This week began the trial of two teenaged boys in Steubenville, Ohio, who were charged with the rape and kidnapping of a 15-year-old girl at a high school party. The boys are members of the High School football team. Other members of the team witnessed the alleged sexual assault by Mays and Richmond of the girl, who was blackout drunk and vomiting on herself. Partygoers snapped pictures of her being carried around by her arms and legs and tweeted and texted pics of her degradation; another student at the party filmed a video where he joked about the “dead girl.”
Ever since the Steubenville rape began getting press coverage, the former porn star Traci Lords has been vocal about the local culture’s misogynistic culture. She herself was raped in Steubenville at age 10 by a 14-year-old boy. Yesterday, Lords, who is now a musician, released a song called “Stupidville”— a slang term for the town that the locals use— about sexual assault.
George R. R. Martin, please write, and write faster
You’re not going to get any younger, you know
Winter is coming, I’m growing impatient
And you’ve still got two more damn books left to go
So write, George, write like the wind!

Here's a fascinating follow up to the H1N1 flu fears from a couple of years ago. At the height of concern, researchers at the University of Chicago, Emory University, and the CDC, began studying the antibodies a human immune system produced when exposed to the H1N1 strain of flu. At the time, they were hoping to create emergency "vaccines", a way to protect health care workers during an epidemic by injecting them with antibodies from people who'd already faced down the virus.
What they found is something potentially much more important: Antibodies produced in response to H1N1 seem to defend against many other strains of the flu, as well.
