually died that day. He had a close friend, Larry. So we were staying at Larry's house.
Probably his early thirties. He was charming. Everybody liked him. So he stayed with me. I have three bedrooms. When my older boy moved out I turned his room into a guest room, so Nigel stayed there when he stayed with me. I haven't a guest in there in I don't know how long.
How did you meet Nigel?
Through GMHC. He was a volunteer. He was a cook, so he was doing things like catering to people on his own. … Funny, of all the men in my life, and I've had a lot of men in my life, Nigel is the one that I think of the most. I'm going to get a cigarette. Do you smoke?
I would have a cigarette with you, thank you. And thank you for agreeing to meet today. It's been a pleasure speaking with you.
Many thanks also to David Pais at the Gay Men's Health Crisis for connecting me with Ms. Pomerantz.

Q: Multiple indexes with the same prefix Let's suppose I have the following fields:
userId: int
userSituation: int
userStatus: int

and if I create the following indexes:
{ userId, userSituation }
{ userId, userStatus }

Will MongoDB benefit in some way? For example, both indexes start from the same ordered index of userId ? Or would I be better of changing the 2nd index to  { userStatus , userId}, so I would have a prefix for userStatus?

One of the most salient protectors of individual and family economic growth both is achievement in the area of education. Higher education in particular can serve as a mediator for those who come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds or other roadblocks to success. In the United States school counselors provide substantial assistance to students regarding academic planning. In this study, data collected from the National Education Longitudinal Study (NELS) reviewed participants (N = 12,144) who sought assistance from school counselors in an attempt to identify factors salient to college degree attainment. Data were analyzed using Logistic Regression in an effort to determine whether school counselor involvement resulted in the prediction of successful achievement of postsecondary education. Results were mixed, suggesting the need for further research in this area.

School counselor involvement and college degree attainment: A quantitative conundrum.
One of the most salient protectors of individual and family economic growth both in the United States and, indeed, the world, is achievement in the area of education, and in particular post-secondary education. (Pong, 1998; Powell & Downey, 1997; Delaney, Harmon, & Redmond, 2011). Discussion going on in the United States at this particular juncture is the notion that higher education can help to mediate the roadblocks people face who come from low socioeconomic backgrounds, poor schools, difficult family environments, lack of history of success in school, and those who may not be motivated to achieve in the area of education. While a cultural context is framed within the view of the Western notion of individual achievement by higher education, and measured by educational and economic success, the idea of achievement in whatever form is a universal goal, regardless of the context. Given the relative global uncertainty about the economy in many nations, it is still very much true that wherever people are seeking to advance, higher education is one of the best predictors of the likelihood of success across the world (Horn & Berger, 2004). Understanding which factors contribute to the success of students is critical so that scarce resources are not invested in programs and policies that bear little success in helping students to attain postsecondary education.
Helping professionals in schools are in a unique position to help bridge the success gap between students of lower socioeconomic status, hereafter SES, and those who came from high SES homes. Knowing and applying the factors that contribute to educational achievement is critical for secondary and postsecondary counselors to help students meet their educational goals. Academic counselors work in concert with other support systems to ensure student success as they are unable to mediate all the contributors to student attrition due to the high student to counselor ratio in secondary and postsecondary institutions (American School Counselor Association, 2003). Factors for baccalaureate degree attainment begin as early as middle school, and they remain constant in predicting postsecondary educational attainment years later (Trusty, 2004). Research for the effect of counseling interventions for specific populations is needed. While there is plenty of evidence to suggest that postsecondary education is an important vehicle for status attainment in the world, the specific programs, interventions, dispositions, and motivators for students remains less

clear. In fact, in the United States in 2012, less than 26% of its population (NCES, 2012) has a post-secondary education level equivalent to a baccalaureate degree, and in the rest of the world, that number fluctuates as well, but even in the most advanced nations when it comes to postsecondary education, that number is hovers around 50% of the population; however, defining completion varies by type of educational attainment and degree. (Miller, Warren, & Owen, 2011). Even with access to postsecondary education becoming financially prohibitive relatively speaking compared to a generation earlier in the United States, college enrollments remain at or near the historical high mark, indicating little slowing in the perceived value of postsecondary education. Moreover, given the need for some form of high-level training to attain a quality job in most of the world today, national governments, including that of the United States Department of Education, are seeking ways to increase the number of students enrolled in higher education, and, more importantly, increasing the likelihood of success for those students who do choose to enroll in higher education programs. United States Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, has promoted the idea that some form of postsecondary education, in his view, is necessary for all citizens. Academic researchers, Trusty (2004), have suggested further research should focus on the use and effect of individual planning on long-term educational achievement, and the goal of the present study is to determine outcome data for the use of school counseling services in predicting postsecondary education, defined here by the attainment of a baccalaureate degree.
School counselors are the main source of academic planning information and resources in high schools in the United States, and because school counselors are charged with, among other tasks, providing college planning, career guidance, college information, academic readiness, preparation for standardized testing, and an limitless pantheon of related pro-academic services to students, they are perhaps in the best position to lay the foundation for helping students to attain the skills necessary to find success in postsecondary education. The research question investigated here is what effect does academic and personal counseling have on college degree attainment in the United States.
Completing a degree program, or even graduating from high school, takes a certain amount of initiative on the part of the student, and credit is to be given where it is due. The research also indicates that other personnel help to guide students along the path to their overall goals. Helping professionals in the schools play a key role in helping students to achieve their graduation, but more than that, they are charged with the task of aiding students in their selection of which college to attend, the major of study to choose, and the career options available to them at the completion of their degree.
The model of the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), serves as a framework to unify school counseling services to deliver guidance and counseling to students in a consistent fashion across the United States. The model was developed in response to administrators, teachers, parents, and others being unaware of what school counselors do. ASCA states The ASCA National Model supports the schools overall mission by promoting academic achievement, career planning and personal/social development (ASCA, 2003). ASCAs mission continues in the college years in that ASCAs three areas of emphasis are aligned with the goals of many of the student retention programs discussed the persistence literature.
Studies on the ASCA models use and effectiveness illustrate that its comprehensive scope is useful even though the model is applied inconsistently. For instance, Foster, Young, and Hermann (2005) studied the ASCA models application and found school counselors to devote most of their time and resources to the academic counseling component of their positions but that the respondents to their survey thought they did not address career development and personal/social development in as complete a fashion as they perceived necessary by the National Standards for School Counseling Programs (NSSCP, 2001), the standards from which the ASCA model was developed. The authors note, however, that a limitation of their study was that it sampled only National Certified Counselors (NCC), a non-representative demographic, as most school counselors are not NCC credentialed.
To be effective counselors for students, Trusty and Brown (2005) suggest school counselors develop advocacy competencies to define their role and delineate their activities. The authors explained that counselors need to develop competency in family empowerment, social advocacy, resource development, systems change, assessment, collaboration, organization, and problem solving, among other areas. Trusty and Brown devised a model for achieving advocacy dispositions which concern following through on what is recommended by the ASCA model.
Advocacy is important as school counselors often influence students in their future plans, and they often serve as bridge personnel between students secondary education and higher education. Dickey and Satcher (1994) found that school counselors often are not aware of the postsecondary educational options for students with learning disabilities, a disturbing finding because colleges and universities are increasingly accessible to the population of student

New START Treaty: a Win for the US and the World
by Oregon PeaceWorks • December 23, 2010 • 0 Comments
By Don Kraus
The United States Senate has agreed to the New START Treaty. The bilateral nuclear arms treaty passed with bipartisan support by a 71 to 26 margin. The roll call vote came after months of highly partisan debate and despite a packed Senate schedule.
Enacting the Will of the People
Adoption of this treaty demonstrates a commitment to responsible and cooperative U.S. global engagement. President Obama, Vice-President Biden, and Senators Kerry, Lugar, and Reid deserve special praise for their vision and leadership. New START's approval is also testament to the courageous 13 Republicans who placed national security above obstructive partisan politics.
A November CNN poll noted that 82% of Americans supported ratification. Before the Senate vote, tens of thousands of Americans weighed in. Citizens for Global Solutions National Outreach Director Anu Joshi said, "I want to thank the thousands of Citizens for Global Solutions supporters who called, wrote to and met with their Senators to support ratification of New START. Their voices were a key part of this victory." [This applies to the many members of other organizations who cooperated in this effort as well, including Oregon PeaceWorks. –Ed]
The New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) is a bilateral nuclear arms reduction treaty between the United States and Russia. It reduces the number of nuclear warheads to level not seen since I was born in 1954. The treaty requires that both parties limit their nuclear arsenals to 1,550 strategic warheads and 700 launchers each, a two-thirds reduction from the original 1991 START treaty which expired in December 2009. New START institutes a new inspection and verification process.
START Supported by Military Leaders Too
The treaty garnered strong support from U.S. military leadership and numerous former secretaries of defense and state. The bi-partisan supporters of New START have all explicitly stated that the treaty will make the U.S. safer. Full Senate consideration came after more than 20 hearings and hundreds of questions to the administration.
New START is not just a step forward in reducing the unique destructive threat of nuclear weapons; it is a testament to the power of great cooperation on the global stage.
The Senate has not passed a major multilateral treaty since the Chemical Weapons Convention was ratified 1997. While consideration of New START is the most important arms control treaty to come before the Senate in more than a decade, other treaties including the Law of the Sea and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) have yet to be considered. Now that the Senate has shown it can rise above the partisan bickering and pursue an agenda that benefits all Americans, and the world, it should set its sights on also adopting these important agreements to benefit our nation's economy, security, sustainability and credibility.

A Colônia da Virgínia, concedida em 1606 e estabelecida em 1607, foi a primeira colônia inglesa duradoura na América do Norte, após tentativas fracassadas de colonização na Terra Nova por Sir Humphrey Gilbert em 1583, e na ilha sul de Roanoke (atualmente Carolina do Norte) por Sir Walter Raleigh no final da década de 1580.

Histórico
A Colônia da Virgínia foi fundada pela Virginia Company, com os dois primeiros assentamentos em Jamestown, na margem Norte do rio James e a colônia Popham no rio Kennebec, atualmente Maine, ambos em 1607. A colônia Popham rapidamente falhou devido a fome, doenças e conflitos com tribos nativas americanas nos primeiros dois anos. Jamestown ocupava terras pertencentes à Confederação Powhatan e também estava à beira do fracasso antes da chegada de um novo grupo de colonos e suprimentos por navio em 1610. O tabaco se tornou o primeiro item de exportação lucrativo da Virgínia, cuja produção teve um impacto significativo na sociedade e nos padrões de assentamento.

Em 1624, a Carta da Companhia da Virgínia foi revogada pelo rei Jaime I e a colônia da Virgínia foi transferida para a autoridade real como uma colônia da coroa. Após a Guerra Civil Inglesa nas décadas de 1640 e 1650, a colônia da Virgínia foi apelidada de "O Antigo Domínio" pelo rei Carlos II por sua lealdade à monarquia inglesa durante a era do Protetorado e da Comunidade da Inglaterra.

Q: Proof of Cramér-Lundberg inequality I'm trying to prove the Cramér-Lundberg inequality, which deals with the probability of ruin for an insurance company given a certain initial capital. Specifically, if $Y_1, Y_2, \ldots$ are the differences between the premiums and payments of an insurance company at time $n$, and $X_n = Y_1 + \cdots + Y_n$ is the total gain of the insurance company at time $n$, and $k_0$ is the initial capital, then the probability of eventual ruin $p(k_0)$ satisfies the Cramér-Lundberg inequality:
$$
p(k_0) := \mathbb P\left[ \inf\left\{ X_n + k_0 : n \in \mathbb N_0 \right\} < 0 \right] \leq \exp\left(\theta^* k_0\right)
$$
where $\theta^* < 0$ satisfies $\log\left( \mathbb E\left[ \exp(\theta^* Y_1 )\right]\right) = 0$.
My reference text proposes proving this in the following steps. Suppose $Y_1, Y_2, \ldots$ are i.i.d. integrable random variables that are not almost surely constant. Let $X_n = Y_1 + \cdots + Y_n$, and suppose there is $\delta > 0$ so that $\mathbb E\left[\exp\left(\theta Y_1 \right)\right] < \infty$ for all $\theta \in (-\delta, \delta)$. Define $\psi : (-\delta, \delta) \to \mathbb R$ by $$\psi(\theta) := \log \left(\mathbb E\left[\exp\left(\theta Y_1 \right)\right]\right)$$
and define the process $Z^\theta = \left(Z^\theta_n\right)_{n \geq 1}$ by $Z_n^\theta := \exp\left(\theta X_n - n\psi(\theta)\right)$. We are suggested to show the following:

*

*$Z^\theta$ is a martingale for all $\theta \in (-\delta, \delta)$.

*$\psi$ is strictly convex.

*$\mathbb E\left[\sqrt{Z_n^\theta}\right] \xrightarrow{n \to \infty} 0$ for $\theta \neq 0$.

*$Z_n^\theta \xrightarrow{n \to \infty} 0$ almost surely.

*If $\mathbb E[Y_1] > 0$ and if $\psi(\theta) = 0$ has a nonzero solution $\theta^*$, then $\theta^* < 0$.

*Prove that if such a $\theta^* < 0$ exists, and if $\mathbb E[Y_1] > 0$, then $p(k_0) \leq \exp\left(\theta^* k_0\right)$.

I've been able to show 1, 4 (from 3), and 5 (from 2). I'm close for 2 but having some trouble: we need to show $\psi(\lambda\theta + (1-\lambda)\phi) < \lambda \psi(\theta) + (1-\lambda)\psi(\phi)$ whenever $\theta \neq \phi$ and $\lambda \in (0,1)$. Clearly we have $$\psi(\lambda\theta + (1-\lambda)\phi) = \log\mathbb E\left[ \exp\left(\lambda\theta Y_1 + (1-\lambda)\phi Y_1 \right)\right]$$ Meanwhile by Jensen's inequality and concavity of $x \mapsto x^\lambda$ for $0 < \lambda < 1$,
\begin{align*}
\lambda \psi(\theta) + (1-\lambda)\psi(\phi) &= \log \left( \mathbb E\left[\exp (\theta Y_1) \right]^\lambda\right) + \log\left(\mathbb E\left[ \exp(\phi Y_1)\right]^{1-\lambda}\right) \\
&\geq \log\left(\mathbb E\left[\exp\left(\lambda \theta Y_1\right)\right]\right) + \log\left(\mathbb E\left[\exp\left((1-\lambda)\phi Y_1\right)\right]\right) \\
&= \log\left(\mathbb E\left[\exp\left(\lambda \theta Y_1\right)\right]\mathbb E\left[\exp\left((1-\lambda)\phi Y_1\right)\right]\right).
\end{align*}
If I could show $\mathbb E\left[\exp\left(\lambda \theta Y_1\right)\right]\mathbb E\left[\exp\left((1-\lambda)\phi Y_1\right)\right] \geq \mathbb E\left[\exp\left(\lambda \theta Y_1\right)\exp\left((1-\lambda)\phi Y_1\right)\right]$,that would solve this problem, but this is very far from obvious to me (especially since the integrands aren't independent).
Then 3 and 6 I'm really stuck on. Any help on any of these three would be greatly appreciated. Note I would prefer not to use martingale convergence theorems because these results have yet to appear in my textbook; I can only work with square integrable martingales and stopping times.

A: These are my ideas:

*

*For point 2, I get by Hölder's inequality for the pair $(1/(1-\lambda), 1/\lambda)$ that
\begin{align*} \psi(\lambda\theta+(1-\lambda)\phi)
&=\log\left(\mathbb{E}\left[\exp(\lambda\theta Y_1)\exp((1-\lambda)\phi Y_1)\right]\right) \newline
&\le\log\left({\mathbb{E}\left[\exp(\theta Y_1)\right]}^{\lambda}
{\mathbb{E}\left[\exp(\phi Y_1)\right]}^{1-\lambda}\right)\newline
&= \lambda \psi(\theta)+(1-\lambda)\psi(\phi)\;.
\end{align*}

*For point 3 we know that Jensen's inequality is strict, whenever the random variable in question is almost surely not constant, which is part of the assumptions. Hence,  using concavity of the square root we have
\begin{align*}
\mathbb{E}\left[\exp\left(\frac{\theta}{2}Y_1\right)\right]=\mathbb{E}\left[\sqrt{\exp\left(\theta Y_1\right)}\right]< \sqrt{\mathbb{E}\left[\exp\left(\theta Y_1\right)\right]}\;.
\end{align*}
Hence by the independence of ${(Y_i)}_{i\in\mathbb{N}}$
\begin{align*}
\mathbb{E}\left[\sqrt{Z_n^{\theta}}\right]
&= \mathbb{E}\left[\exp\left(\frac{\theta}{2} X_n - \frac{n}2 \psi(\theta)\right)\right] \newline
&={\left(\mathbb{E}\left[\exp\left(\frac{\theta}{2} Y_1-\frac12 \psi(\theta)\right)\right]\right)}^n\newline
&={\underbrace{\left(\frac{\mathbb{E}\left[\exp\left(\frac{\theta}{2} Y_1\right)\right]}{\sqrt{\mathbb{E}\left[\exp\left(\theta Y_1\right)\right]}}\right)}_{<1}}^n\rightarrow 0\;.
\end{align*}

*In your question you write $\mathbb{N}_0$ which I assume are the natural numbers including $0$, but I am not sure what $X_0$ is, so I assume the process starts at $X_1$ and write $\mathbb{N}$. For $m\in \mathbb{N}$ define
\begin{align*}
\tau^{(m)}&:=\inf\{n\in\mathbb{N}:X_n< -k_0\}\wedge m\;,
\end{align*}
By construction we have $1=\mathbb{E}\left[Z_1^{\theta^*}\right]$. By point 1 we know that ${\{Z_n^{\theta^*}\}}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ is a martingale. Hence, by the optional sampling theorem we get
\begin{align*}
1=\mathbb{E}\left[Z_1^{\theta^*}\right]
&=\mathbb{E}\left[Z^{\theta^*}_{\tau^{(m)}}\right]\\
&\ge\mathbb{E}\left[Z^{\theta^*}_{\tau^{(m)}}\mathbf{1}_{\tau^{(m)}<m}\right]\\
&\ge\exp\left(-\theta^* k_0\right)\mathbb{E}\left[\mathbf{1}_{\tau^{(m)}<m}\right]\\
&=\exp\left(-\theta^* k_0\right)
\mathbb{P}\underbrace{\left[\inf\{n\in\mathbb{N}:X_n+k_0< 0 \}<m\right]}_{A_m}\;,
\end{align*}
where in the second inequality we used that $\theta^*<0$.
The only dependence on $m$ is in $A_m$, and since ${\{A_m\}}_{m\in\mathbb{N}}$ is an increasing set of events you may take the limit and multiply with $\exp\left(\theta^*k_0\right)$ to get
\begin{align*}
\exp\left(\theta^* k_0\right)
\le\mathbb{P}\left[\inf\{n\in\mathbb{N}:X_n+k_0< 0 \}<\infty\right]
=\mathbb{P}\left[\inf\{X_n+k_0: n\in\mathbb{N} \}<0\right]
\end{align*}
which is the desired inequality.

A: Here is an idea for the convergence results 3. and 4.
I will start with 4. : Write $Z_n^\theta=e^{n\big(\theta\frac{X_n}{n}-\psi(\theta)\big)}$ and let $A^\theta_n=\theta\frac{X_n}{n}-\psi(\theta)\;,n\in\mathbb{N}$. By the strong law of large numbers, it follows that for all $\theta\in(-\delta,\delta)$ $$A^\theta_n\underset{n\to\infty}\longrightarrow a(\theta):=\mathbb{E}[\theta \;Y_1]-\psi(\theta)\;\;\text{a.s.}$$  Now, observe that for all $\theta\neq0$
$$a(\theta)= \mathbb{E}[\theta\;Y_1]-\log \mathbb{E}[exp\{\theta\;Y_1\}]< 0$$ by strict convexity of the exponential (or Jensen). Thus, on an event $\tilde{\Omega}$ of probability $1$, there exists an $n_0\in\mathbb{N}$ and $M<0$, such that for all $n\geq n_0$,
$$A^\theta_n\leq M\;\;(on\;\tilde{\Omega})\;$$
Hence for $\theta\neq 0$ $$ |Z^\theta_n|\leq e^{nM}\longrightarrow 0\;\;a.s.$$ (For $\theta=1$, $Z_n^1=1$ for all $n$)
Finally, for 3. it suffices to use the continuity of the square root to conclude that $\sqrt{Z_n^\theta}$ converges to $0$ almost surely (provided that $\theta\neq 0$) and the Dominated convergence theorem to pass the limit inside the expectation.
