...un by an administrative law judge. Photo by Luis Relampago, via freeimages.com Earlier this month, Judge Martin finally released her “Recommended Opinion and Order” (ROO). We were delighted to see that she largely sided with those of us who opposed what SSVEC wanted to do. But there was one more step in the process. The ROO is a recommendation, not the final decision. That has to be made by the ACC and last Thursday, it was item #33 on a 34 item h...Read More

This time there were 49 known cases with 27 fatalities, for a 55% mortality rate. So, CNN got all excited, especially when Dr. Margaret Chan, the head of the World Health Organization, who ought to know better, called the virus “a threat to the entire world.” Based on fewer than 50 cases. Then she...Read More

Great Stuff for Writers, April 22, 2013

...son (@boydmorrison) points out, Getting Everything Right Is Wrong. When it comes to self-satisfaction, there’s a time to let go of tweaking the micro-details that don’t improve the story. BUSINESS We all know—or we should know—that going to writers’ conferences can be valuable. But what about other kinds? In Get Thee to a Conference, Writer!, Jan Dunlap describes why she goes to what she calls “pre-writing conferences”—conferences that have to do...Read More
