    Post-Polio: an Oral History of Polio

    KIRK JOHNSON, For Some Survivors, Polio Won’t Fade Out, February 3, 2010

    After polio stunted his right leg as a child, Ronald S. Hanson’s left knee gave out from overuse. Post-polio syndrome has refocused survivors’ minds on the virus.

    --------------

    My uncle John Paul Neuman was struck with polio in 1952. Despite this, he has been a great inspiration to me through out my childhood and adult life. A great deal of the passion that I have for art, graphic recording, and my positive outlook on life has been influenced by his unquenchable passion for woodworking and outrageously positive attitude.

    Recently I had the opportunity to work with him in his shop. Amongst the 50 years worth of wood, tools, and completed projects he told me where his intense interest grew. When he was a child, he was stuck with polio and was left with stunted growth in one of his legs and weakness in his muscles that prevented him from playing with other children.  He turned to the older men in his family who took him into their shop and taught him 3 generations of woodworking knowledge. He has never left that shop. It is what wakes him up in the morning and puts him to bed at night.

    Like many of the other "polios" in this article, John has a blindingly bright outlook on life. He has never seen himself as a victim and despite the challenges his polio has given him, much like Virginia Lewis Hall and her water color painting, he has seen it as an opportunity that gave him a gift and passion that sets him a part.

    Polio gave him his passion. His passion keeps living with a bright smile.

    J. D. Salinger, Literary Recluse, Dies at 91

    CHARLES McGRATH, J. D. Salinger, Literary Recluse, Dies at 91, January 29, 2010

    My copy of The Catcher in the Rye is tattered and torn. I have given more friends copies of Franny and Zooey than I can count. Holden and the Glass family made me a little more comfortable in my own skin throughout highschool and undergrad.  I am sad to hear of Mr. Salinger death but wish him the peace that he strove for in life. 

    "What really knocks me out is a book that, when your all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him on the phone whenever you felt like it." -The Catcher in the Rye

    Democratic Loss Imperils Health Care Overhaul

    MICHAEL COOPER, G.O.P. Senate Victory Stuns DemocratsJanuary 20, 2010

    Scott Brown, a little-known Republican state senator, defeated Martha Coakley in the race to fill the Massachusetts Senate seat held by Edward M. Kennedy. Prior to the vote, Mr. Obama said, “Understand what’s at stake here, Massachusetts,” repeatedly invoking Mr. Kennedy’s legacy. “It’s whether we’re going forwards or backwards.” He all but pleaded with voters to support Ms. Coakley, to preserve his agenda.

    STEPHANIE STROM "A Deluge of Donations via Text Messages" New York Times, January 19, 2010

    The American Red Cross organization had collected pledges of $103 million for earthquake relief for Haiti, about $22 million of which came through the text-messaging program. The National Football League’s promotion of text-message donations during its weekend playoff games produced stunning results, with money “coming in at the rate of $500,000 an hour,” said Roger Lowe, a Red Cross spokesman. The Red Cross is the biggest relief organization with a system in place to receive such donations, which are sent by cellphone to 90999 and billed at $10 each to the cellphone account.

    Perhaps technology is creating more philanthropy.

    Haitians Confront Devastation of Quake

    By SIMON ROMERO and MARC LACEY "Haitians Confront Devastation of Quake" New York Times, January 13, 2010

    The poorest nation in the west suffered another set-back when a 7.0 earthquake hit Port au Prince on Wednesday. Poor building quality, dense population, and general poverty in Haiti's capital is said to have resulted in numerous building collapses, including the National Palace and the U.N. headquarters. Total casualities are can not be estimated at this time. Nations and non-government organizations have mobilized to get aide to the suffering country.
