I'm interested in the BX and the HomeSyn….tell me more and I'd love an invite.
I highly recommend checking out BusinessWeek's BX and connecting up with me while you're at it. It's kind of a hybrid between a social bookmarking site and digg.
Interesting to think about a "gray" area in social media. So much of it is entertaining and useful in actually building real relationships. It would be hard to do it if one "had" to.
You make a great point… Most of social media is about building relationships and it's what I enjoy the most. But I think a lot of folks underestimate just how much work goes into promoting posts.
So many people have a "if I build it, they will come" attitude to blogging. But unless you're a ridiculously great writer, that method almost never works to drive any serious traffic.
Great article Dustin, everyone knows social media sites are the hot thing, but most people don't know how to actually gain any real value from it.
Anyone joining BusinessWeek's BX can connect with me as well.
Kristal, you are right on the money, building real relationships is key to everything we do in our businesses whether in person or online.
Interesting to think about a "gray" area in social media. So much of it is entertaining and useful in actually building real relationships.
Definitely not wrong here Dustin. Great little intro to the value of social media beyond the networking value. Keep up the good work.
I love delicious… but I've been using it so long (you just inspired me to check and my first social bookmark was May '05), that I'd use the service even if it didn't have SEO value. It had a better vibe before yahoo bought the site, but it's still an incredibly valuable way to save and organize links. I've also used it to do some pretty random things (quite effectively I might add) like track internet marketing staff endeavors and RCG's blogroll.
Anyway, it's just so darn easy that when you know there's a minor SEO kick you can get from tagging things "right", then it becomes a no-brainer.
Thanks again for your interest and help spreading word about the post!
These gray areas are pretty intriguing. I use social media to build relationships and have gotten some business from it, but I need to concentrate more on the sites like Digg and Delicious, etc. I help others out there but have never done my own stuff there – need to learn how, I guess.
I definitely notice social media's impact on my posts, sites whatever. I also think that there can be streamlining without automation. Setting up RSS feeds for say a [re promotions] group makes it quick to be in and out etc.
Great article Dustin. I am going to head over to the Business Week site as it sounds well worth the effort.
SEO, linking and such is such a great side effect of utilizing social media. It become a great link building tool, just remember too much is still too much when it comes to google take your time and build slowly.
Thanks for sharing this line of thinking. Most agents I am talking to are frustrated at the amount of time they are putting into social networking expecting it to be a magic bullet. You underscore the importance of having a plan and some understanding of how it all works together.
Gosh Dustin, I wish I could have been there for the discussions….
You have some fantastic info and as a a Realtor, SEO is not really my thing.
Very profound insight and the tips too are great. Starters will definitely dig juicy information here.
Your gray areas are my "accidental" areas. I was just playing with friends online, and somehow all these really good opportunities kept throwing themselves at my feet. It would be wasteful not to pick them up and use them.
I would be very intersted in connecting with you on BX and would also really appreciate an invitation to HomeSyn.
We would be interested in participating in HomeSyn. We are already connected on BusinessWeek BX. We have become a "fan" of your Facebook page.
Look forward to seeing you at REBCLA.
I'll get you set up with an invite in just a bit!
Social media, and social media marketing will surely help any publisher get a good audience online. So anyone who is serious about boosting site traffic should focus too on these sites.
I would be real intersted in conjunctive with you on BX and would also rattling realize an invitation to HomeSyn.
If you have anymore invitations left, I would love to "play"with Homesync.
Dustin, great post (s)! i am a little fuzzy on some of the terminology. What's a "do-follow" versus a "no-follow" site? Kind of like you can "follow" someone on Twitter, and can't on, say, Digg? (not sure of that, even).
I would love to see how HomeSyn works – is "syndicating" pushing listings out to various venues? I work full time and have no listings at this time, but would like to know what you mean by "syndicating" listings!
Looking to connect also via BX/BusinessWeek!
Gina, thank you for your interest!
A few years ago, Google created the concept of a "no follow" link. A no follow link is one where the words ref="no follow" are embedded in the HTML code of the link.
The reason for adding this feature is that google's ranking algorithms are based HEAVILY on links… and google wanted to provide website owners a way to link out to other sites (like advertisers) as well as let people leave links on sites (like the comments of this blog), without necessarily having the webpage give away "value" to that link.
Does this super high-level overview make sense?
It does make sense – however that means someone would have to insert the words ref="no follow" into the link (and I'm thinking "link" isn't the same as a simple "URL" – yes? and I'm not sure a non-developer would be able to do that. Let's say I want to link to my web site e-newsletter page. The link would be http://www.mycompanyname.com/myname/newsletter.asp(configured this way so you don't think I'm trying to spam you!). Is the html *behind* this URL and controlled by the site developer (not me, obviously)? Do non-developers see the "no follow" html code in other links? Sorry to be so obtuse and thank you in advance for your insight.
Sharon: Thanks for reaching out… I'm currently retooling the invite-only group. After playing for a while, a few of us realized we needed to re-tool it a bit and we're currently doing that. Nonetheless, keep checking back with 4realz.net because when I'll mention it here when it gets relaunched!
Great post. I do Social Media Marketing and Online Marketing for a living and I picked up some great pointers.
Most blogs are already set up "out of the box" with "no-follow" links so that's something most people don't have to worry about.
When it comes to bookmarking, you should never bookmark your own posts. Ask a friend or relative to bookmark your posts. And don't have every one of your posts bookmarked. That will be seen as spam. Just have your best ones bookmarked, say, once a month.
I have a feeling Dustin's real estate promotion group works on a similar basis. Which is a fabulous idea. Promote each others posts.
I think This is an informative post and we should follow these steps to get more values to our SEO work.
Dustin, good stuff on social networking. I work for a number of real estate clients internationally and would be interested in joining your 'invited' list when the revamp is completed.

RD.COM True Stories Survival Stories
In a Freak Accident, This Woman Was Shot in the Neck with an Arrow and It Ended Up Saving Her Life
Donna BarbourUpdated: Jun. 10, 2020
Marcos Chin for Reader's Digest
After a backyard accident almost kills her, a Texas woman is taken on a miraculous medical journey.
After we published "How Is He Still Alive?" about a ten-year-old boy who survived a harrowing head injury caused by a skewer, we received a letter from Donna Barbour. Barbour had her own story to tell, and she assured us it was every bit as frightening—and perhaps even more miraculous. She may be right.
It was a warm April evening, and I had gotten home from work about an hour earlier. As I often did after a long day, I went straight to my backyard and did some work in my flower garden before deciding to light the grill to make dinner for my husband and myself. I had only just walked a few steps on the patio when I suddenly felt a horrifying blow to the right side of my neck. It felt as though someone had hit me with a baseball bat. I knew that no one was in the yard with me, so no one could have hit me. Totally confused, I reached up and, to my shock and horror, realized that I had been shot—with an arrow.
I grabbed the arrow with a death grip where it had pierced my neck and ran inside, screaming my husband's name. Ed was in the back of the house talking to our daughter, Keila, on the phone. He dropped the phone and ran to me. Ed grabbed me by the shoulders to stop me from running and told me to lie down on the couch. Then he went to call 911. I lay there and prayed. I didn't know if there was any way that I could survive.
The next hour or so was a crazy, jumbled mix of events. The arrow had come from a young man practicing with a compound bow, used for hunting, in his backyard. Luckily, he was using a practice arrow, which is smooth and rounded; a broadhead arrow for hunting would have killed me. He lived across the alley and was shooting to the north. The arrow had ricocheted and turned back to the south. It went over two, possibly three, fences, through the shrubs and an oak tree, between two large hanging baskets, and into my neck as I walked across the patio. A shot from a compound bow can travel up to 200 miles per hour, or 300 feet per second.
We had EMTs who were simply wonderful that evening. As they entered the house and sat down beside me, they were perfectly calm and totally focused. They called for help from the paramedics and for a medical helicopter from Amarillo, Texas, which is about 65 miles away and the closest city with a trauma center.
As the helicopter lifted off to take me to Amarillo, I felt complete peace. I had seen the large number of people outside my house, and I knew that the Lord was being bombarded with prayers on my behalf. I felt certain that everything would be fine.
At the hospital, family and friends were gathering. I tried hard to reassure them. I kept telling them I was OK, but the looks on their faces told me that they weren't buying it. It was a difficult job since I had an arrow sticking out of my neck!

Soon they took me back for a CT scan to determine the location of the arrow on the inside. The doctors and nurses began telling me how lucky I was. The arrow had gone between the carotid artery and the jugular vein. That space between the two is a quarter of an inch or less. The diameter of the arrow is larger than the space it went through. It actually pushed the artery to the side—without nicking it. There was no bleeding at all. Although I didn't realize at the time how truly incredible this was, I began arguing with them that I wasn't "lucky"; I was "blessed"! This is an argument I have continued to wage ever since.
As I was being taken back to surgery to remove the arrow, my family entered a waiting room full of people—in fact, there were two waiting rooms full! Someone told my son, Kyle, that there was a post on the site texasbowhunter.com asking for prayers for me. It turns out a friend had called her son, who is a bow hunter, and told him about the accident, and he had posted the prayer request on that website.
The morning after my two-hour surgery, with my family all gathered in my room, a couple of the doctors came by to see me. After they left, the surgeon came in. He checked the wound and talked to us about what he had done. Then he told us something that rocked our world again.
Marcos Chin for Reader's DigestHe said that the CT scan had revealed that I had a brain tumor. I remember going a bit numb but thinking, God works in mysterious ways!
The surgeon said they were almost certain the tumor was benign, but it was located in a very difficult place. I was stunned, of course, but I felt like it was God's plan for me to find it.
A few days later, I went in for a second opinion from another neurosurgeon. He said that it was a difficult surgery but that it had to be done. The tumor was about to cross the midline of my brain, which would have resulted in a massive stroke.
The brain surgery was successful, and in less than a week I was back home. I was discouraged and feeling horrible. I had lost a lot of blood from a bacterial infection, Clostridium difficile, and was extremely anemic and weak. I was beginning to have symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, hearing the swoosh and then the thunk of the arrow. Thankfully, that didn't last too long.
All my adventures had taken a toll, and I needed a time of healing and rest. All was uneventful for a couple of years. I continued to tell people that I was not lucky; I was blessed. I had an MRI each year to make sure that the tumor was not growing back. But in 2015, after I had my MRI, the doctor's office called and told me that I needed to come back in to see them.
The doctor explained that there was still no sign of a tumor, but they had found a brain aneurysm. Normally, aneurysms aren't discovered until they rupture, and that is almost always too late. Again, I was facing uncertainty and dreading brain surgery. I simply do not know how people go through times like these without the Lord and the peace that comes from knowing God is in control.
In the weeks before the surgery, I felt at peace with whatever the outcome would be. We went to Dallas for the procedure. They found it was a very fragile and difficult aneurysm, covered with blisters and on the verge of rupturing, but the doctor successfully clipped it.
Had it not been for that arrow, I would have died from a brain tumor, a stroke, or an aneurysm! And honestly, the arrow should have killed me. But it didn't.
For weeks and weeks, everyone gathered around me when I went to the grocery store or the post office. People would stop and hug me and even cry, saying how happy they were that this had happened. It strengthened everyone's faith.
Coincidences? Luck? I think not. The gentleman who wrote the last comment on the prayer-request thread on texasbowhunter.com summed it up in just two words. He simply wrote, "Amazing grace."

Why Arya & Gendry Aren't Meant To Be Endgame In 'Game Of Thrones' Season 8
Helen Sloan/courtesy of HBO
By S. Atkinson
If you're all about the younger Stark sister finally getting a fulfilling love life on Game Of Thrones, then whether or not Arya and Gendry are in love has been plaguing you for a while. Now, you might be asking yourself if Gendry and Arya, in Game of Thrones Season 8, will get together. Given that over three seasons have passed since the blacksmith rowed off into the distance, narrowly escaping being killed as a sacrifice to the Red God by Stannis Baratheon, it seems a little fishy that he's suddenly back. But, honestly, this probably has more to do with his skill as a smith than any possibility of him becoming a Stark's lover. Still, you can't blame folks for wondering, since there's definitely an argument to be made for Arydry or Gendra being endgame.
The pair always had an emotional connection. Arya tearfully told the man with the abs of steel back in Season 3 that she would be his family when the lowborn illegitimate son of King Robert Baratheon explained his poignant reason for staying on to smith for the Brotherhood Without Banners. And this line was significant because, back in 2013, Maisie Williams hinted to Rolling Stone that Arya may have feelings for Gendry. She explained that, when she was doing the scene, "director Alex Graves said 'When you say that last line, 'I can be your family,' say it like 'I love you.'' And that's the take that they used."
So, potentially, the two were always intended to be each other's intended, even way back then.
More recent interviews also imply that Joe Dempsie, who plays Gendry, is eager for their characters to reunite. When the 30-year-old actor spoke to Making Game Of Thrones, he stressed that his character "senses [Arya's] a good soul." When he spoke to The Hollywood Reporter on the same topic in August 2017, he said he was hoping for an Arya and Gendry reunion in Season 8 because "they seemed to get on. It was a nice banter between the two of them. It would be great to revisit that."
Still, Demspie made no bones of the fact that, given the actors' 10 year age gap, he's incredibly uncomfortable about the speculation that their characters may get it on,. "I'm acting alongside a child here," he said of his time filming Season 3. "I was a 25-year-old man." He also stressed that their emotional connection in Season 3 could be attributed to them having a sibling-like bond, arguing, "At that point in the story, Gendry really reminded her of her brothers and of home. That was the comfort with him."
And, honestly, isn't there a more obvious reason why the blacksmith is suddenly back in the picture that was set up for the audience at the end of Season 7? The real emotional connection established for Season 8 wasn't between Gendry and Arya but Gendry and Jon. On one level, this makes sense. They both believed themselves to be the lowborn illegitimate sons of important men. But couldn't this, in fact, be about supply and demand?
Let's not forget who trained the man in his career — none other than Tobho Mott, a master armorer who is an expert in working with Valyrian steel. You might know him from such hits as melting down and reworking Ned Stark's Valyrian steel greatsword Ice into two different longswords, Widow's Wail (currently Jaime Lannister's sword) and Oathkeeper (Brienne of Tarth's sword). If this is the man who trained Gendry, presumably the smith also has some of the same knowledge.
And that's important. Valyrian steel kills White Walkers, for a start, making him a useful ally to Jon when it comes to crafting swords. There's also all that dragonglass Jon has mined, the other material which can kill White Walkers. Presumably, this will be needed to be forged into swords, too.
Given the last living son of Robert Baratheon's flawless credentials in this area, it seems more likely that he's appeared in the nick of time to craft some powerful weapons for the King in the North and help stave off the destruction of humankind as we know it at the hands of White Walkers. And if his and Arya's paths cross and the two get a little flirty? Well, potentially, that could just be a nice extra.

League of Legends surpasses 30 million registered players
Rob LeFebvre
Riot Games announced today that their hit online game League of Legends has surpassed the 30 million registered-player mark along with 11.4 million monthly active users. They have reason to crow, as even the ubiquitous World of Warcraft only reports 10.3 million subscribers.
Perhaps more significantly, over a million games of League of Legends are played each day, many consisting of two to five players, reports the company. In addition, at peak times, the game sees more than 1.3 million concurrent players across North America and Europe. That's a lot of gamers. League of Legends is a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) game, where you play against other online opponents in a combat arena. It's a fast game, like the equivalent of a pick-up basketball game.
Recently acquired, Riot Games is surely adding value for their majority holders, China's Tencent. When purchased back in February for nearly $400 million, Riot Games was reporting "only" 1 million active players. Today's announcement is big news for them, their new majority owners, and for gamers who play the popular game online.
Riot Games first unveiled League of Legends in 2008. The inspiration for the game was the free "mod," or user-generated modification, dubbed "Defense of the Ancients," a popular version of "Warcraft III" that had an estimated 10 million players. That game had its limitations and so Riot Games decided to make a better, brand new game on its own.
"We are extremely proud and appreciative of the devoted League of Legends community which has grown substantially over the last year and a half," says Brandon Beck, chief executive of Riot Games. "We're committed to continuing to match their dedication with our relentless focus on ongoing enhancements to the player experience with great new features, content, and polish – and we have some very exciting surprises in store just around the corner."
Competition includes the older Defense of the Ancients, Heroes of Newerth, and Bloodline Champions, among others. Valve is doing a Defense of the Ancients 2 game.

NEW JACK SWINGS: Congrats to Bruno Mars and Cardi B, who leap from 3-1 on this week's Top 40 chart with "Finesse", the eighth #1 at the format for Mars and the first for Cardi B. Mars collects his second #1 track from the 24K Magic era, as "That's What I Like" spent a total of three weeks at the top last April and May. (The original version of "Finesse" appears on the album, though its current remix does not.) The global hit continues in the top ten at three other radio formats, reaching #1 at one (Rhythmic) during a two-week run last month. Next Sunday, look for "The Middle", a three-way collaboration from Zedd, Maren Morris and Grey, to potentially top the survey, as it advances 5-2 this week with a very healthy bullet.
HOT BLOODED: Launching all the way up at #28, Shawn Mendes scores his sixth top 40 entry and highest debut to date at the Top 40 format with "In My Blood". His previous high of #31 was set by "Treat You Better" back in June 2016. It's the first release off Mendes's third studio album, due sometime later in the year. One extra cut from the album, "Lost In Japan", was released on Friday to both sales and streaming success, though its airplay was minimal. (I'll save the Japanese artists and song titles for another week!) Another top debut on this week's top 40, coming in at #35, is the seventh top 40 song for Halsey, called "Alone". Combined airplay for an edit of the original album version and a new remix with Big Sean and Stefflon Don spiked as a result of the single's second place finish on last Tuesday's adds report, where it pulled in nearly 60 stations on impact.
Among the new entries in the top 50, watch out for "Everybody Hates Me" by The Chainsmokers, logging on at #43, which might become the duo's eighth top 40 song at the format next week. "Sober Up", the former Alternative chart-topper by AJR and Weezer lead singer Rivers Cuomo, is also aiming for the top 40 next week, ranking at #48 on the current update. The trio has a pair of top 40 entries to date, while Cuomo's only solo appearance was in 2010 on B.o.B's "Magic", spending three weeks at #13 in September.

We've been using OpenVPN and Viscosity successfully at our office for quite a while. We recently deployed a new OpenVPN 2.5.2 server at a remote location. This is an Access Server, not the Community Edition, in case that's relevant.
While things are largely working, we're seeing that connections that run for an extended period (like overnight) always eventually terminate with an "Authentication Failed" dialog. Once this happens, the failure seems to "stick". Attempts to reconnect fail until we cancel out and disable the connection. When the connection is reenabled, it works again. Until somewhere around 24 hours where the same problem happens again.
This problem isn't isolated to one person or location. Everyone who has a long lived overnight connection sees this failure. This includes people who are offsite as well as in the office, so with at least three different ISPs involved it seems unlikely to be Internet connectivity related. Most of us are using the latest shipping version of Viscosity.
After searching this forum it sounds like this issue might be resolved in a recent beta of Viscosity. But I tried Viscosity 1.7.10b2 (1452) and it doesn't resolve the problem.
One other fact that might be related is that we're running our 2.5.2 OpenVPN server in high availability mode. When we were testing this configuration, we killed one server and let the other one take over. When we did this, we saw the same kind of "Authentication Failed" behavior. Namely the failure was sticky until we disable and reenable the connection.
When we ran into this we figured failover was such a rare problem that it wasn't worth reporting. But now we're seeing what appears to be the same behavior on a daily basis without the server failing over, it seems like this is a bug that is worth understanding.
I'm not saying that something related to the high availability configuration is causing the problem. I'm suggesting that that is one reliable way of reproducing what seems to be the same client side failure. Perhaps it would be easier to debug than waiting 24-ish hours. Or at the very least, maybe there's some similarity between the cases that might help with an "ah-ha" moment that explains the problem.
2018-05-31 10:00:12: Connection is reachable. Starting connection attempt.
2018-05-31 10:00:13: WARNING: --ns-cert-type is DEPRECATED.  Use --remote-cert-tls instead.
2018-06-01 10:00:16: WARNING: --ns-cert-type is DEPRECATED.  Use --remote-cert-tls instead.
2018-06-01 11:02:44: Connection is reachable. Starting connection attempt.
2018-06-01 11:02:45: WARNING: --ns-cert-type is DEPRECATED.  Use --remote-cert-tls instead.
Thanks in advance for any help resolving this issue.
After being connected for a long time (I believe OpenVPN AS's default is 24 hours) the session token will eventually expire (for security reasons) and so if a dropout occurs, or a regular TLS session re-key, the cached session token will be rejected by the server. The client should then attempt to re-authenticate as normal.
Thanks for getting back to me James.
I'll try option #1 and leave it running overnight to test it.
Unfortunately I got the same authentication error. This is after making the recommended config changes under suggestion #1, connecting, then waiting.
So I guess I should try recommendation #2? It seems less desirable to make server side changes.
Also, I just got a notification of 1.7.10b3 (under the authentication error, so it happened around the same time). Should I go ahead and update to that version?
We've gone ahead and patched OpenVPN to disable its inbuilt session token support in the latest beta version of Viscosity. This should resolve the issue you're having with expired session tokens, as Viscosity itself will handle them. Please give it a try and let us know if you run into any issues.
Thanks for the follow up James. I didn't see your reply right away. I guess I don't have forum notifications enabled.
In any case, I updated to your latest beta yesterday and have successfully kept an open connection for over 24 hours. Looks like your fix works.

Home Entertainment Twin Peaks Season 4: Release Date and Everything We Know So Far
Twin Peaks Season 4: Release Date and Everything We Know So Far
Steven Lembart
twin peaks season 4 release date, twin peaks season 4 trailer, twin peaks season 4 episodes, twin peaks season 4 spoilers, twin peaks sequel, twin peaks season 4 cast, twin peaks season 4 plot
Twin Peaks Season 4: The upcoming sequel of Twin Peaks tv series is not going to release soon. It has been one of the most loved shows of all times. And recently, it featured one of the best finales ever. However, it failed to answer a lot of questions. Rather, it asked much more.
As a result, it has arisen many fans to wonder that there should be more follow-up story after it. It can't be the end of the story of agent Dale Cooper. It's because the final moments of the finale episode pointed towards many aspects which David Lynch and Mark Frost should follow, maybe in future.
Twin Peaks Season 4 Release Date
1 Twin Peaks Season 4 Release Date
1.2 Twin Peaks season 4 Cast
But, there hasn't been any official word on the return of season 4 for Twin Peaks. It is being speculated that it won't return until 2021, if ever. Throughout the last season, there was no clue that there could be more story to this series revival. However, open endings have been the specialty of Lynch. Also, there's no reason to change the nature of things.
The Showtime president and CEO David Nevins was also asked about the s4 return. He said that it was always meant to be just one season and nothing more. He added that fans are speculating about the sequel, but there has been no discussions within the network or team rather it's just the fans asking him about it.
Related: Breaking Bad season 6.
However, the Programming head Gary Levine told us that they have kept their door always open to David Lynch. He revealed that he don't know if he wants to make one more installment. He took a lot of effort and worked 18 hours in a row of a series to get it done. It has been remarkable journey. Levine said that he is satisfied that fans are loving it.
Showtime seems to support the show. But, the more possible reason for the barriers is its steadily dropping ratings. TwinPeaks has drawn an average of 300,000 live viewers per episode for this last season. But, on the whole, it has garnered over 2 million viewers per episode. Nevins believes that the show is still a success as more than average percentage of viewers can to stream later on.
After a while, director Lynch also broke his silence over the season 4 possibility. When asked if fourth installment is one the cards, he said that it would be too early to say if it could happen. Even if that meant to take place, it would take a couple of years. It's because it took him 4.5 years to write and film the third installment.
After the seson 3 ended, co-creator Mark Frost released a book called The Final Dossier, which answered some questions which audience was looking for. Also, he emphasized while talking to TheReporterTimes that it wasn't the end for him and Twin Peaks.
There's no updated on this so far.
Twin Peaks season 4 Cast
The season 4 can't happen without MacLachlan's Dale Cooper whenever it returns. We expect the likes of Sherilyn Fenn (Audrey Horne), Madchen Amick (Shelly Johnson), Laura Dern (Diane Evans), Naomi Watts (Janey E Jones), Grace Zabriskie (Sarah Palmer), Michael Horse (Deputy Chief Hawk), Dana Ashbrook (Bobby Briggs), Sheryl Lee as Carrie Page, and, of course, Lynch himself as Gordon Cole.
Speaking about the possibility of continuing Carrie's story, Lynch said: "It is calling, but there are a lot of disturbances."
Don't forget to share it on social media sites. What are your expectations? Stay tuned to TheReporterTimes for more.

Novel of Shipwreck and Grief Addresses the Big Questions
Patti Callahan SURVIVING SAVANNAH Author Photo Credit: Bud Johnson Photography
Alabama Public Radio | Don Noble March 10, 2021
Patti Callahan Henry had 13 "popular" books and then, perhaps to signify more serious content, published the terrifically successful "Becoming Mrs. Lewis" as Patti Callahan.
"Surviving Savannah" is also a "Patti Callahan" novel, and it too is serious business—about death, catastrophe, fate, guilt, God, depression, survival, love, luck—as Zorba would put it, "the full catastrophe."
There are two stories, 180 years apart; two casts of characters.
In 2018, our first-person narrator, Everly Winthrop, of an old Savannah family, is a history professor at SCAD and a museum curator.
She had, just a year earlier, endured a horrific event. At a parade, a drunk driver ploughed into the crowd and killed Everly's best friend, Mora.
It could just as well have been Everly who died. Why wasn't it? Although the real guilty party was the drunk driver, Everly is sunk in grief and very pointed survivor guilt, which has isolated her, cut her off from family and friends, from joy, from life. Now in unproductive therapy, Everly is bitter.
Perhaps Everly will be roused from her fugue state by working on a museum exhibit featuring the newly found wreckage of the steamship "Pulaski," which went down in 1838. The "Pulaski" was the "Titanic" of its day—modern, fast and, presumably, safe.
The chapters alternate between the two time periods.
In those antebellum and ante-air-conditioning days, some rich Southerners went north for the summer to escape the heat, bugs, malaria, yellow fever etc. of their city, actually bringing some of their slaves with them, along with their china and silver. They set up complete and ostentatious housekeeping in places like Saratoga Springs, New York, a long way to go.
The "Pulaski," two days out of Savannah, at 11:04 P.M., blows up 35 miles off the coast of North Carolina.
Many are killed or drowned at once. But some cling to floating wreckage or manage to get into the leaky and inadequate lifeboats. We see examples of great bravery and sacrifice, and some poor and selfish behavior. Hard choices have to be made.
The survivors are in desperate straits—injured, burned, sunburned, dehydrated, in shock from seeing family and friends die. For four days we observe these survivors, who, though suffering intensely, still have time to think about and sometimes discuss their situation.
"Surviving Savannah" is both a thriller, like the movie "Titanic," and a novel of ideas.
The big questions arise.
Was the boiler explosion God's will? What kind of god kills innocent people for no reason?
Do we frail humans have any real power against the forces of nature? Are those forces malign or indifferent? Some readers will see similarities to Steven Crane's story, "The Open Boat," where these questions are pondered.
Are the survivors in some way chosen? Just luck? If you survive, does that mean you are chosen, saved for a reason, perhaps to do something special? It is suggested that there is no real imperative for a particular path forward; you have been given a second chance, and what you do with it is up to you.
In fact, a catastrophe like the "Pulaski," or the Holocaust, on an immensely larger scale, drives some survivors not to a belief in Divine Providence, but to disbelief. One character declares "I will not adore a god that killed my family. There is no such entity."
It turns out that some innocent and virtuous persons drowned and some of the saved are pretty rotten, including a sadistic wife beater and a boy who grows up to be a notorious slave trader.
Catastrophe has a leveling effect; some become instantly aware of the shallow nature of their social pretensions, the relative worthlessness of their social caste, wealth, their trunks of gold and silver now at the bottom of the sea, and, as is often the case, realize that time is short, life is short, and if there is someone you love, it would be good to tell them, soon, before the raft sinks.
Then, Callahan reminds us, these characters, Everly and the shipwrecked ones, have to survive surviving, and some, saved, choose not to return, to seek a different life altogether.
In the present, Everly immerses herself in reams of documents, and, not unexpectedly, finds some healing in her work. Some, including Mora's mother, insist "The past can't be changed, and it's better not to know": ignore it, let it lie.
But bringing to light the stories of these long-forgotten people helps Everly bring herself back to life.

A little bird told me you are not attending Mass. Stewart hasn't sent the parcel yet. The enemy attacked from behind. Donna gets drunk almost every day. Tomorrow, you are going to paint the fence. The foreigner soon got used to Japanese food. Theo may be the traitor. Don't make the perm too strong, please. Lex talked about growing up in Boston. Jochen was roughed up by the police.
He is working for social welfare. I ordered a pizza. He would accept no compromise. Some shadow of doubt now covered his face. Our teacher warned him not to be late again. Nobody knocks on my door. No means no. I would like to open a checking account. Misfortune dogged him all his life. Your watch seems to be very valuable.
They are important matters. What did Cris say this time? Careful driving prevents accidents. I hope I find someone who can help us. Barbra didn't come with us. What am I expected to do when I get there? My sun inside rises from space. We'll have to wait a couple of hours. It's people like you who make the world go round. I think I could learn a lot from you.
What does this have to do with anything? My bonsai, which is the cherry tree, is starting to bloom. King took advantage of a tax loophole. If we read this book we are able to comprehend more about the country. We're approximately the same height. The car turned left. She's the teacher's pet. There was broken glass everywhere. Were you drinking? This is the heaviest snowfall we have ever had.
Maybe you can help me find out where Charley went. He put his affairs in order. How many sailors were aboard the ship that sunk? Your eyesight's gonna be ruined if all you do is play games. This is very confusing. We ran out of food. It sounds like you're tired. Did you visit the haunted house? I cracked one. I won't answer questions.
I met them at church. I'm finished eating. I like him very much. Timo worked his fingers to the bone. A bird in hand is better than two in the bush. I tested everything. The workman, as a rule, works eight hours a day. They used a proxy to contact us. The condition of Man is a condition of Warre of every one against every one. That will fly on the market.
I think I can arrange that. Has Marek's French improved? Shai is good with kids. I met one of my friends on my way home. The 48-year-old Ryouichi Kawakatsu took over as coach at Fukuoka in June this year, but his fate is closely linked with that of 46-year-old Matsuda. I don't want you to worry about me. I didn't want to let Hector down. It's better to be a well-known boozer than an anonymous alcoholic. Let's have dinner before we go to the baseball game. Don't rule it out completely.
Ernst seems to have no interest in baseball. Billy abused my trust. You sound desperate. I think about her all day. You're not a morning person, are you? Don't worry. Cathryn can fix anything. The politician tried to cover up the insider trading. Vincent said Lars did a good job. He said that if he knew her address, he would write to her. Don't bother calling security.
I'm busy here. Vladislav is forgiven. Say nothing except the truth. Where do you think all the money goes? I love it when he does that. That man is a man content with his fate. You can not pull the wool over my eyes. What exactly are you getting at? Saqib has a four-year degree. There's a difference.

English, MA
for the degree of Master of Arts in English
head of department: Bob Markley
director of graduate studies: Andrew Gaedtke
overview of department admissions & requirements: https://english.illinois.edu/admissions/graduate-admission
department website: http://www.english.illinois.edu
department office: 210 English Building, 608 South Wright Street, Urbana, IL 61801
email: engl_resources@ad.uiuc.edu
The Department of English offers programs of study leading to the Master of Arts and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees. We welcome qualified students who wish to pursue their interests in English, American, and Anglophone language, literature and film beyond the undergraduate level. The Ph.D. program is, in general, designed to educate and train teacher-scholars who will take positions in colleges and universities throughout the country. We consider the Master of Arts program to be the first step toward the Ph.D. degree; we expect students admitted to the M.A. program to receive the M.A. and go on to complete a Ph.D. We therefore do not offer a formal terminal M.A. program.
Both the M.A. and Ph.D. may be earned with a specialization in Writing Studies. Also, doctoral students specializing in other fields may earn a graduate concentration in Writing Studies.
Graduate Degree Programs in English
concentration: Medieval Studies
English, PhD
concentration: Medieval Studies|Writing Studies
for information on the Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) program in Creative Writing, see Creative Writing.
Affiliated Programs offering certificates or minors:
Department of African American Studies
Asian American Studies Program
American Indian Studies
Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies
Gender and Women's Studies Program
The Holocaust, Genocide, and Memory Studies Initiative
Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities
Latina-Latino Studies Program
The Program in Jewish Culture and Society
Unit for Cinema Studies
Unit for Criticism and Theory
A student who wishes to be considered for admission to graduate studies in English must present the equivalent of at least 20 semester hours of undergraduate work in English and American literature, excluding required work in rhetoric or composition. Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores are required for those applying for the Literary Studies and Writing Studies programs. The GRE subject test for literature in English is not required. For the 2021-2022 application season, the English Department is not requiring the GRE general test, and such scores will not be considered by the readers of applications in their deliberations. All applicants whose native language is not English are required to submit Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) scores. Currently, a minimum score of 550 on the paper-based test (213 on the computer-based test) is required. Before a teaching assistantship involving classroom instruction or student consultation can be awarded to a non-native speaker of English, the applicant must take the Test of Spoken English (TSE) and achieve a score of 50 or higher (230 or higher before 1996). Because applications for admission usually far exceed capacity, in recent years undergraduate grade point averages of students admitted have been significantly higher than the 3.0 (A = 4.0) required by the Graduate College. The committee on admissions tends to select those applicants who have a solid array of undergraduate courses, knowledge of a foreign language, strong recommendations, and a compelling writing sample: in short, an academic record that shows promise of doing outstanding work in the field and earning degrees within a reasonable time. We do not admit part-time students. Applicants are considered only in spring for fall admission, and the deadline for submitting applications is noon on December 2nd.
Experience in teaching is considered a vital part of the graduate program and all M.A. and Ph.D. candidates will have ample opportunity to teach undergraduate writing classes.
Financial aid is available to students in the form of fellowships, teaching assistantships, research assistantships, and waivers of tuition and service fees. For complete information about the program, prospective applicants should consult our website at https://english.illinois.edu/admissions/graduate-admission or write to the above address.
A full-time student can complete this program in two academic years. Students must choose to complete a specialization in Literature or Writing Studies.
Virtually every student will teach rhetoric classes, and is required to enroll in a teaching proseminar (ENGL 593). 4
Course work selected from list below in consultation with advisor
Language Requirement: Students must demonstrate a reading knowledge of at least one foreign language.
At least two semesters or the equivalent in residence
Minimum Hours Overall Required Within the Unit: 24 (12 at 500-level)
For additional details and requirements refer to the department's Graduate Studies in English Website and the Graduate College Handbook.
Course work listing for M.A. requirements for the Literature Specialization:
Eight semester-long courses in British and American Literature and Critical Theory.
Courses (worth four hours of credit each) must be taken in six of the following nine areas:
Medieval British Literature (beginning to 1485)
Renaissance British Literature (1485-1660)
Restoration/Eighteenth-Century British Literature (1660-1800)
Nineteenth-Century British Literature (1800-1900
Twentieth-Century British Literature (1900-2000)
Early American Literature (beginning to Civil War)
Later American Literature(Civil War to present)
Anglophone Literature (other than British and American)
Candidates may substitute another area (such as film) for one on the above list with the permission of the Director of English Graduate Studies. However, all students must take at least one course in a period before 1660, and one course in either Early or Later American Literature.
At least four of the eight courses must be in 500-level graduate seminars (limited to 14-18 students). The others may (but need not) be in 400-level courses (limited to 36 students) in which graduate students complete work beyond that expected of undergraduates.
In their first year of teaching, students are required to complete a Professional Seminar in the teaching of composition or business and technical writing for four hours of credit. (ENGL 593)
The Foreign Language Requirement may be satisfied by demonstrating a reading knowledge of an appropriate foreign language in one of the following three ways:
By completing the equivalent of three full years of undergraduate work
By passing a proficiency exam administered by a UIUC foreign language department
By passing a non-credit 501 language course with a grade of B or better
Course work listing for M.A. requirements for the Writing Specialization:
Eight semester-long courses in Writing Studies, Literature, and Theory.
Courses (worth four hours each) must be taken as follows:
At least 16 of the 32 required hours must be in 500-level courses. Eight of the 16 hours must be ENGL 505 and 1 course from the following list: ENGL 582, ENGL 583, ENGL 584. In addition, students must take two courses in Literature or Theory and four courses approved by the Writing Studies advisor.
At least four of the eight courses must be 500-level graduate seminars (limited to 14-18 students). The others may (but need not) be 400-level courses (limited to 36 students) in which graduate students complete work in addition to that expected of undergraduates.
In their first year of teaching, students are required to complete a Professional Seminar (ENGL 593) in the teaching of composition or the teaching of business and technical writing for four hours of credit.
By passing a proficiency exam administered by a University of Illinois foreign language department
By passing a non-credit 501 language course with a grade of B or better.

Infection in General Population Mirrors Pediatric Prevalence, UCSF Study Shows
Source UCSF
As schools across the country continue to wrestle with configurations of online and in-classroom learning, a new study from UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals shows that public data and a simple equation may be all that is required to estimate the number of infected students who might be in a classroom. The result may help school districts make tough decisions on whether it is safe for students to return to the classroom, and in what numbers.
UCSF has created an interactive tool to allow users to estimate the likelihood that a child in any county of the United States may have asymptomatic COVID-19. This tool may be used for estimating the risks associated with classrooms of different sizes.
In the study, which publishes in JAMA Pediatrics on Aug. 25, 2020, researchers compared the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, among asymptomatic children and found that it roughly reflected the number of confirmed local cases in the general population.
Prevalence-of-SARS-CoV-2-Infection-in-ChildrenDownload
The researchers traced SARS-CoV-2 testing results for more than 33,000 children from 28 hospitals in 25 regions nationwide, who had been routinely tested prior to undergoing surgical procedures or medical care unrelated to the virus. Some 250 patients were found to have asymptomatic COVID, the most common manifestation of the virus in children. These patients represented 0.65 percent of all pediatric patients tested, or one in 155; ranging from 0 percent to 2.2 percent depending on the region.
Linear Relationship Consistent Across All Regions
The researchers then compared the data for each hospital with weekly confirmed cases in the hospital's catchment area, available on Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Research Center. "We found that there was a linear relationship between the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infections in the asymptomatic pediatric population and cases in the general population, and that this relationship was consistent across all regions," said senior author Dylan K. Chan, MD, PhD, from the UCSF Division of Pediatric Otolaryngology. "A region that had twice as high a rate of COVID in the general population compared to another region, had twice as high a rate of asymptomatic pediatric infections."
The researchers reversed this operation, calculating the asymptomatic pediatric prevalence by using the public data, together with an equation they had developed (asymptomatic pediatric prevalence (%) = 1.07 x the weekly incidence (per 1000 general population) + 0.23). "We plugged a different, later set of public data into our equation and generated 'estimated' prevalence numbers," said Chan. "When we compared them to the updated actual prevalence numbers that we then obtained for an additional 15,000 asymptomatic children, we found our estimates were pretty accurate."
As an example, the prevalence of asymptomatic COVID among the patients tested at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital San Francisco – one of the 28 hospitals in the study – was 0.64 percent in June. The catchment area for the hospital covers the cities of San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose and surrounding 14 counties. The researchers used weekly confirmed cases in public data from this catchment area over the same time period, applied their equation and reached 0.79 percent, which was within the statistical error of the actual measurement.
Chan asserts that this formula can be used to calculate the risk that an infected asymptomatic child is in a classroom. "Widespread testing is impractical since you would need to test thousands of kids in a community to get an approximation of asymptomatic infection," Chan said, noting that data from a city population of 1,000 with a single case would preclude a precise estimation.
Risk in S.F. Schools Reaches 30 Percent
Based on public data for the first half of August, the estimated asymptomatic pediatric prevalence for San Francisco would be 1.1 percent, according to the researchers. In a hybrid-model classroom with 11 students, even if all students had been screened for symptoms of COVID-19 and were asymptomatic, there would be an 11 percent chance of at least one infected asymptomatic student. In a regular lower-grade classroom with 22 students, that risk would be elevated to 22 percent, and with a regular upper-grade class with 33 students, the risk would reach 30 percent.
In Merced County, in California's Central Valley, the estimated pediatric prevalence is 4.6 percent, resulting in a 40 percent chance of having at least one infected student in a hybrid-model classroom with 11 students, 64 percent in a 22-student classroom and 79 percent in a 33-student classroom. In contrast, the estimated pediatric prevalence in New York is 0.7 percent, with the chance of having at least one infected student in the classroom pegged at 8 percent, 15 percent and 21 percent respectively.
While the risk of an asymptomatic child infecting another child remains unknown, the model may represent the best means of estimating the percentage of children with active but asymptomatic COVID using continuously updated public data, said Chan. Because the team developed the model using 25 different regions spanning the country, the researchers believe their findings should be generalizable to most communities nationwide.
