J.D. meets J.D. as Jack Dann writes from down under about the imagined ...
I can remember gazing at the colorful covers before I could read, and as I learned to read, the collection had of course grown. The first SF novel I read was Festus Pragnell's The Green Man of Graypek, an early SF novel; and the reason I read it first was because I had been entranced by the Hannes Bok cover as a child. So the idea of genre novels and stories was in my mind from the get-go, a familiar part of the world of literature that I was exploring. The first frisson happened when I met George Zebrowski and Pamela Sargent at SUNY Binghamton, which has renamed itself Binghamton University. That was in the late '60s. George had extraordinary ambition and was determined to be a writer ... a science-fiction writer. George and I started collaborating on short stories, which we sold.
Spears, Ledger shouldn't be laughed at now
Celebrities spend their time on a pedestal for all to see, a spotlight shining on them so that all the public can study their every move beneath a microscope and criticize them. It's unfair for any human being to have to live with that level of attention on their shoulders, but that's the price paid in return for the fame and the fortune it pays them.With that attention can come a lot of jokes made at their expense. For the most part, I don't think that's a problem. If you can't take a joke or two, how did you even manage the process of working your way up the ladder to the position you're on?It's a tough world, and you have to have a tough skin.However, we should all know that there are limits to when jokes should be made and who they should target.A lot of jokes have been made about Britney Spears, and that's to be expected when someone attacks SUVs with umbrellas, shaves their head and loses a custody battle to Kevin Federline.However, with the news Thursday that Spears had been admitted into the hospital for a "mental evaluation hold," I would hope the jokes cease for a while.

Zednik stable after carotid artery severed in Panthers-Sabres game
He was conscious, I guess, that's what the trainer said. His eyes were closed, but he was moving and moaning." Zednik's injury was eerily reminiscent of an injury sustained by Sabres goaltender Clint Malarchuk about 19 years ago at Buffalo's Memorial Auditorium. On March 22, 1989, Malarchuk severed his jugular vein when St. Louis Blues forward Steve Tuttle was upended while skating toward the crease, slicing Malarchuk with a skate. "I was back here watching, and I knew what it was right away," Sabres longtime equipment manager Rip Simonick told The Buffalo News. "Just like that night." Malarchuk required over 300 stitches but spent only one night in the hospital, returning to practice after four days. On April 2, he played the final five minutes in the season finale, less than two weeks after his injury.
