# Ben Shapiro slams 'vile and angry left' media in doxxing case involving 'Drunken Pelosi' creator

#### Ben Shapiro on doxing of man allegedly behind 'drunk Pelosi' video

Daily Beast admits Facebook helped expose identity of man allegedly behind viral video; reaction from The Daily Wire editor-in-chief Ben Shapiro.

The Daily Wire editor-in-chief Ben Shapiro slammed the "vile and angry left" media for exposing the identity of a private citizen for posting a video on Facebook that falsely depicted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as being intoxicated.

DAILY BEAST ACCUSED OF 'DOXXING' ALLEGED CREATOR OF 'DRUNK PELOSI' VIDEO

During a Monday night appearance on Laura Ingraham's "The Ingraham Angle," Shapiro said left-leaning media outlets "are motivated to take down anybody who happens to be right and center no matter who they are, no matter whether they wish to remain anonymous, no matter that all they did was post a Youtube video."

Shapiro was referring to an article by The Daily Beast that exposed the identity, employment history, past relationships and social media footprint of a forklift operator from the Bronx.

The man reportedly shared the three-minute doctored clip titled "Drunken Pelosi" anonymously on a right-leaning page called "Politics WatchDog."

"My impression was that if you are posting anonymously on Facebook, then it's not really within Facebook's purvey to start handing that information to media outlets, but I guess that isn't true," Shapiro continued.

Other journalists have also slammed The Daily Beast for allegedly punishing a man for posting a "trivial" video showing Pelosi in a negative light.

The conservative commentator accused the social media site of releasing information that should have remained private.

When Ingraham asked if Facebook and left-leaning media were trying to demonize conservative websites in order to silence them, Shapiro responded: "There's no question."

Daily Beast editor-in-chief Noah Shachtman has defended the publication's decision to go forward with the story.

He told CNN that the man attached his name to the video on fake news sites.

"He spoke to our reporter at length and on the record for an hour and a half," he said.

"Then we also withheld some information that he didn't-- that he didn't want out there, that he felt would impinge on his privacy.

So, I -- I am glad that these people want to protect the privacy of this man.

But I think our actions, in this case, were right on the money."

Shapiro said, "everybody who is in the conservative media has become a target for the left and the left will go out of its way to destroy anybody for virtually any reason so long as they do this."

In June 2019, "The Daily Beast" reporter Kevin Poulsen was accused of doxing Shawn Brooks, a 34-year-old Trump supporter living in The Bronx, when Poulsen revealed his identity in an article published on June 1, 2019 for being the alleged creator and disseminator of a fake video, which showed Nancy Pelosi speaking in a slurred manner. Hours after being posted on May 22, 2019, the fake video had been shared over 60,000 times on Facebook and had more than 4 million views. The fake video also spread to Twitter and YouTube, but was taken down on YouTube after the video was shown to be fake. As of June 4, 2019, the fake video on Facebook had been removed.
 The Intercept co-founder Glenn Greenwald criticized "The Daily Beast" for revealing Brooks' identity, saying on Twitter it was "repellent to unleash the resources of a major news outlet on an obscure, anonymous, powerless, quasi-unemployed citizen for the crime of trivially mocking the most powerful political leaders." Huffington Post and New York contributor Yashar Ali also criticized "The Daily Beast" for revealing Brooks' identity, saying it "sets a really bad precedent when a private citizen has their identity publicly revealed simply because they made a video of a politician appearing to be drunk".

# Late Rally for Doc Adams, a Jeter Before There Were Mitts

Marjorie Adams, a great-granddaughter of Doc Adams, has led her family's effort to get him on the ballot for election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.

Before Derek Jeter made his mark as New York's most illustrious shortstop, there was another player, popularly known as Doc Adams, who in the mid-1800s invented the position while playing for a different local powerhouse, the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club.

Daniel Lucius Adams (that was his formal name) was a pioneering figure in the sport's early years, when mitts were unheard-of, balls were spongy, pitches were thrown underhand and the game's rules were far from standardized — including the number of players allowed on the field, how many innings constituted a game and the dimensions of the diamond.

Adams is credited with establishing the modern diamond by setting the distance between bases at 90 feet, the current standard.

He was also a standout player at the position he created to relay throws from the outfielders to the infield.

Despite his accomplishments, Adams's descendants lament that he has been largely overlooked by history.

He has never even made the ballot for election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.

Doc Adams, whose formal name was Daniel Lucius Adams.

His relatives say his induction is long overdue, and are campaigning to get him on the ballot next month, engaging a selection process for "pre-integration candidates" that occurs only every three years.

It is the hall's designation for figures whose most significant contributions to baseball came before 1947, when Jackie Robinson became the first African-American to play in the major leagues.

These candidates are considered separately from more modern figures, whose selection to the Hall of Fame is voted on every year.

Adams's relatives had no luck when they tried petitioning the Hall of Fame to elect him in 2012.

They hope that the current baseball fever in New York — both the Mets and the Yankees are good bets to make the playoffs — will amplify their efforts to get a New York figure elected.

Marjorie Adams, 67, a great-granddaughter of Doc Adams, has led the family's effort; she serendipitously met a baseball historian in the 1990s and discovered she was descended from baseball royalty.

The historian told her that the Knickerbockers were the most important baseball pioneers during a seminal period in New York before 1850, and that Adams, in urging members to show up for practices and games, helped keep the Knickerbockers intact during the late 1840s, when sagging enthusiasm could have caused the club to fold.

"He said, 'You know, your great-grandfather saved baseball,' " Ms. Adams recalled.

"The game could just as easily have died and faded away."

This stuck with Ms. Adams, and in 2011, after seeing a brief mention of a local baseball historical organization, she attended a lecture and heard mention of Adams's importance to the game.

"I nearly fell off my chair," said Ms. Adams, who then spent an obsessive few years researching her relative.

"I realized that it was true: Doc did save the game."

Since then, she has thrown herself into the world of old-time baseball, traveling to numerous conferences and vintage baseball festivals and pestering Hall of Fame officials, who smile when they hear her name.

A bucket of balls sat near the field during a Woodstock Hilltoppers vintage baseball game in Tolland, Conn., this month.

Gary O'Maxfield of Hartford and his wife, Karen, who organized the event, are working to get Adams in the Hall of Fame.

"I can be a terrible nag," she said, "but I'm doing this for Doc."

On Oct. 5, the Hall of Fame will announce the 10 candidates named to the pre-integration ballot by a historical overview committee, which is made up of 11 writers and historians appointed by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.

In December, a 16-member voting committee will decide the fate of each candidate.

Asked to comment on Adams's candidacy, Brad Horn, a spokesman for the Hall of Fame, would say in a statement only that Adams's role "will be at issue for consideration of the Historical Overview Committee."

Ms. Adams, a retired furniture-store designer who lives outside New London, Conn., said her lack of interest in baseball made her an anomaly in the Adams family, which had known of Doc Adams, but not of the full extent of his contributions to the game.

Ms. Adams's sister, Nancy Adams Downey, of Manhattan, recalled that relatives referred to him as "Daniel, the baseball guy."

Ms. Adams Downey remembers growing up as a tomboy and playing pickup baseball games with local boys and telling them, "My great-grandfather invented shortstop."

Today, Marjorie Adams can talk for hours about the early game, dispensing tidbits such as the fact that this year is the 170th anniversary of the formation of the Knickerbockers.

For Adams's sake, she joined the Society for American Baseball Research and delivered a spirited presentation recounting his achievements.

He was later named by the society as the "19th-Century Overlooked Baseball Legend" for 2014.

Her expertise draws respect from top historians, including John Thorn, the official historian for Major League Baseball.

Mr. Thorn, who wrote about Adams in his 2011 book "Baseball in the Garden of Eden," said he "has been sorely neglected by history."

He called Adams "the most significant figure in the early history of baseball."

Among the material Ms. Adams has presented to the hall are family letters dating from the early 1830s mentioning the "bats and balls" a teenage Adams used growing up, as well as the brass buttons from his Knickerbockers uniform, which the family believes may be some of the oldest such remnants extant.

Adams had attended Yale and Harvard before setting up a medical practice in Manhattan around 1840.

During his career, he worked at city dispensaries treating poor New Yorkers, often during cholera outbreaks.

He began playing baseball with other medical professionals in 1840, for exercise, and joined the Knickerbockers in 1845.

The team played in Madison Square Park, then in Murray Hill, and later at the Elysian Fields in Hoboken, N.J., which some historians have credited as being the site of the first organized baseball game, on June 19, 1846.

Adams served several terms as the club's president, helping run early conventions and sitting on rules committees to help standardize play.

He put into effect the rules requiring nine-member teams and nine-inning games, and advocated the "fly rule," which made catching a fly ball a putout at a time when a ball caught on one bounce still constituted one.

He also officiated as an umpire, and is credited by some historians as being the first to declare a batter out on a called third strike, in 1858, Mr. Thorn said.

On a recent weekday, Ms. Adams produced a copy of a proclamation that Knickerbockers members presented to Adams in 1862.

It named him "the Nestor of Ball Players," a reference to the wise king in Greek mythology.

Ms. Adams said that if her great-grandfather was not elected to the hall this year, she would waste no time preparing for the next opportunity, in 2018.

While admitting that the timing is impossible, she imagines receiving Adams's Hall of Fame plaque alongside Jeter, during his induction (his first year of eligibility is 2020).

"That way, I can stand next to him," she said, "and you'll have the greatest Yankees shortstop next to the great-granddaughter of the man who created the position."

The 45-foot (14 m) distance from home plate to the pitching mound, however, did not last through the 19th century; it was pushed back 5 feet (1.5 m) in 1880. The shortstop position, which for Adams was located between the infielders and outfielders, was later played in the infield, between second and third base. Dickey Pearce was the first player to field in that area, and his ability to prevent base hits in the formerly unoccupied territory convinced other teams to employ similar tactics.
 The "Hartford Courant" points to 1980 as a year when Adams started to gain greater attention for his achievements. A share of the New York Mets was purchased by a publishing company led by Nelson Doubleday Jr. that year, and claims that Abner Doubleday invented baseball in 1839, which are considered flawed by modern researchers, were reported by the media. After the Doubleday reports in 1980, "The New York Times" received a letter from the great-great-grandson of Adams that the "Courant" said attempted "to try to set the record straight." The newspaper ran the letter in its April 13 issue, and added a 1939 piece by Roger Adams. In 1993, Thorn published research on Adams' contributions in the encyclopedia "Total Baseball".

By Jeff SimonPublished Sat, Oct 22, 2016

Love for Sale: Pop Music in America by David Hajdu, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 307 pages, $27.

No, this is not just a standard history of "Pop Music in America."

This is a very personal and utterly wonderful book about the subject by the music critic of The Nation and the man who wrote the magisterial "Lush Life: A Biography of Billy Strayhorn," and the indispensable "The Ten Cent Plague: The Great Comic Book Scare and How It Changed America" and "Positively Fourth Street: The Lives and Times of Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Mimi Baez Farina and Richard Farina."

Here, for instance, is Hajdu interviewing one of his first subjects, folk legend Dave Van Ronk, upon whose couch Bob Dylan slept when he was first starting out.

Van Ronk poured Captain Morgan over his ice cream while they listened to something from James Taylor's third album.

Von Ronk both laughed and coughed freely and the sounds were indistinguishable.

He listened to the music on the radio for a minute and said 'Bobby has a lot to answer for."

Hajdu observed Dylan's music had more "fire" than Taylor to which Van Ronk replied "It's hard to start a fire without the right equipment. ...

Try this on for size: After his Strayhorn book appeared, Lena Horne called on Hajdu to help with a new record she was briefly coming out of semiretirement to make.

She opted for "We'll Be Together Again" over "I'll Never Smile Again" because she thought that Sinatra's version of the latter was definitive.

"Joking, with a big wink implied, she called the young Sinatra 'a better woman' than she."

Here is a critic capable of saying that Elvis Presley was "At least as deserving of coronation as 'The King of Rock and Roll' as Benny Goodman had been to be called 'The King of Swing'.

Both were much more qualified for their kingships than Irving Berlin had deserved to be promoted as 'The Ragtime King.'

Presley made brilliant rock and roll and Goodman played first-rate swing" but Berlin wrote "Alexander's Ragtime Band" not ragtime.

It's as idiosyncratic and vehemently personal a book as it is reliable, readable and enduringly important.

One of the year's best music books, along with Ratliff's "Every Song Ever."

# Editor's Choice: Love for Sale: Pop Music in America by David Hajdu

By Jeff SimonPublished Sat, Oct 22, 2016

Love for Sale: Pop Music in America by David Hajdu, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 307 pages, $27.

No, this is not just a standard history of "Pop Music in America."

This is a very personal and utterly wonderful book about the subject by the music critic of The Nation and the man who wrote the magisterial "Lush Life: A Biography of Billy Strayhorn," and the indispensable "The Ten Cent Plague: The Great Comic Book Scare and How It Changed America" and "Positively Fourth Street: The Lives and Times of Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Mimi Baez Farina and Richard Farina."

Here, for instance, is Hajdu interviewing one of his first subjects, folk legend Dave Van Ronk, upon whose couch Bob Dylan slept when he was first starting out.

Van Ronk poured Captain Morgan over his ice cream while they listened to something from James Taylor's third album.

Von Ronk both laughed and coughed freely and the sounds were indistinguishable.

He listened to the music on the radio for a minute and said 'Bobby has a lot to answer for."

Hajdu observed Dylan's music had more "fire" than Taylor to which Van Ronk replied "It's hard to start a fire without the right equipment. ...

The National League cannot have a pennant winner if neither of the teams in the pennant playoff scores a run.

The problem for the hitters of the Mets and the Los Angeles Dodgers, then, will be to figure out how to score runs against the Dodgers' and the Mets' pitchers.

The Mets did not have trouble scoring runs against the Dodgers during the regular season.

They won 10 of the 11 games and were not shut out in their lone loss.

The Dodgers, on the other hand, suffered two shutouts (to Dwight Gooden and Ron Darling) and scored only one run in each of four other games.

The Dodger pitchers, however, have bordered on the spectacular in recent weeks, throwing 8 shutouts in 19 games and raising their season total to 24 shutouts, 2 more than the Mets' staff has.

Orel Hershiser has been the most spectacular member of the Dodgers' starting rotation, reeling off five successive shutouts, the most recent against San Francisco Friday night.

But even before Hershiser began the streak that raised his season total to eight, Tim Leary had six shutouts himself and a share of another one.

They each have more shutouts than any of the Mets' pitchers.

In fact, the Mets' shutout leader won't be pitching any post-season shutouts.

Bob Ojeda, whose season was ended by an electric hedge clipper, has five shutouts.

David Cone has four plus a shared shutout, Darling has four, Gooden has three plus one shared and Sid Fernandez one plus three shared.

Among the Dodgers' shutouts, they have a one-hitter, two two-hitters and two three-hitters.

They have not allowed more than seven hits in any of their shutouts.

The Mets' pitchers have pitched a one-hitter, five two-hitters and a three-hitter.

They have permitted as many as 11 hits in a shutout.

Both teams have used good sense in picking the times for their shutouts.

The Mets have shut out their three chief competitors - Pittsburgh (four times), Montreal (four) and St. Louis (three) - a total of 11 times.

The Dodgers have recorded 11 shutouts against their three chief challengers: Houston (four), San Francisco (four) and Cincinnati (three).

What significance might the shutouts have for the league championship series?

Not much, if past playoffs provide any proof.

In the 19 years of divisional play, National League pitchers have produced 14 shutouts in 82 playoff games and American League pitchers 13 shutouts in 81 games.

Four times an American League playoff has had two shutouts; National League playoffs have had two shutouts once and three once.

The trio came last year when Dave Dravecky shut out St. Louis and John Tudor (and relievers) and Danny Cox shut out San Francisco in the last two games.

The irony of the St. Louis shutouts was that during the regular season the Cardinals' staff registered only seven shutouts.

In 1985, the National League playoff teams, the Cardinals and the Dodgers, pitched a total of 41 shutouts during the season, the most by any pair of playoff teams in either league before this year.

But they did not hold each other scoreless in any of their six post-season games and, in fact, scored a combined total of 52 runs, the most ever scored in a National League series.

In 1969, the Mets went into the first league championship series having thrown 28 shutouts, still a record for a playoff team, but their pitchers did not add to that total in the three-game sweep of Atlanta.

No correlation exists between the number of shutouts during the season and the winner of the league series.

In the National League, the outcome is a draw, 9-9 (in each league, teams had the same number of shutouts once); in the American League the team with more shutouts has won 11 times and lost 7 times.

Considering all post-season shutout performances, the most impressive exhibitions were put on in the World Series by the New York Giants of 1905 and the Baltimore Orioles of 1966.

The Giants gained all four of their victories against Philadelphia by shutouts (the Athletics also picked up their one victory with a shutout).

The Orioles held the Dodgers scoreless in the last three games of the four-game Series.

The Giants' pitchers had pitched 17 shutouts and the Orioles' pitchers 13 shutouts during the regular season.

Ron Hassey is going to the playoffs for the first time in his 10-year career, but even if he weren't, he would have considered his season a success.

After all, he wasn't playing for the Chicago White Sox.

''They knew I didn't want to play there,'' said Hassey, who left the White Sox as a free agent last winter and signed with the Oakland Athletics.

''I didn't think they were going in any direction.

The only direction they were going was down.

They weren't trying to improve the ball club.

They were just trying to trade everybody and get some young kids.

To me, it's going to take I don't know how many years to rebuild what they destroyed.''

Hassey's feeling toward the White Sox goes beyond the decisions made by the owners, Jerry Reinsdorf and Eddie Einhorn, and the general manager, Larry Himes.

He also didn't like the way Himes operated.

''He was more concerned about socks than playing,'' Hassey said, alluding to the fines Himes imposed on players for not wearing socks to the ball park.

When he was a free agent last winter, the Athletics and the Yankees wanted to sign him, but only the Athletics pursued him.

''The Yankees went after me, but it was feeble,'' said Hassey, who was traded to the Yankees twice and by them twice.

''I made more of an effort than they did.

As Hassey indicated, the White Sox have made a shambles of a team that won a division championship by 20 games only five years ago.

The only reason they're not in last place is that the Seattle Mariners play in their division, and they have been in shambles throughout their 12-year existence.

The Baltimore Orioles were the team that beat the White Sox for the American League pennant in 1983, and they aren't doing so well either.

''The sad state of the organization didn't start this year,'' said Frank Robinson, the manager and former Oriole player who is in his 13th year with the organization.

Our farm system still fed players up here, but they couldn't come up and give you that production.

Our philosophy stayed the same too long.

You could see the decline coming, but the philosophy didn't change.''

Robinson said the Orioles had overloaded on two types of players because of the success they had had with those types: finesse pitchers who couldn't throw hard and one-dimensional hitters who couldn't run or throw.

''All of a sudden, you have a lot of designated hitters and soft throwers,'' he said.

Then, referring to the favorite weapon of Earl Weaver, the successful Orioles manager, Robinson added: ''You can't get three-run home runs all the time.

It worked for Earl, but he had the players.

When they started leaving, you didn't have those guys any more.''

And when the Orioles ran out of replacements, they replaced the general manager, Hank Peters, and the farm director, Tom Giordano, both of whom are in Cleveland now.

Speaking of teams in shambles, the Philadelphia Phillies are competing for first place in that division.

They are the joke of the National League East.

When Bill Giles, the Phillies' president, belatedly came to the realization last fall that he needed a baseball man to run the baseball operation, he hired Woody Woodward.

But only a couple of months into the season, he dismissed Woodward and eventually replaced him with Lee Thomas, in whom he supposedly placed more authority than he had given Woodward.

With Thomas in charge, the Phillies extended the contract of their manager, Lee Elia.

Now, only two and a half months later, they have dismissed Elia and are looking for a new manager.

At the rate at which they are operating, they may be looking for a new general manager by the December meetings.

The Phillies are one of six teams that are more than 30 games from first place.

They, like the White Sox and the Orioles, were a division winner in 1983.

The fourth division winner was the Dodgers.

They, too, for a time, threatened to join the shambles division.

However, Fred Claire, a seemingly unlikely savior, has rescued them with aggressive personnel moves and has sent them light years ahead of their 1983 post-season colleagues.

With the dismissal of Elia by the Phillies and Cookie Rojas by the California Angels, the number of new managers named since the end of last season has caught the number of new general managers named.

The Angels join the Yankees as the only team to have two new managers in that time.

Rojas had replaced Gene Mauch, who retired.

With the Yankees, Lou Piniella replaced Billy Martin, who had replaced Piniella, who somewhere in the seemingly distant past replaced Martin.

Piniella was also involved in two moves on the general managers' side, replacing Woody Woodward and being replaced by Bob Quinn.

Woodward was replaced in Philadelphia by Thomas, then replaced Dick Balderson in Seattle.

Orel Hershiser's scoreless innings streak

He made his professional debut with the Class A Dodger farm team in the Midwest League, the Clinton Dodgers in 1979. He made his major league debut for the Dodgers on September 1, 1983, against the Montreal Expos. Hershisher made his first start on May 26, 1984, against the New York Mets and became a full-time starter in the Dodgers' rotation on July 14.
 Hershiser had pitched a 33+2⁄3-inning scoreless streak in 1984, eventually joining Gaylord Perry and Luis Tiant as the only pitchers between 1963 and 2014 with at least two streaks of this length. Hershiser's 1984 streak, which was the longest scoreless inning streak of the year, was broken up on July 24 by a home run by two-time NL Most Valuable Player Dale Murphy of the Atlanta Braves. His streak included a blown save on July 8 against the St. Louis Cardinals and a nine-inning shutout against the Cardinals on July 19.
 Despite an emergency appendectomy that delayed his spring training and shortened his time to get in shape for the season, Hershiser had been named NL Baseball Pitcher of the Month in April and a participant in the 1988 All-Star Game, getting outs against all three batters. In the eight games he started between July 10 and August 14, Hershiser had a 3–4 win–loss record with a 4.76 earned run average (ERA), raising his season ERA from 2.46 to 3.06. Following his August 14 start in which he left the game after two innings (his shortest appearance since 1985) with the Dodgers behind the Giants 8–2, he pitched complete games on August 19 (a shutout) and August 24.


Leary also combined with other pitchers to record a shutout that was not counted in his individual total.

The basic ranger-guided "discovery cave tour", 90 minutes long, requires negotiating more than 500 steep and uneven stairs and passageways with as little as 45 inches (110 cm) between floor and ceiling. Not recommended by the NPS for anyone with heart, lung, or mobility problems, the tour involves a total climb of 230 feet (70 m). Children under 42 inches (110 cm) tall or who are unable to climb a set of test stairs on their own are not allowed on the full cave tour. The NPS offers a limited number of off-trail "introduction to caving" tours by advanced reservation only.
 Since the cave is only 44 °F (7 °C) inside regardless of the outdoor temperature, the NPS recommends warm clothing for its tours. Good walking shoes are needed to negotiate slippery and uneven surfaces. Not allowed on the tours are flashlights, backpacks, large purses, tripods, or pets. To protect bats from white nose syndrome, visitors must not take any clothing or equipment into Oregon Caves that have previously entered any other cave or mine.

## Parasites - Toxoplasmosis (Toxoplasma infection)

Healthy people (nonpregnant)Mother-to-child (congenital)Persons with ocular diseasePersons with compromised immune systems

Healthy people who become infected with Toxoplasma gondii often do not have symptoms because their immune system usually keeps the parasite from causing illness.

When illness occurs, it is usually mild with "flu-like" symptoms (e.g., tender lymph nodes, muscle aches, etc.) that last for weeks to months and then go away.

However, the parasite remains in their body in an inactive state.

It can become reactivated if the person becomes immunosuppressed.

Generally if a woman has been infected before becoming pregnant, the unborn child will be protected because the mother has developed immunity.

If a woman is pregnant and becomes newly infected with Toxoplasma during or just before pregnancy, she can pass the infection to her unborn baby (congenital transmission).

The damage to the unborn child is often more severe the earlier in pregnancy the transmission occurs.

Infants infected before birth often show no symptoms at birth but may develop them later in life with potential vision loss, mental disability, and seizures.

Eye disease (most frequently retinochoroiditis) from Toxoplasma infection can result from congenital infection or infection after birth by any of the modes of transmission discussed on the epidemiology and risk factors page.

Eye lesions from congenital infection are often not identified at birth but occur in 20-80% of infected persons by adulthood.

However, in the U.S. <2% of persons infected after birth develop eye lesions.

Eye infection leads to an acute inflammatory lesion of the retina, which resolves leaving retinochoroidal scarring.

The eye disease can reactivate months or years later, each time causing more damage to the retina.

If the central structures of the retina are involved there will be a progressive loss of vision that can lead to blindness.

#### Persons with compromised immune systems

Persons with compromised immune systems may experience severe symptoms if they are infected with Toxoplasma while immune suppressed.

For example, a person who is HIV-infected and who has reactivated Toxoplasma infection can have symptoms that include fever, confusion, headache, seizures, nausea, and poor coordination.

Persons who acquire HIV infection and were not infected previously with Toxoplasma are more likely to develop a severe primary infection.

Immunocompromised persons who were infected with Toxoplasma at some point before they become immunosuppressed are particularly at risk for developing a relapse of toxoplasmosis.

Toxoplasma infection can reactivate in immunocompromised pregnant women who were infected with Toxoplasma before their pregnancy, and this can lead to congenital infection.

Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease caused by "Toxoplasma gondii". Infections with toxoplasmosis usually cause no obvious symptoms in adults. Occasionally, people may have a few weeks or months of mild, flu-like illness such as muscle aches and tender lymph nodes. In a small number of people, eye problems may develop. In those with a weak immune system, severe symptoms such as seizures and poor coordination may occur.


Toxoplasmosis is a condition known as congenital toxoplasmosis.

## Parasites - Toxoplasmosis (Toxoplasma infection)

Healthy people (nonpregnant)Mother-to-child (congenital)Persons with ocular diseasePersons with compromised immune systems

Healthy people who become infected with Toxoplasma gondii often do not have symptoms because their immune system usually keeps the parasite from causing illness.

When illness occurs, it is usually mild with "flu-like" symptoms (e.g., tender lymph nodes, muscle aches, etc.) that last for weeks to months and then go away.

However, the parasite remains in their body in an inactive state.

It can become reactivated if the person becomes immunosuppressed.

Generally if a woman has been infected before becoming pregnant, the unborn child will be protected because the mother has developed immunity.

If a woman is pregnant and becomes newly infected with Toxoplasma during or just before pregnancy, she can pass the infection to her unborn baby (congenital transmission).

The damage to the unborn child is often more severe the earlier in pregnancy the transmission occurs.

# Slavery's Traces: In Search of Ashley's Sack

Mark AuslanderCentral Washington UniversityBlog PostPublished November 29, 2016

One of the most enigmatic objects on display in the new Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture is "Ashley's Sack."

On loan from South Carolina's Middleton Place, this unbleached cotton sack features an embroidered text recounting the slave sale of a nine-year-old girl named Ashley and the gift of the sack by her mother.

Until now, Ashley's identity has been unknown.

New research by Mark Auslander traces Ashley's Sack from the initial gift during the era of slavery to the present.

Auslander's archival work retraces the life of Ruth. He posits Ruth Middleton was born Ruth Jones in Columbia, South Carolina around 1903. Her parents, Austin and Rosa Jones, were servants at the University of South Carolina. Ruth made her way to Philadelphia, Penn. and married Arthur Middleton, who was born around 1899 and also from South Carolina. However, Ruth and her husband are never listed as having lived together. She had a daughter, Dorothy Helen, born in Philadelphia in 1919. In 1921, when Ashley's Sack was embroidered, Ruth would have been a single mother to a young daughter. Newspaper reports and census records suggest that throughout her life Ruth worked in affluent households in Philadelphia. By 1928, she was well-known in Philadelphia's African American high society, gaining regular mention in the "Smart Set" and "High Society" pages of the Philadelphia Tribune, the leading African American newspaper. Auslander writes that Ruth "host[ed] bridge and cocktail parties and [wore] elegant couture."

(meta data) TITLE: First Indian Temple Opens in Seoul

Devotees attend one of the first services at the new Hindu center in Haebangchon, Seoul.

The food is 100 percent vegetarian in keeping with Hindu philosophy.

If you follow the road up from the kimchi pots in Haebangchon, just past Phillies bar, you will discover a Krishna temple right in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the business area.

Yet as soon as you enter and close the door behind you, you will be struck by the tranquility and spiritual atmosphere.

Kamala Roy, an Indian national who has lived here with her investor husband for 12 years, has always felt the lack of a place where she and others could celebrate Indian holy days and various special days such as births or funerals.

For a long time, she used to arrange such meetings at her home, but with the increasing number of Indians coming to live here in Korea, others begged her to open a venue where people could gather and celebrate together.

``A parent in India may pass away, yet there is nowhere to hold a service, so I decided it was high time to start a temple with the support of my husband, who has always been a pillar of strength,'' said Kamala.

The center in Haebanghchon is a branch of the worldwide International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKON), which was started by Srila Pabhupada in 1966, after he traveled alone to America from India.

The society now has 500 temples, schools and farm communities with a membership of 50 million worldwide.

For Kamala, the reason to attend the center is to find out the answers to such questions as ``Who you are?

Do you wish to keep returning to this material world or do you want to get rid of this body?''

The central book of the organization, which has now been translated into Korean, is the Bhagavad Gita, which according to Arun, a senior devotee, is a summary of the philosophy contained in the ancient Vedas written in Sanskrit.

The book covers a conversation between Krishna and Arjuna taking place on the battlefield of Kurukshetra just prior to the start of the Kurukshetra War and the questions and answers are intended as a concise guide to Hindu philosophy and also as a practical, self-contained guide to life.

Two very important tenets of ISKON are vegatarianism and the Hare Krishna mantra which is what attracts many followers.

Arun explained why vegetarianism is so important to the movement.

``The Vedas hold that God is the father of all creatures, not just humans.

As such we are not obliged to eat meat which involves suffering when animals are killed.

Members of the Hare Krishna movement prepare delicious vegetarian meals which they devote to God.

Only after the food is offered to God in a devotional ritual is it then eaten by devotees.''

Arun explained that very soon a vegetarian restaurant will be opened up at the temple which will be open throughout the day.

Most have at sometime heard the Hare Krishna mantra.

According to Arun, this is chanted to ``help us understand our true nature as eternal spiritual beings, beyond the physical body.''

Included in the mantra are the words Krishna, meaning ``all attractive one,'' and Rama which means ``reservoir of all pleasure.''

Apart from its spiritual function, the aim of the center is to provide a cultural center for members of the foreign Indian community.

Children will be able to attend lessons in Hindi, the Hindu religion, drawing, singing and Korean lessons will also be offered.

Additionally there will be lessons offered on some Indian musical instruments.

An Indian professor will also offer classes in Indian physical yoga and a womens' group where women can discuss specific problems they have will also be offered.

The current daily schedule at the temple is 9-10 a.m. mornings and 7-8 p.m. in the evenings except for Sundays when a longer service is held from 5-8 p.m.
