In the 1940s, the state labeled Raymond stanley flask W. Hudlow a mental defective and surgically sterilized him.Years later, his nation honored him as a war hero, awarding him the Bronze Star for valor, the Purpl stanley cup e Heart and the Prisoner of War Medal for service in World War II.Now the Virginia General Assembly has refused to apologize to Hudlow and the more than 7,400 other Virginians sterilized under the state s eugenics program between 1924 and 1979. They treated us just like hogs, like we had no feelings, said Hudlow, now 75.Instead, the state Senate voted Wednesday to express profound regret for the General Assembly s action 77 years ago that led to forced sterilizations. The House of Delegates already passed the resolution, and Gov. Jim Gilmore said he believes an expression of regret is sufficient. It seems that there s a trend in this country to rewrite history, and now we re going to go back and stir the pot on history and take some of those most unfortunate chapters in our history and relive them for no real purpose, Sen. Warren E. Barry said from the Senate floor.But Hudlow says the trauma inflicted on him when he was a teen-ager in the wards of the Virginia Colony for Epileptics and Feebleminded has never left him. He has more flashbacks about that time than the terror of combat and imprisonment by the Germans, he said. I remember this just as it was yesterday, Hudlow said. It has always been in my min stanley polska d. It has never left me. Although eugenics eventually was dis Izym Top U.S. Commander In Mideast Quits
The Lick Observatory in the mountains east of San Jose, California, is the testing grounds for all-new technology developed by graduate students in the Univeristy of California system. At least, it has been. Now it being defunded, it an open question where testing will take place in the not-so-distant future. Lick Observatory had the first laser-guide star fo stanley shop r adaptive optics. Image credit: Laurie Hatch Transferring funding from Lick Observatory to other telescopes may seem like a minor bit of budgetary shuffling, but it a bigger deal than defunding a single location. You can get the whole, convoluted stanley kaffeebecher picture at this feature in The Daily Californian, but the short version is that the Lick Observatory is the only telescope fully-owned by the University of California. That makes it the only telescope that graduate students are allowed to tinker with when trying out experimental equipment. While the universities have timeshares at other observatories like the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, those observatories are under so much global demand that tinkering is unwelcome. Yet tinkering is exactly how progress is made. UC Davis doctoral student of applied science Sona Hosseini explains: If UC Office of the President doesn ;t allow students to do this 鈥?to mess up and rebuild and mess up and rebuild 鈥?we are jus stanley tazas t going to continue doing what we already know how to do and never do anything new.
