He dragged his mother to the Crossroads of the World on Sunset Boulevard when he was 11 so he could sign up for a specious organization called The Screen Children's Guild.

Arkin has seen a thing or two, and he has a few thoughts about why movies connect with audiences.

In addition, Western culture has been the setting for repeated acts of barbarism: persecutions of certain groups such as Jews, or accused heretics and witches.
Why has this been the case?
This two-part series invites you to consider what might be called the "underbelly" of Western society, a complex mixture of deeply embedded beliefs and unsettling social forces that has given rise to our greatest saints and our most shameful acts. The "terror of history," according to Professor Teofilo F. Ruiz, is a deeply held belief—dating from the ancient Greeks to Nietzsche and beyond—that the world is essentially about disorder and emptiness, and that human beings live constantly on the edge of doom.
We see history as terrifying, so we try to escape it. One strategy is to withdraw through transcendental experiences. Another, unfortunately, is to shift our fears onto scapegoats such as lepers, nonconformists, and other outsiders whom we choose to blame for "the catastrophe of our existence," as Professor Ruiz puts it.
The Renaissance as a Time of Magic and Astrology
This course explores the concept of the terror of history through a study of mysticism, heresy, apocalyptic movements, and the witch hunting craze in Europe between 1000 and 1700. You will examine new sources and think in new ways about events in the centuries from the late medieval period to early modern Europe.
You will be introduced to texts with which you may not be familiar, such as the Zohar, the Book of Splendor, the text of Jewish Kabbalistic mysticism. Or the Malleus Maleficarum, The Hammer of Witches, a handbook for identifying, interrogating, and trying witches.
You will view the Renaissance not from the perspective that it was the beginning of modernity but that it was a time when many among the educated were fascinated by alchemy and magic, when the Pope depended on his astrologer, when the learned considered the Corpus Hermeticum—a mixture of magic and astrology believed to date from the time of Moses—to be a more valuable text than Plato's Symposium.
You will consider how social, economic, political, and religious climates—especially during times of change and stress—exerted tremendous influence on the prevalence of irrational attitudes and persecutions. For example, between 1000 and 1700, periods of economic trouble were highly correlated with a rise in apocalyptic fervor. Similarly, religious wars coincided with the persecution of witches.
This course is presented by a teacher who displays both exceptional mastery over, and endless enthusiasm for, his subject matter. Professor Ruiz has been named one of four Outstanding Teachers of the Year in the United States by the Carnegie Foundation.
Particularly valuable is his willingness to add his own perspective, both professional and personal, to his lectures. Whether discussing aspects of ancient mystical practices that were common in Cuba during his boyhood, or offering an opinion on whether witchcraft has ever truly existed, Professor Ruiz makes clear that history is a living thing.
Why Witches and Heretics Were Persecuted
Much of The Terror of History has to do with the concept of the "other"—those who are seen by society as different—often by virtue of their sex, economic status, or beliefs—and are frequently persecuted.
These lectures examine the concept of otherness in a variety of ways and examine how certain groups came to be seen as other. Often, this involved the creation of boundaries, either real or imaginary, between people.
For example, the enclosure movement of the 15th century fenced peasants off their land, and the Reformation created a new religious boundary between Catholic and Protestant. This made it easier to accuse those who were poor, or of the wrong faith, of being heretics or witches.
The witch craze provides a way to view the concept of other as women's history. Misogynistic attitudes and a growing antipathy toward the poor created a kind of profiling of witches. A witch was identified as someone who was a woman, past childbearing age, poor, lived on the edge of town, and often had certain kinds of esoteric knowledge, such as the use of herbal medicines. In Essex, England, 278 of 291 people accused of witchcraft were women, and all were over 40 years old.
You will also consider how authority—frequently an alliance of secular government and the church—used others for its benefit. The Inquisition and witchhunting were a means to create a sense of community and identity for the populations of emerging nations and to enforce orthodoxy.
Methods of execution, such as hanging, drowning, and burning at the stake, provided multiple benefits: spectacle and entertainment, a sense of shared public purpose, and powerful lessons about the fate of those who deviated from accepted norms.
Have we outgrown the terror of history? Is it behind us?
Professor Ruiz suggests that Western culture can be seen as a pendulum swinging between periods of rational thinking and periods of superstition and irrationality. If we look at the 20th century, it was certainly a time of enormous scientific and technological achievements. On the other hand, it was also the most violent century in history.
The pendulum swings. And the terror of history continues.

Epistle of Barnabas
|Part of a series on
|Christianity portal
The Epistle of Barnabas (Greek: Επιστολή Βαρνάβα, Hebrew: איגרת בארנבס) is a Greek epistle containing twenty-one chapters, preserved complete in the 4th century Codex Sinaiticus where it appears at the end of the New Testament. It is traditionally ascribed to Barnabas who is mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles, although some ascribe it to another Apostolic Father of the same name, "Barnabas of Alexandria", or simply attribute it to an unknown early Christian teacher. A form of the Epistle 850 lines long is noted in the Latin list of canonical works in the 6th century Codex Claromontanus. It is not to be confused with the Gospel of Barnabas.
Manuscript tradition[edit]
The most complete text is in the Codex Sinaiticus (=S; 4th century) and the Codex Hierosolymitanus (=H; 11th century), which are usually in agreement on variant readings. A truncated form of the text in which Polycarp's Epistle to the Philippians 1.1–9.2 continues with Barnabas 5.7a and following, without any indication of the transition, survives in nine Greek manuscripts (=G; from 11th century onward) and often agrees with the old Latin translation (=L) against S and H.
- Until 1843 eight manuscripts, all derived from a common source (G), were known in Western European libraries: none of them contained chapters 1 to chapter 5.7a.
- The 4th century Codex Sinaiticus, in which the Epistle and the Shepherd of Hermas follow the canonical books of the New Testament, contains a more complete manuscript of the text, which is independent of the preceding group of texts.
- The 11th century Codex Hierosolymitanus ("Jerusalem Codex" – relocated from Constantinople), which includes the Didache, is another witness to the full text. This Greek manuscript was discovered by Philotheos Bryennios at Constantinople in 1873, and Adolf Hilgenfeld used it for his edition in 1877.
- There is also an old Latin version of the first seventeen chapters (the Two Ways section in chapters 18 to 21 is not present) which dates, perhaps, to no later than the end of the 4th century and is preserved in a single 9th-century manuscript (St Petersburg, Q.v.I.39). This is a fairly literal rendering in general (but sometimes significantly shorter than the Greek as well), often agreeing with the family G manuscripts. There are also brief citations from the Epistle in the writings of Clement of Alexandria, and a few fragments of the Two Ways material in Syriac and elsewhere.
Early citations[edit]
Toward the end of the 2nd century Clement of Alexandria cites the Epistle. It is also appealed to by Origen of Alexandria. Eusebius, the first major church historian, however, recorded objection to it (see Antilegomena), and ultimately the epistle disappeared from the appendix to the New Testament, or rather the appendix disappeared with the epistle. In the West the epistle never enjoyed canonical authority (though it stands beside the Epistle of James in the Latin manuscripts). In the East, the Stichometry of Nicephorus, the list appended by the 9th century Patriarch of Jerusalem to his Chronography, lists the Epistle of Barnabas in a secondary list, of books that are antilegomena— "disputed"— along with the Revelation of John, the Revelation of Peter and the Gospel of the Hebrews.
The first editor of the epistle, Hugo Menardus (1645) advocated the genuineness of its ascription to Barnabas, but the opinion today is that Barnabas was not the author. It was probably written between the years 70 – 131 and addressed to Christian Gentiles. In 16.3–4, the Epistle reads:
- "Furthermore he says again, 'Behold, those who tore down this temple will themselves build it.' It is happening. For because of their fighting it was torn down by the enemies. And now the very servants of the enemies will themselves rebuild it."
This passage clearly places Barnabas after the destruction of the Second Temple in AD 70. But it also places Barnabas before the Bar Kochba Revolt of AD 132, after which there could have been no hope that the Romans would help to rebuild the temple. The document must come from the period between the two revolts. The place of origin remains an open question, although the Greek-speaking Eastern Mediterranean appears most probable (Treat).
Although the work is not gnostic in a theological sense, the author, who considers himself to be a teacher to the unidentified audience to which he writes (see e.g. 9.9), intends to impart to his readers the perfect gnosis (knowledge), that they may perceive that the Christians are the only true covenant people, and that the Jewish people had never been in a covenant with God. His polemics are, above all, directed against Judaizing Christians (see Ebionites, Nazarenes, Judaizing teachers).
In no other writing of that early time is the separation of the Gentile Christians from observant Jews so clearly insisted upon. The covenant promises, he maintains, belong only to the Christians (e.g. 4.6–8), and circumcision, and the entire Jewish sacrificial and ceremonial system are, according to him, due to misunderstanding. According to the author's conception, Jewish scriptures, rightly understood, contain no such injunctions (chapters 9–10). He is a thorough opponent to Jewish legalism, but by no means an antinomist. At some points the Epistle seems quite Pauline, as with its concept of atonement.
The Epistle reinterprets many of the laws of the Torah. For example, the prohibition on eating pork is not to be taken literally, but rather forbids the people to live like swine, who supposedly grunt when hungry but are silent when full: likewise, the people are not to pray to God when they are in need but ignore him when they are satisfied. Similarly, the prohibition on eating rabbit means that the people are not to behave in a promiscuous manner, and the prohibition on eating weasel is actually to be interpreted as a prohibition of oral sex, based on the mistaken belief that weasels copulate via the mouth.[1]
It is likely that, due to the resurgence of Judaism in the early 2nd century, and the tolerance of the emperor Hadrian, Christians, such as the text's author, felt a need to resist Jewish influences polemically. In this case, the author seems to aim to demonstrate that Jewish understanding of the Mosaic legislation (Torah) is completely incorrect and can now be considered superseded, since in the author's view the Jewish scriptures foreshadowed Jesus and Christianity when rightly understood.
The author quotes liberally from the Old Testament, including the apocryphal books. He quotes from the New Testament gospels twice (4:14, 5:9),[2][1] and is in general agreement with the New Testament presentation of salvation-history. He quotes material resembling 4 Esdras (12.1) and 1 Enoch (4.3; 16.5), which did not become part of the Biblical canon except in some traditions (e.g. 1 Enoch is considered scriptural in the Ethiopian church). The closing Two Ways section (chapters 18–21), see also Didache, which contains a series of moral injunctions, presents "another gnosis and teaching" (18.1) in relation to the body of the epistle, and its connection to the latter has given rise to much discussion.

Interviewee: Anthony W. Gambino, former USAID mission director for the Democratic Republic of Congo
Interviewer: Stephanie Hanson
October 31, 2008
Conflict in eastern Congo has escalated, with hundreds of thousand displaced in recent weeks. Anthony Gambino, former USAID mission director for the Democratic Republic of Congo and author of a new Council Special Report on the country, discusses the rampant lawlessness in the eastern provinces of North and South Kivu. The Congolese military is not fighting rebel groups, but rather looting and fleeing from conflict. Gambino says that the "only plausible force" to secure eastern Congo is the UN peacekeeping force, MONUC. He suggests that the problem in eastern Congo is analogous to the problem Sierra Leone faced in 2000, when a British intervention stabilized the country.
Gambino is critical of U.S. policy toward the Democratic Republic of Congo. "We have regularly been satisfied with small steps that may appear to paper over the crisis of the moment but in no way deal with the fundamental problems." As he notes, the problems in eastern Congo are not new, but have persisted for the past fifteen years. The United States should support an expansion of MONUC by two thousand troops, he says.
The Congolese army needs extensive training to become a professional force, Gambino recommends. He outlines the way in which this training should work, and notes that it will take at least two years before even one or two brigades would be ready for operations.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Buffalo Bills want some answers from Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o this week.
Doug Whaley, the Bills' assistant general manager, told The Buffalo News today in Indianapolis that Te'o will be among the 60 college prospects they interview here at the NFL scouting combine.
Te'o made international headlines last month when it was revealed his dead girlfriend -- a significant part of an inspirational tale about a kid playing through tragedy to become a Heisman Trophy runner-up -- didn't exist.
"Everybody's going to ask him about that drama, but it's just going to be a piece of the puzzle," Whaley said. "We'll treat it independently, just like we'll treat the other 59 guys who might have issues or might not have issues.
"This is one of the things we're here for, to fact-find about all that stuff. ... We'll try to get as much information as possible out of it."
The Bills have the eighth overall pick in April's draft. Te'o is one of the highest-rated linebackers in this year's class, and the Bills badly need help at that position. That was before the Bills released Nick Barnett, last year's leading tackler, nine days ago.
Te'o won the Maxwell Award, Butkus Award, Bednarik Award, Nagurski Trophy, Lombardi Award and Walter Camp Award.
But his draft stock likely has dipped.
In addition to Te'o's off-field soap opera, his draft stock was damaged with a poor performance against Alabama in the national title game, when running backs Eddie Lacy and T.J. Yeldon made him look woefully overmatched.

(November 30, 2012) ANAHEIM, CA – Andre Agassi won his third PowerShares Series event of the season when he dispatched hometown favorite and Orange County's own Michael Chang, 8-4 in the championship match of the Acura Champions Cup at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA.
"It's a real blessing for all of us guys that grew up together to be playing out here on this platform, and to give back to the game that has given us so much," said Agassi, in front of an adoring Southern California crowd. "Regardless of how we finish, we all have a great time competing against one another, and I really enjoyed the PowerShares Series again this season. I look forward to coming back in 2013."
Agassi closed out the evening and the 2012 Series in dramatic style, as he and Chang waged a ferocious battle with Agassi leading 7-4, and on the verge of winning the event. With Chang serving, Agassi failed to convert 10 match points, as Chang did everything he could to stay alive. But on the 11th attempt, Agassi secured the victory when he forced Chang into a backhand error.
In the evening's first semifinal, Chang played inspired tennis in front of his friends and family, as he beat Courier, 6-4. In the second semifinal, Agassi was in control from the beginning and spoiled John McEnroe's chance at winning the overall points title, with a 6-2 triumph. Had McEnroe won the event tonight, he would have secured the #1 ranking for the season and the $500,000 first prize, which went to Courier.

WILMINGTON, Delaware - Junior Thomas Bass rebounded in the second round with a one-over-par 72 to help UNCW move into the lead after 36 holes at the Colonial Athletic Association golf championships at the Wilmington Country Club on Saturday.
The Seahawks erased a one-stroke deficit to Georgia State, who dropped into a tie for second with Old Dominion, who shot a 290 to move into contention.
Delaware's Greg Matthias (72-68=140) fashioned a tournament low round 68 to take over the medalist lead by two strokes over first round leader Marc Dobias (70-72=142) of VCU.
Payne McLeod (72-75=147) leads the UNCW lineup and is in sixth place.
Bass (80-72=152) struggled in the opening round, but found his groove and posted a low round for the Seahawks on the day. Sophomore Patrick Sawrey's 73 (76-73=149) elevated him into the top-10, in a tie for ninth.
Sophomore Ryan Nagy (74-76=150) is in 11th overall and is followed by Bass and red-shirt sophomore Stefan Brewer (79-75=154) in 13th and 25th, respectively.

BLOTTER: Police reports published Dec. 19
Staff Reports
Niagara Gazette
— Niagara Falls
• INCIDENT: Falls police are investigating a report of a person shot at on the 1100 block of Linwood Avenue about 6:15 p.m. Monday.

North Carolina set a school record for most regular-season victories, spent most of the season ranked No. 1 in the nation and won its first regular-season ACC championship since 1990. Perhaps it's fitting, then, that two Tar Heels earned ACC player of the year honors.
Colin Moran, UNC's junior third baseman, was named on Monday the ACC Player of the Year. Kent Emanuel, UNC's junior left-hander, was named the ACC Pitcher of the Year. The league's 12 head coaches voted on the awards.
Moran, who leads the nation in RBIs, became the seventh player in school history to receive ACC Player of the Year honors, and first since Dustin Ackley in 2009. Emanuel, meanwhile, is the third UNC pitcher to be the conference pitcher of the year, and first since Alex White in 2008.
Entering UNC's regular-season finale on Monday night against Florida State, Moran was batting .376 with 13 home runs, 83 RBIs and an on-base percentage of .504. Emanuel, the Tar Heels' No. 1 pitcher throughout the season, is 9-3 with a 2.28 ERA. He has pitched a team-high 102.2 innings, and leads UNC with 79 strikeouts. His 20 walks are the fewest of the Heels' three regular weekend starters.
UNC senior first baseman Cody Stubbs joined Moran and Emanuel on the All-ACC first team. N.C. State sophomores Trea Turner, a shortstop, and Carlos Rodon, a left-handed pitcher, also received first-team All-ACC honors.
Stubbs ranks among the top 10 nationally with 66 RBIs, and his 21 doubles are the 10th-most in school history in a single season. Rodon, the Wolfpack's ace, leads the nation with 137 strikeouts and is 10 strikeouts away from tying the school record for strikeouts in a single season.
Rodon earned first-team all-conference honors for the second consecutive season. Turner received first-team honors for the first time. He leads N.C. State in batting average (.383), slugging percentage (.589), on-base percentage (.463), runs (68), triples (4), and home runs (6). A prolific base-stealer, Turner enters the postseason with 24 steals, and he already holds the school record for career stolen bases.
N.C. State senior first baseman Tarran Senay was named to the All-ACC second team, as was UNC freshman outfielder Skye Bolt and freshman relief pitcher Trent Thornton. Duke sophomore second baseman Andy Perez and junior third baseman Jordan Betts also received second-team honors.
Virginia coach Brian O'Connor was named ACC Coach of the Year, and Cavaliers freshman Joe McCarthy was named ACC Freshman of the Year. Four Virginia players were named to the All-ACC first team. UNC and Georgia Tech each had three players on the first team.

Towamencin Township Police are working on a joint investigation with the Pennsylvania State Police to identify a man authorities say is responsible for credit card fraud and other theft-related offenses in four Pennsylvania counties.
Police said the man used cloned credit cards to purchase gift cards during the second week in January 2013.
The man used the cloned cards at Walgreens stores in Flourtown, Drexel Hill and the Feasterville-Trevose area, police said.
Police said the suspect also used a cloned credit card with the Philadelphia Parking Authority on M Street in Philadelphia on Jan. 10, 2013.
The suspect was captured on video in one incident wearing a Billionaire Boys Club varsity jacket with white sleeves and the Roman numerals MMXIII (2013) on the back, police said.
Employees of Walgreens and other pharmacy retail locations are encouraged to be vigilant for the suspect and report suspicious activity to police, police said, which includes the use of multiple credit cards.

|Scientific Name:
|Manis crassicaudata
|Species Authority:
|É. Geoffroy, 1803
Common Name(s):
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Near Threatened ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Molur, S.
|Stuart, S.N. & Molur, S. (Global Mammal Assessment Team)
This species is listed as Near Threatened (NT) because it is suspected to be in significant decline (though not at a rate of over 30% over the past and future ten years) primarily due to hunting for food and medicine. The future threats from hunting could increase even more, given the significant declines experienced by Manis pentadactyla and Manis javanica. Almost qualifies as threatened under criterion A.
|Range Description:
|This species occurs in South Asia from parts of eastern Pakistan through much of India (excluding northeastern portions of the country) south of the Himalayas, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka (CITES 2000; Schlitter 2005). There have been dubious records in Myanmar (sources quoted in Allen 1938) and southern China (Yunnan) which almost certainly refer to Manis javanica (WCMC et al. 1999).
In Bangladesh, this species was historically found throughout the country, excluding the coastal parts of Khulna, Barisal, Pauakhali, Noakhali and Chittagong Districts. The species is presumed extinct in Kushtia, Jessore, Pabna, Bogra, Rangpur, Dinajpur, Rajshahi, and most parts of Dhaka and Comilla (Khan 1985).
In India, this species is widely distributed from the plains and lower hills south of the Himalayas to extreme southern India (Tikader 1983). There have been recent records from Kerala and Kanyakumari; Tamil Naidu; Delhi; Gwalior and Achanakur Wildlife Sanctuaries (Madhya Pradesh); Bandipur, Bhadra, Dalma and Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuaries; Bandipur Tiger Reserve (Karnataka); Buxa Tiger Reserve (West Bengal); Catugao Wildlife Sanctuary (Goa); Chambal National Park (Madhya Pradesh); Gir National Park (Gujarat); Keolodeo Ghana Wildlife Sanctuary (Rajasthan); Kotgarh and Kuldiha Wildlife Sanctuaries and the Sunabedh Plateau (Orissa); Singalila Wildlife Sanctuary (West Bengal); Achanakuar Wildlife Sanctuary (Madhya Pradesh); and the Himalayan foothills of Uttar Pradesh (CITES 2000).
This species is very locally distributed in Pakistan, where it has been recorded in Sialkot, Jhelum and Gujrat Districts in the northwest of the Punjab, extending across the Salt Range into Kohat District, and from Campbellpur District up to Mardan and Peshawar in the North West Frontier Province (Roberts 1977; CITES 2000). It was found in the Potwar Range upwards into the Rawalpindi foothills (up to 750 m asl). Further south, the species appears to be absent from the Indus River floodplain, however, there are records from the right bank of the Indus in the hilly regions in the western part of the Dadu and Larkana deserts (Baluchistan) and extended southward through Las Bela and Mekran. It also occurs east of the Indus in Hyderabad district and Tharparkar, extending eastwards to Kutch (Roberts 1977; CITES 2000). The species was described in 1986 as rare (CITES 2000).
In Sri Lanka, this species is locally found throughout the lowlands, up to 1,100 m asl in hill regions, coinciding with the range of termites (Phillips 1981; WCMC et al. 1999).
Native:Bangladesh; India; Pakistan; Sri Lanka
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
There is virtually no information available on population levels of any species of Asian pangolins. These species are rarely observed due to their secretive, solitary, and nocturnal habits, and there is not enough research on population densities or global population (WCMC et al. 1999; CITES 2000).
This species is thought to occur in small numbers in Bangladesh, where this species was described as rare in 1986 (Khan 1985). In India, the overall status the species is not well known (Tikader 1983). This species was relatively uncommon in Pakistan (Roberts 1977). It is reportedly of variable abundance in Sri Lanka, but nowhere common (Phillips 1981). Overall, the species is thought to be in significant decline due to hunting for food and medicine.
|Population Trend:
|Habitat and Ecology:
There is little known about the natural history of this species, but records are from various types of tropical forests, open land, grasslands, in addition to in close proximity to villages (Zoological Survey of India, 1994). The species is thought to adapt well to modified habitats, provided their termites and ants that are their primary food source remains abundant and they are not hunted. The species is a specialist feeder on termites and ants (Prater 1971; Roberts 1977; Tikader 1983). It is generally solitary and nocturnal (Roberts, 1977). Animals live in burrows often under large rocks, with the entrance to the burrow often hidden with dirt (Roberts, 1977). Females usually give birth to one young, although twins are apparently not unknown, with a gestation length of 65-70 days (CITES 2000). Longevity in the wild is unknown, although the record longevity in captivity is 13 years 2 months (Jones, 1982).
This species is nocturnal, and solitary, except during mating season, when adult males and females share the same burrow. The species is mainly terrestrial, but in some habitats is arboreal, using its prehensile tail and claws to climb trees.
|Major Threat(s):
The species can adapt to modified habitats, although a large proportion of its range has high human population density. The principal factor affecting the species is exploitation, largely for meat and for medicinal purposes, with the scales thought to have aphrodisiac properties. Trade in Manis crassicaudata parts appears to be mostly at a subsistence or local level, with little international trade currently reported. Records of trade in this species outside of the confirmed range states are presumed to be misidentifications of other Manis species (CITES 2000).
Throughout Asia, pangolin meat is highly favoured as a local source of food. In addition, pangolin skins are used to manufacture leather goods such as boots and shoes. Scales are used whole, or in powdered form, in preparing traditional medicines. In Bangladesh, the species is regularly collected in hill forest areas for the scales and as a source of meat, and possibly disappeared in many parts of Bangladesh due, in a large part, to hunting (Khan 1985; CITES 2000).
There is limited evidence of trade, either legal or illegal, in Manis crassicaudata, but very little is known about its status across its range, its life history, or how well it adapts to human threats (CITES 2000). There is evidence that the species is being severely impacted by hunting in India and at the same time its status in Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka appears to be decreasing. Given the level of trade that appears to be occurring in other Asian pangolin species (especially Manis javanica and Manis pentadactyla), it is reasonable to assume that as these two species become rarer and more difficult to obtain, that more trade could shift to Manis crassicaudata (CITES 2000).
|Conservation Actions:
This species is listed on CITES Appendix II. A zero annual export quota has been established for specimens removed from the wild and traded for primarily commercial purposes. It is protected by national legislation in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. This widespread species is present in a number of protected areas. There is a need for further research into current population levels of this species throughout its known range.
In Bangladesh, all pangolins are legally protected.
In India, this species is included in Schedule I of the Wildlife Protection Act 1972.
In Pakistan, this species is protected under the Islamabad Wildlife (Protection, Preservation, Conservation, and Management) Ordinance, 1979 and the North-West Frontier Province Wildlife (Protection, Preservation, Conservation, and Management) Act, 1975.
Hunting of this speices is prohibited in Sri Lanka (Broad et al. 1988) and Nepal (Gaski and Hemley 1991).

... or why we should(n't) put the nose back on the Sphinx.
The merits – or otherwise – of historical conservation was the subject of a splendid debate last week at the Foreign Correspondents Club in Delhi.
In one corner was Sam Miller, BBC man and author of Delhi: Adventures in a Megacity, who argued in favour of a gentle sort of conservation that quietly shored up picturesque ruins, preserved only what was genuinely historical without replacing lost elements or incorporating new additions, and that paid full regard to the importance of personal memory and nostalgia. In a sentence, his position was perhaps that old places should feel old.
In the other corner was Ratish Nanda, project director at the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, who contended that the original intent of the creator was the most important factor in preservation, and that on occasion it was appropriate to use traditional skills and materials to restore a site to its original state. In other words, old places could be best served by becoming new again.
The main example both men discussed was the area around Humayun's Tomb, a sixteenth century world heritage site in Delhi, where Ratish Nanda has been leading a major programme of conservation. His work has been criticised for 'too much use of the paint pot,' with formerly crumbling Mughal buildings becoming suddenly dazzling white and red. He showed us a number photos to illustrate the work he has been doing (drawing some gasps of horror from the journalists in the audience):
It was easy to sympathise with those who chorused the restored buildings looked too bright, too new, too like images (as Sam Miller said) on a chocolate box lid.
But Ratish Nanda explained that years of substandard restoration work to the buildings – often using cement – had led to waterlogging, structural cracks, and corrosion. After extensive research, his team had removed the ill-advised materials, and uncovered and repaired many original features. Nowhere had been painted – the bright whites and reds were coloured plaster which exactly replicated how the Mughals themselves had first decorated the buildings. After two or three monsoons, the colours would soften and start to look more mellow and appropriate. But Ratish had resisted calls for the plaster to be made 'biscuit' coloured from day one, as white and red was the authentic scheme.
Sam Miller maintained his position that such extensive restoration was a kind of fakery. At the very least he argued that any new materials or repairs should be clearly marked, so that people knew what was original and what was contemporary work. Ratish Nanda agreed that, in some cases, simply preserving what was left would be the best option. But so much of Humayun's Tomb had survived the centuries, and it was so significant a site and so well-documented, that full restoration in this case, he argued, was the most appropriate action.
After all this discussion and dispute on Humayun's Tomb, the two men did agree on one thing: neither of them would put the nose back on the Sphinx.

Not only does the system look cool and unleash the V-twin's heavy rumble, it drops more than 25 pounds.www.supertrapp.com Easy Rider Commemorative PosterWant something to remind you of the idealism, passion and frustration of your youth?

And I Too Love the Light
Sunday June 16
|Sam Joyner
And I Too Love the Light
The photographs included in this exhibit, titled And I too Love the Light, by Tulsa photographer Sam Joyner were captured using film-based cameras. Joyner uses a large format 4" x 5" view camera or a Hassleblad medium format camera. Through the use of larger format photography, an image of higher resolution is produced. This allows for enlargements and smooth gradation without the grain or blur that would characterize similarly enlarged images produced from smaller film formats. The larger size of the film also allows for better control of the depth of field and therefore more photographic creativity.
Of Joyner's vision for his photography, the artist explains, "In spite of things dark and discouraging, the photographer's special challenge is to go beyond the cliches and stereotypes of our over-imaged, media-manipulated world and find the evidence of yes - to reveal scenes of awe, wonder, and curiosity with complete honesty - to find the quiet beauty of coherence, rhythm, and order."

Green Magic Resort
Kerala, India
Getting there: Cane Lift
The quickest way up to this tree house resort is via a cane lift—a counter-weight system that looks something like a giant birdcage hanging from a thick branch. Once up top, hanging bridges connect the tree houses, which are perched as high as 115 feet above the forest floor. (Ground-level villas and cottages are also available if you want more sure-footing.)

It is mid-May, the thick of the clay season, theF time of year when tennis players socks get really dirty, and when Rafael Nadal looks superhuman. The 2013 French Open in Paris is 10 days away, and this is what we know:
• Andy Murray may not make it to Roland Garros. He had a horrible 26th birthday on Wednesday, retiring during his second-round Italian Open match against Marcel Granollers. He said afterward that he considered himself doubtful for the French Open.
I have an issue with my lower back, Murray said. Its been an issue for a while.
Granollers won the first set 6-3 and Murray had won the second 7-6 (7-5), but he was in too much discomfort to go on.
I would be very surprised if I was playing in Paris, Murray said. I need to make a plan as to what I [will] do. Ill chat with the guys and make a plan for the next few days, then make a decision on Paris after the next five days.
I want to make sure it goes away, Murray added. Its been a problem since the end of 2011 but it got bad during last years clay season.
• Maria Sharapova is the defending French Open champion, but Serena Williams is looking like the woman to beat. The top-ranked Williams cruised past Sharapova 6-1, 6-4 in the Madrid Open final last week, her 12th win in a row over the Russian. Williams is 13-2 against Sharapova and hasnt lost to her since 2004.
Never mind that Williams is 31 years old and had not won a tournament on red clay since 2002. She dominated Sharapova in Madrid, and that doesnt happen often to her on red clay. She entered the match with 17 wins in a row on clay and was 27-1 in her past 28 clay matches, including the 2012 French Open title.
With the win, Williams retained her No. 1 world ranking and established herself as the early favorite at Roland Garros.
• Nadal looks like the Nadal of old. Since his return from knee trouble in February, the Spaniard is 31-2, has won five titles (two of them at Masters events) and pocketed $3 million in prize money. He beat Stanislas Wawrinka 6-2, 6-4 in the Madrid Open final. Any doubt that Nadal would return to top form in time for Paris has been erased. He is still the King of Clay.
• Novak Djokovic had a forgettable week in Madrid. Not only did he lose his opening match to Grigor Dimitrov, he was booed by Spanish fans. They didnt like his questioning of line calls, and they really didnt like when he called for a trainer down a set and 4-2. His ankle was bothering him, which is why he called for medical help, but the fans considered it poor gamesmanship.
Djokovic got a much warmer reception this week at the Italian Open, where he is always a crowd favorite. The fact that he speaks fluent Italian helps. He won his opening match easily, 6-2, 6-3, over Spanish qualifier Albert Montanes.
• Roger Federer is still looking for his groove after a seven-week break from the tour. He lost to Kei Nishikori in the third round of Madrid, his first tournament since Indian Wells. He looked much more comfortable Tuesday at the Italian Open, where he beat Italian wild card Potito Starace 6-1, 6-2 to advance to the third round.
I feel the way I want to feel, Federer said after the Starace match. Im happy that from start to finish I was able to control the outcome of the match.

Daily Item
---- — The world "entitlement" is thrown around to depict people as lazy and parasitic. "Moochers" was a word much used by Ayn Rand in her books.
Let's talk about who really thinks they are absolutely entitled. When Reagan was president, he fired the air traffic controllers and lots of people cheered as showing those union people who was the real boss. The truth is -- that scenario didn't do anything to alleviate the problem -- it continued when Reagan left office.
It is kind of like people believing when a common person is awarded a huge settlement in a lawsuit they rarely actually receive that amount.
More often than not, those huge payments are never a reality but are used by the right-wing press to inflame people and create tort reform to ultimately get to the point where a common person has no recourse in a situation where they have a legitimate complaint against a corporation. These are all "frivolous" lawsuits. We have seen a large attitude shift from business from appreciating and valuing employees to a dislike and indifference -- with a big focus on appeasing stockholders
Since the 1980s we have seen jobs move overseas, substandard wages in jobs with little or no benefits, exorbitant health care costs, exorbitant educations costs (at one time these were programs that used to be in the secondary public schools like vocational education), the destruction of downtowns by large corporate entities that get lots of tax breaks and perks for putting in more big-box stores, less security in jobs, less safe conditions in the workplace, and so on.
All of this has created a level of unprecedented wealth and huge growth in the number of billionaires. Massive deregulation due to the influence of corporations in the realm of government has occurred and the money just pours in.
More recently, we have had two wars being funded by taxpayers with lucrative, often "no bid" contracts for the corporate entities. Now, to solve a fiscal crisis (which we don't even have accurate information on) they are coming after Medicare and Social Security.
There have been certain media venues that have shamelessly promoted this whole scenario of the unworthy lazy public and the industrious deserving wealthy class -- though I think this scenario is being widely debunked as evidence of the last election.
The irony is that vulture capitalists have been lionized in this country and postal workers and teachers have been portrayed as arch enemies.
I think when the word moocher is used and the word entitlement is used as a pejorative -- we are focusing on the wrong groups, people. Can you see where the hubris, arrogance and condescension is coming from?
Alexis Fasolka,
Marion Heights

Meadville Tribune
Robert (Bob) Kenneth Bartlett, age 87, of Millcreek, passed away Saturday, June 29, 2013, which is also his mother's birthday.
He was born in Ashtabula, Ohio, on Dec. 24, 1925; he later learned that this was the very same date upon which his wife's parents were married. Bob always was a very careful planner!
He was the son of the late Kenneth A. Bartlett and Florence Stewart Bartlett Stafford.
Bob attended Ashtabula Schools and graduated from Academy High School in Erie. He then served in the U.S. Air Force. He had many stories to share about the foreign countries he saw during his tour. When he returned home he attended Gannon University and earned his bachelor's degree.
He worked for Beck Shoes, General Contractors and Sperry-Univac (later Unysis) where he was a field engineer. After his retirement, Bob was actively involved with the Erie Chapter of the American Red Cross.
He loved meeting and helping people, and his volunteer work took him to many disaster sites around the country. Bob and his wife, Rosalind, loved to travel, and they visited every corner of the U.S. and many places in Canada. They participated in countless elder hostels learning new skills and seeing amazing wildlife and natural beauty. He had a deep passion for music, especially big band and jazz. He and Rosalind had their first date at a dance held at Rainbow Gardens. Bob also loved playing golf. He shared the links with a special group of buddies, including Jack and Jimmie (he loved you guys). He enjoyed watching golf tournaments on TV and visiting Augusta for the Masters Tournament.
Bob joins his beloved wife, Rosalind Nichols Bartlett, who passed away Jan. 9, 2011, whom he married Aug. 18, 1951.
He was brother to Eileen Donnell, Shirley and John Strokes; half brother to Nancy Rush and Connie Hoteling; and stepbrother to Lois Zilhaver and Norma Jean. Additionally, he is survived by his children, Laurie Stephenson of Littleton, Colo., Craig and Mary Bartlett of Fairview, Jane and Carl Burrows of Meadville; his grandchildren, Tanner Stephenson, David Bartlett, Lainey Crawley, Elliot Burrows and Olivia Burrows; great-grandsons, Aiden Bartlett, Gary Schumann and Aaron Burrows; stepgrandchildren, Melvin Burrows, Misty Clepper, Joseph Mando and Gretchen Mando; and many nieces and nephews.
Friends may call at Burton Westlake Funeral Home, 3801 W. 26th St., Erie, on Tuesday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 7 p.m., and may attend services at Immanuel Lutheran Church on Wednesday at 11 a.m., with the Rev. Kimberly Saylor officiating.
Burial will be private at a later date.
Bob was grateful to spend his final days at home with his loving son and daughter-in-law, Craig and Mary. He loved and appreciated his hospice team at Asera Care, especially Marian.
Memorials may be made to Immanuel Lutheran Church, 1002 Powell Ave., Erie Pa. 16505; the American Red Cross, Erie Chapter, 4961 Pittsburgh Ave., Erie, Pa. 16509; or Asera Care Hospice, 1600 Peninsula Drive, Erie, Pa. 16505.
