The 2008 financial crisis was ripe for a meltdown since those most literate with the world's financial laws and limits were accomplices in the damage. An obscure and unquestioned governance system was the ideal setting for public negligence and private greed. 2008 proved that banks are not "too big to fail." The regulators and traders skirted responsibility and hit a windfall, while about 10 trillion dollars was taken from people's financial assets. The system crashed, the banks failed their customers, and yet in 2017 it is still business as usual. In 2017 we should be wondering about the Great Lakes: will they crash as well?
The all-day symposium features speakers, roundtable discussions and several performances. Registration begins at 8:00 am with an opening ceremony by gkisedtanamoogk of the Wampanoag Nation at 8:30 am.. Following the ceremony John Bear Mitchell, a storyteller from the Penobscot Nation, will share a story on water themes just prior to John Bank's talk which will take place at 9:15-10 am.

Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, who loved to have fun and pray alike, offers a holy example of lay life, according to his niece. (Public domain)
In Person | Jul. 4, 2019
Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati Is First Modern Lay Saint, According to Niece
On the 94th anniversary of his death, niece Wanda Gawronska discusses some of the unknown aspects of her uncle's life and spirituality.
Solène Tadié
ROME — On July 4, 1925, Pier Giorgio Frassati died of polio, which he contracted at a man's bedside a few days earlier, at the age of only 24. Almost a century later, his testimony to living a life devoted to God has spread around the world, inspiring countless vocations, especially among young people.
Born on April 6, 1901, in Turin, Italy, Frassati dedicated his short existence to social-justice issues and was a member of the Third Order of St. Dominic as well as Catholic Action and various charitable organizations such as the St. Vincent de Paul Society. He drew from the Gospel his particular concern for the least of this world and spared no effort to assist the poor, the sick and the marginalized of his hometown.
He was beatified by Pope John Paul II in May 1990 in Rome.
As a layman, Blessed Frassati embodied the perfect balance between a life of prayer and a deep commitment to practicing his faith in the world, especially through acts of charity benefiting others. Frassati had numerous areas of interest and attached great value to his friends and the activities they often organized together, including mountain hikes in the nearby city of Pollone.
Wanda Gawronska is the daughter of Luciana Gawronska, Frassati's younger sister. Although she never knew her uncle, Wanda was deeply struck by his model of sanctity and is still working tirelessly, despite her advanced age, to share his message of hope with the world.
In this interview with the Register, his 92-year-old niece discusses her blessed uncle's unique spirituality and also reveals some of the unexplored elements of his life, such as his political commitment and his special devotion to the Virgin Mary.
You've dedicated the past three decades to sharing Pier Giorgio Frassati's testimony of faith with the world. How did he influence your personal life?
Actually, I discovered his life very late. I did hear about "a holy uncle" when I was young, but I have to admit I was not very interested at that time. My mother did not speak about him so often, even though I knew he played such an important role in her life. We weren't obsessed with our "holy uncle."
I got to know him in 1975 only, when I was already 48, on the occasion of an exhibition about his life that my mother, Luciana Gawronska [Frassati's sister], organized for the 50th anniversary of his death. My mother asked me to help her with it, as I used to be a photojournalist. But I realized I actually didn't know anything about my uncle, so I started exploring his life. I then became fascinated with him and the way he engaged life, how he followed the saying of his beloved St. Catherine of Siena, "If you are what you ought to be, you will set the world on fire!" This is how I got involved in making him known. It is so precious and important that someone had to do it full time.
Is the awareness of having such a holy man in your family a source of strength in your life?
I have to say that I've never really felt he was my uncle. First of all because it is difficult to imagine that such a young man can be your uncle! He is far more than an uncle. The fact that he's part of my family gives me the opportunity to have access to many more direct sources of information. It is helpful for what I do. It is hard work, but it gives me such joy. It has given me the chance to encounter so many extraordinary young people!
However, he is indeed a source of strength for me, but it also makes me feel guilty sometimes, as I feel incapable of being worthy of his testimony of life! Nevertheless, I feel a very strong protection from him for our entire family. We all feel this incredible protection. We know that he resolves many issues in our lives.
Do you pray to him often?
Actually, I talk to him as if he were here. I ask him things. I ask for his help. People used to tell my mother to pray to Pier Giorgio for some intercessions. Once I remember her answering, "I won't pray to him — I'll tell him!" We feel his presence, and we ask for his help in many different situations of life.
Pope John Paul II, who beatified Pier Giorgio in 1990, has always had a strong relationship with him. Can you tell me more about it?
Karol Wojtyla knew about his life when he was a young man, as a biography of Pier Giorgio was published in Poland in 1929, and he was edified by his testimony. When he came to Pollone in 1989 to pray at Pier Giorgio's tomb he said, "I, too, in my youth, felt the beneficial influence of his example, and, as a student, I was impressed by the force of his Christian testimony."
In 1977, when he was still quite an unknown cardinal, Wojtyla called him "The Man of the Eight Beatitudes," while Pier Giorgio was just a Servant of God. What more could be said about the holiness of Pier Giorgio? For me, that statement is like a canonization. One year later, Cardinal Wojtyla became pope under the name of John Paul II.
How do you explain the fact that Pier Giorgio is still so popular among young people?
He is absolutely one of a kind! There is a perception for some that in order to be a saint one has to disconnect from life in the world. Karl Rahner, who knew Pier Giorgio when they were about 20 years old, wrote about this point. He said that we are looking for a saint like Pier Giorgio today, a saint whose spirituality and life in the world are fully integrated, living Christianity in a way in which his spirituality does not take away from his humanity, nor do his activities in the world detract from his relationship with Christ.
He was interested in a thousand different things.
Pier Giorgio is proof that it is also possible to be holy while living entirely with the world, having fun with friends, drinking a glass of wine, going to theater, at school … his living with the world, enjoying the beauties of the world; but that didn't lessen the spiritual part of his life — on the contrary.
And he had the exact same problems and concerns as so many young people today. He used to have difficulties with exams, which weighed down on him a lot. This is why many students identify themselves with him. He also had problems with his parents, who didn't get along and who were about to separate. He also secretly loved a young woman that he decided to let go. His joyful faith and his freedom are also a great source of inspiration for youth. Pier Giorgio instilled the idea that faith is not something that limits you; on the contrary, it frees you; it gives you wings. He used to have an incredible freedom in his opinions, choices — in everything. He believed that freedom is the greatest gift that God gave to his creatures.
And on top of that, he was also a good-looking man, so he is such a fascinating symbol for many young ladies!
He is, indeed, a rare model of lay sanctity for the world.
Pier Giorgio is the first modern lay saint! He lived by the principles of Vatican II at the beginning of the 20th century [what the Church was teaching near the end of the 20th century]. He anticipated the role of laypeople within the Church. He is the first saint of the encyclical Rerum Novarum.
And his example is a source of inspiration for everyone. A priestly fraternity called "Fraternità Sacerdotale dei Preti Loschi di Pier Giorgio Frassati" [in reference to the society of friends Pier Giorgio created, which he jokingly called "Società dei Tipi Loschi" (The Shady Guys Society)] was recently created in Italy.
How would you define his apostolate?
He used to define his own apostolate as an apostolate of persuasion. In a talk he gave to the members of the Catholic youth of Pollone in 1923, he wrote that, before starting any kind of apostolate, we must first of all focus on our own personal formation, and then comes the apostolate. There are three apostolates, according to him: example, charity and persuasion — which, according to him, is the most beautiful one. His letters are a must-read to better understand his approach to the apostolate!
You often highlight the slowness of his beatification process, which lasted decades. How do you explain that?
In regards to canonization, there is no [second] miracle approved, which is the only request the Church makes. Why is there no miracle? Because there is not enough information about him out there, no formal organization to introduce him to the faithful, not enough people asking for his prayers or informing about graces received.
Why, in your estimation, is your uncle so popular in the United States?
He is a layman whose example is totally compatible with everyday life. What strikes me the most about him is the fact that his testimony can edify any kind of person, including priests, monks and seminarians. In the U.S. there are so many seminaries that dedicated a floor to him, for example. There are also nuns that take Pier Giorgio's name, asking to be called "Sister Frassati." Many Dominican priests and brothers there also take his name.
And the way he used to live his faith is close to the way young American Catholics do nowadays.
A pretty unexplored aspect of his life is his political commitment.
It is a very important aspect of Pier Giorgio's life! Unfortunately, no one stresses such an aspect when talking about him. He was a member of the Italian People's Party, founded by Sicilian priest Luigi Sturzo. It was the first time Catholics had a political party. Pier Giorgio was a very active member of this party.
He fought a lot — first against the communists and later the fascists at that time. He also had strong connections with young people from other countries working for peace. In the aftermath of World War I, he rightly felt it was important to strengthen the relationship between the young in Italy and in Germany. He felt that brotherhood has no borders.
Just like Father Luigi Sturzo and his own father, Alfredo Frassati, a politician and a journalist, founder of the well-known Italian newspaper La Stampa, Pier Giorgio was in favor of separation of Church and state. He used to think that charity was not enough, that reforms were necessary. He was convinced of the necessity for Catholics to commit themselves in public and political life.
What would he like to teach to today's world, in your opinion?
One of his greatest messages to the world, especially to youth, is that it is worth committing oneself to the faith. For me, Pier Giorgio's motto that describes him is not "To the Heights," with which many like to remember him; but a better motto is "Live — do not just 'get along.'" He once wrote: "What a grace it is to be a Catholic. To live without faith, without a heritage to defend, without battling constantly for truth, is not to live but to 'get along'; we must never just 'get along.'"
According to Pier Giorgio, we must not be afraid to make commitments. This is the recipe for joy, even if there may be suffering. Suffering is also a way to God, as we get stronger and improve ourselves. Very often in his letters to friends, Pier Giorgio asks them to pray so that he can strengthen his will, so that he won't fail his projects. Today, we no longer teach children to be strong-willed. If God gives you a grace, you must have the strength of character that enables you to respond to such a grace.
You've just quoted Pier Giorgio's most famous motto — "To the Heights." He wrote it on the back of the picture of his last mountain hike, a few weeks before he died. How do you interpret it?
The picture was taken on Sunday, June 7, 1925. We cannot know if he actually felt that death was imminent. Some of his letters at the same period are pretty mysterious because he said things like "I am about to reap what I've been sowing." What does that mean? Was he talking about his exams or something greater?
In one of his last letters, responding to a friend who was asking what his projects would be after graduation, he writes: "I would like to defend these unique and true things, in the state that the Lord will choose." He is talking about evangelization. He doesn't say what he would like to do after graduation, in his professional life, as an engineer, for instance. He says "in the state that the Lord will choose." And the Good Lord gave him the largest field he could have — he took him to heaven. There he can evangelize the whole world!
Blessed Pier Giorgio's special relationship with the Virgin Mary is another relatively unknown aspect of his spirituality. Can you tell us something about it?
His best friend used to say we cannot understand Pier Giorgio's spirituality if we don't know his relationship with the Virgin Mary. He always carried his rosary in his pocket and was known to give them away to his friends. Once, when leaving church, rosary still in hand, a friend who saw him running by asked him, "Pier Giorgio, have you become pietistic?" "No, I have remained a Christian!" was his quick reply.
In his room, he displayed on the wall the Prayer of St. Bernard to Mary ["O Virgin Mother, Daughter of Thy Son" ...], from Dante's Paradiso. Pier Giorgio copied the text by hand and put it on the wall of his room. The two sanctuaries where he most expressed his devotion were the Sanctuary of Oropa and La Consolata.
In 1920, he was at the fourth coronation of the black wooden Virgin statue of the Sanctuary of Oropa in Biella, Piedmont. This coronation has happened every century since 1620. The fifth coronation will take place next year, in August of 2020. On that occasion we plan to organize a meeting of Pier Giorgio's friends in order to pray for the intercession of the Virgin Mary for Christian values in Europe. We would like to do use the European flag, a symbol of the event, highlighting the reason for its 12 stars.

American Mom Stabbed to Death in Abu Dhabi Mall Restroom
Filed to: Murder
Reem Island
According to reports, an American mother of twins was stabbed to death Monday after getting into an argument with another woman in an Abu Dhabi shopping mall bathroom.
Local police say witnesses saw the woman and her killer arguing in a public restroom at the Boutik Mall on Reem Island—a popular expat destination a few miles off the coast of Abu Dhabi island. The 37-year-old victim, identified only as ARB, was reportedly a divorced school teacher.
One restaurant employee told the UAE website the National that she overheard the fight:
I heard one of them threatening the other saying 'Sit down or I'll kill you'."
The restaurant employee said she then heard banging sounds from the stall.
"I heard one of them try to call out for help. By this time there were three of us outside the toilet and one of us ran to get security. When the female security guard arrived they told us to leave the bathroom. I was so scared and frightened for her," she said.
Although police later recovered the murder weapon, which they described only as a "sharp object," identifying the assailant may be difficult—she was reportedly wearing a full abaya, niqab and gloves.
In the UAE, convicted murderers are usually punished with death—generally by firing squad—although family members of the deceased are sometimes permitted to pardon the offenders.

Julian Assange is the subject of a U.S. indictment, says a document filed in error: prosecutors
American prosecutors have obtained a sealed indictment against Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, whose website published thousands of classified U.S. government documents, a U.S. federal court document showed on Thursday.
The document, which prosecutors say was filed by mistake, asks a judge to seal documents in a criminal case unrelated to Assange, and carries markings indicating it was originally filed in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia in August.
Coverage of Julian Assange on Globalnews.ca:
U.S. Democratic Party suing Trump campaign, WikiLeaks and Russia over alleged collusion
A source familiar with the matter said the document was initially sealed but unsealed this week for reasons that are unclear at the moment.
On social network Twitter, Wikileaks said it was an "apparent cut-and-paste error."
U.S. officials had no comment on the disclosure in the document about a sealed indictment of Assange. It is unclear what charges Assange faces.

But Joshua Stueve, a spokesman for the prosecutors' office which filed the document that was unsealed, told Reuters, "The court filing was made in error. That was not the intended name for this filing."
Reuters was unable to immediately reach Assange or his lawyers to seek comment.
Prosecutors sought to keep the charges confidential until after Assange's arrest, the document shows, saying the move was essential to ensure he did not evade or avoid arrest and extradition in the case.

Any procedure "short of sealing will not adequately protect the needs of law enforcement at this time because, due to the sophistication of the defendant, and the publicity surrounding the case, no other procedure is likely to keep confidential the fact that Assange has been charged," the document reads.
It adds, "The complaint, supporting affidavit, and arrest warrant, as well as this motion and the proposed order, would need to remain sealed until Assange is arrested in connection with the charges in the criminal complaint and can therefore no longer evade or avoid arrest and extradition in this matter."
U.S. officials have previously acknowledged that federal prosecutors based in Alexandria have been conducting a lengthy criminal investigation into WikiLeaks and its founder.
Representatives of the U.S. administration of President Donald Trump, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, have publicly called for Assange to be aggressively prosecuted.

Assange and his supporters have periodically said U.S. authorities had filed secret criminal charges against him, an assertion against which some U.S. officials pushed back until recently.
Facing extradition from Britain to Sweden to be questioned in a sexual molestation case, Assange six years ago took refuge in Ecuador's London embassy, where initially he was treated as a welcome guest.
But following a change in the government of the south American nation, Ecuadorean authorities last March began to crack down on his access to outsiders and for a time cut off his internet access.

In the landscape of Westphalia one often encounters a special form of the castle: the Castle, surrounded by natural or artificial waters previously offered additional protection. To protect the people from the people: that was always a major task in the millennial history of the castles. At early times, people pushed together their vehicles to the Wagenburg to assert itself against an enemy. Then, the flee - a refuge was established. The Castle and as a special form of the water Castle were endpoint of this development.
The Burg Vischering is one of the most beautiful and best preserved water castles in Westphalia. Built in 1271 and almost 500 years unchanged. Even today, visitors must only happen a drawbridge before they reach over a wooden footbridge to the main Castle.
Client was the Bishop of Münster, owner of the castle was a Comital family. Today it is State-owned and partly as a museum.
Some interiors are faithfully restored and equipped with loans - such as this bed from the year 1535. The former inhabitants have become today exhibition objects, objects of cultural or romantic curiosity which feels satisfied when she for example learns that the inhabitants of the Castle formerly stowed their jewelry at risk in this barrel and then sank it in the ditch. The Westphalian moated castles is now an integral part of many tourist programs.
A new technology changed the Ruhr area. For centuries, the winding towers in the German coal-mining area brought the coveted fuel upwards. Now they carry only the buddy. Anyway, in the pit of "Hansa", where water has replaced the conveyor system of the past. With the serious planing work on-site, it is over. The new plane is a jet of water directed from secure Entferunung. Hansa is the first pit of Western Europe, which has been converted to the hydro Bill. Coal is extracted here alone with hydroelectric power. The advantage of the new technology: it allows to reduce small or steep coal bearing economically. And the miners have to fear neither hypertension nor coal explosion in the future.
With over a hundred atmospheres of pressure, the water cannons flushes the coal out of the mountain. A funding channel washes the coal water mixture in a central gathering place, where most of the water is removed. Then, a pipe system takes over the transport. Surface is attributed by the coal separately and in the closed slurry circuit water. The pit of "Hansa" seemed already degraded. The trick with the water cannon has saved 1500 jobs. And it helps technically secure the comeback of coal used after the oil crisis.
Christianity and antiquity - almost under one roof. In the Roman-Germanic Museum at the foot of the Cologne Cathedral, the inhabitants of the city can visit their own past. What the Germans left and later the Romans, until in the 4. Century after beginning of men's Cologne were the time, has been discovered in the last few decades in old earth culture on the Rhine and combines a unique collection.
The stone monuments are available on bases in space: 2000 year-old testimonies of a past great culture.
Image and sound programs help visitors to find their way in Roman times. The famous Dionysus mosaic has determined the place of the collection. About the site, the city councils could build the Museum.
In the following years gathered here, what you discovered on Earth and construction work in Cologne. In addition to tombs, statues and jewelry also hundreds of vases, bowls and bottles made from a special, artfully worked glass for the later times coined the name of Roman glass.
Cologne will probably still long remain an archaeological treasure trove. Because Cologne was not destroyed as almost only one city as the Germans drove out the Romans. In the middle of a Hamburg suburb, a 67-jähriger industrialist set a new standard for his peers: "Give the years and not only the life years!", that was his idea. The Hamburg founded a foundation and a Senior Center, which is to be exemplary in Germany built at great expense.
Elderly not be supplied here provisionally by others - pensioners to keep here fit for the later years. In this model-Senior Center old fellow citizens can be not only cherished pursuits, also courage once again to start something new, to make them what in recent years always again lacked the time or leisure.
People like this should also know that you can't get physical forces and regain lost. In other ways, the self-esteem of the elderly is increased. The most adequate pensions and pay according to income, for the services of the Senior Center. They so decide what they want to take advantage, and not feel as the charity recipient.
Such a centre is not the end of life, rather it enabled vitality and self-confidence. For the growing number of old people in the Federal Republic of, such facilities provide the experience that late may well be the most beautiful.
Alpine Ski World Championships in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen, in Bavaria. Pamela Behr characterizes a is once again the course. The young ski racer from the Federal Republic of Germany said later at the finish, she had never been so calm and focused driven. As an outsider, she went on the slalom course, she left him with the silver medal.
LEA Sölkner from Austria. She surprised the world elite. Liquid slid it through the gates and was faster than all favourites at the end. Shortly before Pamela Behr, she was the slalom world champion.
The sisters, Irene and Maria Epple: Favorites in the giant slalom. Maria fulfilled the expectations. She became world champion. The 18-year-old German had prematurely ended the school two years ago and focuses entirely on the Alpine Sport. Almost a Pro, but still not cool enough, to suppress tears of joy.
The men's downhill. 1700 meters the range 800 m difference in altitude. Average speed: almost 100 km of/h.

When I began Crossfit, I zoned strictly for 3 weeks as an experiment. I admit the first week was extremely tough. There was the constant hunger, the irritability, some days I struggled to make my measly 11 blocks last throughout my longer days while other days I was struggling to get it all in. Basically I was consumed with everything food and it was annoying as hell! But then I turned that proverbial corner. I was performing well, my body composition was shifting, I felt lighter, clearer, and I had entered what's called "the zone". Stay with it. Whether you're zoning or paleo or both, it does get easier. For me the experiment was invaluable. By the end, I saw food not as a vehicle for calories (which you shouldn't be counting anyways), but rather as a sort of drug that affects hormone levels and certain parts of the brain. I became more concerned with the quality of my food which led me down the paleo road and I've been living there ever since. Stay diligent, ask questions, check in with your body constantly, and remember it's not the destination, it's the journey. One week down…..

SHILLONG: The BJP, an ally of the NPP- led Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA) government inMeghalaya, has named party's state unit vice president Rikman G Momin as its candidateforTura parliamentary constituency.
On Saturday, the party had announced three-time MLA Sanbor Shullai as its nominee from ShillongLokSabhaseat.
"The BJP is a national party and it depends on the central election committee whether the party would field any candidatein the seats available," Shibun told PTI.
The ruling coalition, barring the BJP, is fielding UDP general secretary Jemino Mawthoh from the Shillong seat, while NPP's Agatha Sangma is a common candidate from the Turaseat.
Momin is expected to submit his papers Monday, which is also the last date of filing nominations.
Elections to the two parliamentary seats inMeghalaya and a by-poll to Selsella assembly constituency have been scheduled for April 11.
The by-election was necessitated following the death of Congress MLA Clement Marak last year. His wife June Eliana R Marak is likely to file her nomination from the seat on a Congress ticket Monday.

Q: How do Nautilus media handlers work? Nautilus has options for what to do when media devices are added.

How does Nautilus know what applications to make available in these drop-down menus?
How do applications plug themselves in to this mechanism?

A: From http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/mimetypes-registering.html.en:

Registering applications to handle MIME types is fairly straightforward. Applications are registered by creating a MimeType key in their .desktop entry file and listing each MIME type separated by a semicolon. The MimeType key should only be used in .desktop files whose Type key has the value Application. For more information on .desktop files, see Section 2.3 ― Desktop Entry Files.

Nautilus gets this infomation from the mimeinfo.cache files located in $XDG_DATA_DIRS/applications and $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications/ that are created by update-desktop-database.

A: As far as I understand it this is handled by the MIME, the same thing that handles what application opens which files. system (sorry I don't have the full details).
EDIT: DoR answered as I was typing. He nailed it.

This tour-de-force of American literature and a winner of the National Book Award is a profound, intimate, affecting novel from one of the most esteemed literary minds of the last century and a beloved chronicler of the West.
Joe Allston is a cantankerous, retired literary agent who is, in his own words, "just killing time until time gets around to killing me." His parents and his only son are long dead, leaving him with neither ancestors nor descendants, tradition nor ties. His job, trafficking the talent of others, has not been his choice. He has passed through life as a spectator, before retreating to the woods of California in the 1970s with only his wife, Ruth, by his side. When an unexpected postcard from a long-lost friend arrives, Allston returns to the journals of a trip he has taken years before, a journey to his mother's birthplace where he once sought a link with his past. Uncovering this history floods Allston with memories, both grotesque and poignant, and finally vindicates him of his past and lays bare that Joe Allston has never been quite spectator enough.
Wallace Stegner (1909-1993) was the author of, among other novels, Remembering Laughter, 1937; The Big Rock Candy Mountain, 1943; Joe Hill, 1950; All the Little Live Things, 1967 (Commonwealth Club Gold Medal); A Shooting Star, 1961; Angle of Repose, 1971 (Pulitzer Prize); The Spectator Bird, 1976 (National Book Award, 1977); Recapitulation, 1979; and Crossing to Safety, 1987. His nonfiction includes Beyond the Hundredth Meridian, 1954; Wolf Willow, 1963; The Sound of Mountain Water (essays), 1969; The Uneasy Chair: A Biography of Bernard DeVoto, 1974; and Where the Bluebird Sings to the Lemonade Springs: Living and Writing in the West (1992). Three of his short stories have won O. Henry Prizes, and in 1980 he received the Robert Kirsch Award from the Los Angeles Times for his lifetime literary achievements. His Collected Stories was published in 1990.
"It is the autobiographical nature of Stegner's work . . . that makes it so compelling. In every novel, the narrator has all the gifts of language, empathy, and philosophy, but he nonetheless can never free himself from the torments of the past."
"Elegant and entertaining . . . every scene [is] adroitly staged and each effect precisely accomplished."
The Spectator Bird 3.7 out of 5 based on 0 ratings. 11 reviews.
I thought that this was one of the best books that I have read recently. While I am younger than the narrator, he muses about many issues related to aging and fulfillment that I an beginning to consider. There are a number of beautiful and/or profound passages and the ultimate story definitely held my attention and some of the themes are very thought provoking.
Stegner is a beautiful writer. His descriptions are thought filled and are lovely observations of life and the world around us. His character in this book makes one think he was also a most accurate observer of people. I will read anything he wrote, but Angle of Repose is still my favorite.
Beautiful ruminative writing, of course. But a little too unrelievedly negative portrait of a man in his 70s aging not gracefully.
fabulous writing; depressing, blah story. Should have been a short story. Reexamination of a life wasted, as far as the main character is concerned, and I stopped caring. What's with stegner that he has to take these introspective, grumbling into his beard journeys? No mas.

British embassy, Moscow, 1957
I like to describe myself as a "recovering journalist." As the author of six books, I feel I am half-way through the twelve-step program to regain full sanity. Over the last few years, my focus has shifted from the "first rough draft of history" to the second.
Now an American citizen, I was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I was a child of the Cold War--almost literally. I went to Russia for the first time at the age of six weeks, courtesy of my diplomat parents. I experienced every Soviet leader, from Stalin onwards. Here I am above, aged seven, with my mother and younger brother Geoffrey, in the British embassy, opposite the Kremlin, under the watchful eye of a KGB guard. This was during the Khrushchev "Thaw." In one way or another, I have been thinking--and writing--about the Cold War ever since, with occasional forays into World War II and the Holocaust.
I spent much of my journalistic career covering the collapse of communism. After a stint in Rome as a correspondent for Reuters, and a tour of Africa, I lived in Yugoslavia during the twilight years of Marshal Tito. In 1980, Tito died, and I moved to Poland for The Washington Post, just in time to witness the extraordinary spectacle of workers rebelling against the "workers' state." I was the first western reporter to visit the Lenin shipyard in Gdansk in August 1980 and was standing in front of Boris Yeltsin when he climbed on a tank in August 1991 to face down Communist hardliners. (See photograph below.) In between, I reported on the imposition of martial law in Poland, the Chernobyl nuclear catastrophe, Gorbachev-Reagan summits, the Tiananmen uprising in China, and the 1989 revolution in Romania.
Michael, circled, reporting on the August 1991 coup.
Other highlights of my journalistic career included exposing the Soviet atomic spy known as Mlad (Theodore Hall), revealing Madeleine Albright's links to the Holocaust, and covering the Bosnia peace negotiations as the diplomatic reporter for The Post. For a change of pace, I was swimming off the southern tip of Sri Lanka in December 2004 when I was almost swept away by the monster tsunami. In 2007, I launched The Post's Fact Checker column, handing out "Pinocchios" to lying politicians.
Since retiring from The Post after the 2008 election, I have focused on researching, writing, and teaching. I have taught courses at the universities of Princeton, Michigan, and Georgetown, as well as American University. I have been on the staff of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum since 2013. I organized conferences of international decision-makers on the genocides in Rwanda and Bosnia, and helped research the Museum's "Americans and the Holocaust" exhibition. The Unwanted is my sixth book.

Detweiler Vision vs Beowulf Code: "Right" and "Wrong"
Re: Detweiler Vision vs Beowulf Code: "Right" and "Wrong"
I just had a discussion with a doctor about a (happily) minor issue of cystic fibrosis in my younger grandson. He had a breathing problem but it was found due to construction work inside his own house not from a disease.
But the doctor said he expects some genetically based treatment before Jake (who is one year old) becomes a teen. The other grandfather of the boy and myself both agreed to help pay for it if there are issues.
Then I began to think about the issue of paying for genetic changes in a world with prolong. I am highly unlikely to see great-grandchildren. I'm in my mid-seventies and my oldest grandkid is three. But if I had another fifty to sixty years I might get to see great-great grandchildren. And I started late and my daughter started late.
On Manticore people might see a half dozen generations. Genetic upgrades, which are passed on, would provide more impact on our lives. If I paid for an upgrade to prevent cancer in my kids, I could see a dozen descendants cancer free. If I paid for an increase in memory (not perfect memory, although that might be useful, but just general memory) my kids would probably do better in school. A raise of let's say 20 points on an IQ system (and let's not debate THAT just use it as a measuring system) could allow them a lot better choices in terms of jobs. Improving looks could lead to better marriages.
There are many people who would gladly pay for things like that. I think a Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg could afford millions. And the rich would be the first to use it.
But there would be countries ready to weaponize it. North Korea would love to build armies that are far stronger and have more endurance.
So things will change. And many of the laws passed will be ignored. For decades there were laws against abortions but mothers killed potential offspring. How effective would laws be against parents who want to "improve" their offspring.
And in a world where people live long enough to see and even help quite a few generations the pull would be even harder.
ldwechsler wrote: How effective would laws be against parents who want to "improve" their offspring.
There is nothing in the Beowulf Code to prevent genetic treatments for diseases nor to prevent a parent from paying to improve their prospective children's memory abilities - as long as it within normal human limits.
Don't we expect that the prolong treatment has to contain some anti-cancer and anti-disease components, in addition to the purely anti-aging piece? Or do we expect that those were fixed even before prolong was developed? We do know that cigars can be smoked, because lung cancer has been cured (which must also include cancers of mouth, throat and so on).
That's my point. Deciding where to draw the line is not simple. Eliminating cystic fibrosis is an easy choice. How about eliminating those genes which lead to learning disabilities? And what exactly are those disabilities? If memory isn't great, isn't that a problem? If math might be an issue, should a bit of change in DNA be OK? Where do we draw the line.
There's a good back by Daniel Suarez "Change Agent" where people really can get babies made to order. Very expensive but if you can get an adorable little girl who can speak a half dozen languages and read in them by the time she reaches the first grade, would it be worth what some pay now for a year in college?

GMO, I think is the line. Taking cat genes for eyes and claws, night vision and hearing and inserting them into the genome. Creating artificial genes for bioweapons or intelligence (whatever that is). Fish gills to survive on a water world, camel's ability to survive for weeks without water on Arrakis.
Which is not near where the MAlign is. They are actually creating castes or classes of humans, scientifically measurable advantages setting one class above another with no way for advancement from Gamma line to beta line. or from slave to even delta line. Which is the ultimate in eugenitics. And of course the exact meaning of the term is still being debated.
I guess the availibility to all or more importantly the use of the power of government to control the genetic diversity, is what makes the neo-Detweiller plan so reprehensible.
You couldn't insert cat genes for claws or eyes or stuff like that. Macroscale features aren't one gene. There a extremely complex set of genes interacting in extremely complex ways. You could insert a gene for another photoreceptor type and have it expressed, but cat night vision goes beyond that. You could also design new genes designed to give cat like features, or design genes inspired be by cat features/genes.
Anyway the Beowulf Code doesn't have the force of law (except maybe in Beowulf?), and if it did it would need a lot of interpretation from the courts. Some places probably had laws based on it though.
Now if I understood the Beowulf code the limit was only using human genes, but there were exceptions for disease prevention and adapting colonists. (I also think "cosmetic" changes wer allowed.) So fish based gills on a water world could be justified. Or you could mod in Vitamin C production. (Scurvy prevention!) In addition you weren't allowed to create a "master race" or force changes on people or stuff like that.
Of course, that leaves loopholes you could drive scrag through! These scrag mods? I'm preventing cardiovascular disease, muscle degeneration and mental disabilities! Alternatively you could just "find" what you're looking for in an existing human that you rescued from pirates based out of Mesa. The Code has more or less fallen to this point. Case in point: Prolong You're just preventing a boatload of diseases! The original Det would be proud of Beowulf.
This still leaves some limits though! Those Chinese super-soldiers? Yeah, that's not justifiable as eliminating a disease. Trying to convince Treecat brain matter to grow in a human in order to give them psychic powers? That's gonna be tough to justify.
Think of it as criteria for artificial gene changes. Like the CDC.
Or just pitch all of this hand-wringing out of the window and check for the ability to interbreed with baseliners (which is an entirely valid interpretation of staying human) and quality-adjusted life years.

Humans are far too adaptable.Even with language, culture and religious differences, we somehow find a way to mate. All the Neanderthal DNA in Homo Sapiens DNA proves my point. And apparently it wasn't a one time mix.

Which doesn't apply if you postulate an instantly distinct species through clumsy/overdone genetic modifications.
And that is why I think Weber was wrong when he wrote that in another couple of generations they would be another species.
It is not easy to totally separate. San Martin people seem to have been able to mix with those from other planets and they had been in very adverse conditions as well. Note that Honor had the Meyerdahl B mods but her mother certainly did not.
