When Trimble County traveled to North Oldham Sept. 29, the Lady Raiders volleyball team found it difficult to keep up with the powerhouse squad known as the Lady Mustangs.
The Runnin' Raiders ran in the Madison Courier Invitational this weekend.
The race was held Sept. 27 at Hanover College, the NCAA Division III National College Championship XC course. Teams such as Silver Creek (IN), Switzerland County (IN), Madison (IN), Austin (IN), Scottsburg (IN), Charlestown (IN), New Washington (IN), Shawe Memorial (IN), Rising Sun (IN), Carroll County (KY), and Southwestern (IN) competed in the meet.
When a construction worker fell to his death Sept. 18 at Trimble County's Louisville Gas & Electric generating station, it was mere hours before a spokesman for his employer, Becon Construction, released his identity.
Nearly two weeks later, that same spokesman is releasing new information – not about the cause of the accident, but about the man's true identity.

It took 15 years, but Juan Fernandez won his first Jim Ramsey Tennis Tournament this past weekend.
The tournament, an annual event for 28 years, was held Saturday, Sept. 27, at the county's Robert M. Westrick Memorial Park. The tournament is named for Ramsey, a fellow Carroll County High School alumni of organizer Doug Fothergill's, who died in an an automobile accident two years after graduation.
Fears of low turnout for last weekend's Trimble County Repair Affair proved unfounded as more than 150 people showed up for the event.

It's been a long, rocky, country road for the Trimble County football team, 1-3.
A Louisville man was arrested Sept. 28 and charged with DUI after the vehicle he was driving collided with two houses outside Milton.
Mark Jeffery, 36, was arrested shortly after the collision that damaged two homes in the 9900 block of Hwy. 421 North.
According to Milton Fire & Rescue Assistant Chief Jason Long, a 1999 Buick Lasabre crashed into the two homes, "running through the garage" of one, after Jeffrey lost control of the car just before 3 a.m. Sunday.
Last week the Runnin' Raiders competed in and swept the Carroll County NCKC meet.
Teams such as Williamstown, Owen, Henry, Carroll, and Gallatin County competed in the Sept. 23 meet.
I would like to compliment Chief Ronnie McCane, George Griffith and the entire Trimble County disaster management team.
During the recent wind storm, they provided traffic control due to power outages to the traffic signals, risking personal injury when they needed to be at home taking care of their own properties.
Trimble County should be proud of this fine group of men and women.

The Lady Panthers had good times and bad times during home games last week against Oldham County and Trimble County.
On Thursday, Sept. 25, the Carroll County High School team worked long and hard, but lost to Oldham County, 25-13 and 25-9. Oldham is the No. 1 seed in the district.
But it was good practice as they prepare for the upcoming Class A state tournament.

Uniquely among the world's cities, İstanbul stands astride two continents, Europe and Asia. As if its spectacular geographical location were not enough, it can also boast of being the only city to have played capital to consecutive Christian and Islamic empires, a role that has shaped the region's history for more than 2500 years and bequeathed to İstanbul a staggering wealth of attractions; these range from the masterpiece Byzantine church of Aya Sofya to the formidable city walls, and the domes and minarets of the Ottoman mosques and palaces that dominate the city skyline. Although no longer its capital, the city remains the vibrant economic, cultural and intellectual heart of modern Turkey, a bustling, go-ahead city where east really does meet west.
In conservative districts such as Fatih, bearded men sporting skullcaps and baggy shalwar-style trousers devoutly heed the call to prayer, while women wouldn't dream of leaving the house with their heads uncovered. Yet across the water, the tidal wave of humanity sweeping down İstiklal Caddesi (Independence Street) holds young Turkish men and women in designer jeans and trainers who have never been to the mosque in their lives. In business districts such as Şişli, commuters arrive via the metro to work in high-rise office blocks, shop in state-of-the-art malls, and at weekends can be out clubbing until 6am.
Whether yours is the İstanbul of the Blue Mosque and the Topkapı Palace, or the Beyoğlu nightclubs and swish rooftop cocktail bars, the city takes time to get to know. Three to four days is enough to see the major historical sights in Sultanahmet and take a ferry trip on the Bosphorus. But plan on staying a week, or even two, if you want to explore fully the backstreets of the Old City and the outlying suburbs and islands.
Brief history
In 2008, while digging the Yenikapı metro station, archeologists uncovered a Neolithic settlement dating back to circa 6500 BC. In popular tradition, however, the city was founded in the seventh century BC by Byzas, from Megara in Greece – hence the original name of Byzantium. Over the next thousand years, Byzantium became an important centre of trade and commerce, though not until the early fourth century AD did it reach the pinnacle of its wealth, power and prestige. For more than 350 years, it had been part of the Roman province of Asia. On Diocletian's retirement in 305, Licinius and Constantine fought for control of the empire. Constantine finally defeated his rival on the hills above Chrysopolis (Üsküdar) and chose Byzantium as the site for the new capital of the Roman Empire in 330 BC. The hilly promontory, commanding the Bosphorus and easily defensible on its landward side, was a superb choice. It was also well placed for access to the troublesome frontiers of both Europe and the Persian Empire.
In 395, the division of the Roman Empire between the two sons of Theodosius I left what was now named Constantinople as capital of the eastern part of the empire. It rapidly developed its own distinctive character, dissociating itself from Rome and adopting the Greek language and Christianity. Long and successful government was interrupted briefly, in Justinian's reign, by the Nika riots in 532. Half a century later, however, the dissolution of the Byzantine Empire had begun, as waves of Persians, Avars and Slavs attacked from the east and north. The empire was overrun by Arab invaders in the seventh and eighth centuries, and by Bulgars in the ninth and tenth. Only the city walls saved Constantinople, and even these could not keep out the Crusaders, who breached the sea walls in 1204 and sacked the city.
As the Byzantine Empire declined, the Ottoman Empire expanded. The Ottomans established first Bursa, then Edirne, as their capital, and Ottoman territory effectively surrounded the city long before it was taken. In 1453, Mehmet II (the Conqueror) – also known as Fatih Sultan Mehmet – besieged the city, which fell after seven weeks. Following the capture and subsequent pillage, Mehmet II began to rebuild the city, starting with a new palace and continuing with the Mosque of the Conqueror (Fatih Camii) and many smaller complexes. Tolerant of other religions, Mehmet actively encouraged Greek and Armenian Christians to take up residence in the city. His successor Beyazit II continued this policy, settling Jewish refugees from Spain into the city in an attempt to improve the economy.
In the century following the Conquest, the victory was reinforced by the reign of Süleyman the Magnificent (1520–66), "the Lawgiver" and greatest of all Ottoman leaders. His attempted conquest of Europe was only thwarted at the gates of Vienna, and the wealth gained in his military conquests funded the work of Mimar Sinan, the finest Ottoman architect.
A century after the death of Süleyman, the empire began to show signs of decay. Territorial losses abroad combined with corruption at home, which insinuated its way into the very heart of the empire, Topkapı Palace itself. Newly crowned sultans emerged, often insane, from the institution known as the Cage, while others spent time in the harem rather than on the battlefield, consorting with women who increasingly became involved in grand-scale political intrigue. As Ottoman territory was lost to the West, succeeding sultans became interested in Western institutional models. A short-lived parliament of 1876 was dissolved after a year by Abdülhamid II, but the forces of reform led to his deposition in 1909. The end of World War I saw İstanbul occupied by Allied troops as the victors procrastinated over how best to manage the rump of the once-great empire. After the War of Independence, Atatürk's declaration of the Republic in 1923 and the creation of a new capital in Ankara effectively solved the problem.
The population of Greater İstanbul has increased twelvefold since the establishment of the Turkish Republic, and stands today at around 15 million. This rapid urban growth has left the city with more than its fair share of problems, from horrendous traffic congestion to housing and water shortages and rising crime rates. A UNESCO threat to revoke the city's "World Heritage" status and place it on the "In Danger" list focused the minds of the government and local authorities on preserving the city's glorious heritage, and İstanbul emerged from its year as a European Capital of Culture in 2010 with great credit.
Much else has been done to improve the infrastructure of one of the world's leading cities. A government-backed housing scheme offers quality, affordable housing to low-income families in order, eventually, to replace the shanty-dwellings that have long ringed the suburbs. The gigantic Marmaray transport project will see the European and Asian sides of the city linked by a rail tunnel under the Bosphorus by 2015, and the metro systems either side of the Golden Horn should be linked by a (controversial) bridge around the same time. The Horn itself, once heavily polluted, has been cleaned up, and both anglers and cormorants can now be seen successfully fishing in its waters.Read More
City crimewatch
City crimewatch
İstanbul is undoubtedly far safer than most European or North American cities, and cases of mugging and assault against tourists are rare. Having said this, the crime rate is soaring, due in part to the increasing disparity between rich and poor.
For the average visitor, pickpocketing is the main cause for concern: be particularly careful around Sirkeci station, the Eminönü waterfront, the Galata Bridge, and around Taksim (especially at night). Also avoid being on or around the Byzantine land walls at dusk/night. Be very careful, too, on public transport, particularly when it is crowded. If you feel anyone is harassing or attempting to pickpocket you, try calling out imdat!, 'meaning "help!",' and contact the tourist police.
The Bosphorus Cruise
The Bosphorus Cruise
Taking a boat trip up the Bosphorus, from the bustling quays of Eminönü to the quiet fishing village of Anadolu Kavağı, is a highlight of any visit to İstanbul. The long Bosphorus Cruise, run by the Şehir Hatları company (t444 1851, wsehirhatlari.com.tr), leaves from the Boğaz Ferry Terminal just east of the Galata Bridge in Eminönü (daily: May–Oct 10.35am & 1.35pm, Nov–April 10.35am; one-way TL15, round-trip TL25).
In summer, especially at weekends, the queues to buy tickets can be very long, so allow at least half an hour, or, preferably, buy your ticket a day or two in advance. There are also often long queues to board, so late-comers end up sitting in the worst seats. The ferries are rather antiquated but comfortable enough, and you can buy snacks, sandwiches and drinks on board. The round trip, including a 2hr 30min lunch stop at Anadolu Kavağı, takes about seven hours.
The boat stops at Beşiktaş, Kanlıca (Asia), Yeniköy, Sariyer and Rumeli Kavağı (all Europe) and, finally, Anadolu Kavağı (Asia); the only stop on the return is Beşiktaş. You can leave the boat at any of the landings to explore the waterfront or hinterland, but most passengers do the return cruise. A shorter version is also available for TL10, departing from the same ferry terminal and covering the same distance with no stops (other than to pick up more passengers at Üsküdar). The tour takes around two hours, departing Eminönü at 2.30pm (April–Oct daily; Nov–March Sun & public holidays).
On Saturday nights only, between early June and mid-September, a night-time Mehtaplı cruise (TL20) makes an attractive alternative, with the great suspension bridges lit up like Christmas trees, and the lights of Asia and Europe twinkling on either side. The boat departs Eminönü at 7pm, reaching Anadolu Kavağı at 8.30pm, where it moors for dinner, before arriving back in Eminönü around midnight.
The private Turyol company also runs tours up the Bosphorus, as far as the Fatih bridge. Boats depart every hour on the hour on weekdays, more frequently at weekends, and the 1hr 30min round trip costs TL12.

Fever pitch
Fever pitch
İstanbul's three leading football teams Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray receive fanatical support – match times remain one of the few occasions when the city streets fall silent – and dominate the Turkish league. While there are sporadic outbreaks of football violence, the chances of a foreigner getting caught up in it are slim. There are two Turkish daily newspapers, Fotomaç and Fanatik, devoted almost entirely to the three İstanbul heavyweights, while matches (Aug–May) are staggered over each weekend in season so television coverage of the three doesn't clash.
(t0212 236 7202, whttp://www.bjk.com.tr) play at the most convenient and attractive ground of the three, Inönü Stadium on Kadırgalar Cad, between Taksim and Beşiktaş, opposite the Dolmabahçe Palace; walk down the hill, or take bus #23/B from Taksim Square or #30 from Sultanahmet or Eminönü.
the wealthiest club (t0216 449 5667, whttp://www.fenerbahce.org), play at the 52,000-capacity Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadyium on Bağdat Cad in Kızıltoprak on the Asian side of the Bosphorus; take a ferry to Kadıköy, then a dolmuş marked "Cadde Bostan".
(t 0212 251 5707, whttp://www.galatasaray.org.com) play at the Türkcell Arena Stadyumu in Aslantepe (Şişli); catchthe M2 metro from Taksim to Sanayı then the branch line to Seyrentepe.
are sold at the stadiums two days before a match. Regular fixtures cost from TL25. Tickets are also available online from Biletix (whttp://www.biletix.com) and Biletix outlets. For information in English see whttp://www.budgetairlinefootball.co.uk.
New hotels open in İstanbul on a seemingly daily basis, so it's nearly always possible to find a decent room with a modicum of advance planning – but bear in mind that spring and autumn are the busiest and most expensive times. For nightlife stay across the Golden Horn in Beyoğlu, while to be on the doorstep of the major historical sites base yourself in or around Sultanahmet. Virtually all but the most basic hotels have free wi-fi. Note that walk-in rack rates can often be unrealistically high, having been fixed in a busy season or for the benefit of tour companies, and many hotels will be happy to bargain. High season is mid-March to mid-November, and Christmas and New Year. Some establishments are a little cheaper in July and August, and most places offer discounts during the main low season, usually around fifteen to twenty percent.
İstanbul is home to Turkey's best restaurants, including several that lavish time and skill on old Ottoman cuisine, and, thanks to the lengthy coastline, fish is a firm menu favourite. Snacks are ubiquitous, with kebab stands, pastry shops, fast-food outlets and cafés across the city catering to locals, workers and tourists alike. Restaurants around tourist honey-pot Sultanahmet tend to be of poorer quality, and are more expensive than elsewhere in the city.
With such a youthful population, a booming economy and relentless Westernization, it is not surprising that İstanbul is establishing a major reputation for clubbing. The best bars and clubs are in Beyoğlu, Taksim, Ortaköy and the richer Bosphorus suburbs such as Kadıköy. For a more traditional night out, head to a meyhane (tavern), where a fasil band might accompany your food and bottle of rakı. Alternatively, try a Türkü bar, where you can drink and listen to the plaintive sounds of Anatolian folk music. Both meyhanes and Türkü bars are enjoying something of a revival of late, but if you want something more familiar there are countless café-bars and modern nightclubs as well.
Arts, entertainment and festivals
Arts, entertainment and festivals
İstanbul hosts a decent range of annual cultural festivals, and matches other European cities for the breadth of its arts scene. State-subsidized theatre, opera and ballet make performances affordable for all, and there's something going on almost every night at venues around the city. Music features heavily over the summer months, when international festivals draw musicians from all over the world.
Shopping in İstanbul is an experience. Whether or not it's a pleasant one depends on your ability to ignore the hustlers when you're not in the mood, and to bargain hard when you are. Don't miss the Grand Bazaar, a hive of over four thousand little shops. Equally interesting shopping districts scattered around the city include İstiklal Caddesi for clothes, Nişantaşı for upmarket international fashion; and the Spice Bazaar (Mısır Çarşısı) and its environs for spices and sweets. Out of the centre, shopping malls have taken off in a big way, good for homeware and clothes. The covered bazaar is credit-card friendly, as are all shops except the smallest of grocers (bakals) or kiosks.

Two lines of reasoning predict that highly social species will have mechanisms to influence behaviour towards individuals depending on their degree of relatedness. First, inclusive fitness theory (Hamilton, 1964) leads to the prediction that organisms will preferentially help closely-related kin over more distantly-related individuals. Second, evaluation of the relative costs and potential benefits of inbreeding suggests that the degree of kinship should also be considered when choosing a mate. In order to behaviourally discriminate between individuals with different levels of relatedness, organisms must be able to discriminate cues of kinship. Facial resemblance is one such potential cue in humans. Computer-graphic manipulation of face images has made it possible to experimentally test hypotheses about human kin recognition by facial phenotype matching. I show that humans respond to facial resemblance in ways consistent with inclusive fitness theory and considerations of the costs of inbreeding, namely by increasing prosocial behaviour and positive attributions toward self-resembling images and selectively tempering attributions of attractiveness to other-sex faces in the context of a sexual relationship. The four studies presented in this thesis use face images made to resemble either the experimental participants or unfamiliar people in order to test the impact of facial resemblance on behaviour and attributions. In Chapter 2, I demonstrated that people favour individuals represented by resembling faces in an economic game. In chapter 3, I tested the hypothesis that men, because of paternity uncertainty, should be more sensitive to phenotypic cues of relatedness to children than women should be. Although facial resemblance increased the attractiveness of and self-reported willingness to invest in pictured children, I found no evidence for a greater effect in men than women. To test whether responses to a kinship cue are sensitive to contexts in which the adaptive response should be different, I tested the perceived attractiveness of same-sex and other-sex self-similar faces in Chapter 4. Although self-resemblance increased the perceived "averageness" of male and female faces equally, self-resemblance increased the attractiveness of same-sex faces only. Additionally, in Chapter 5 I tested other-sex faces for trustworthiness, attractiveness in the context of a long-term relationship, and attractiveness in the context of a short-term relationship. Self-resemblance of other-sex faces increased attributions of trustworthiness, had no effect on attractiveness for a long-term relationship, and decreased attractiveness for a short-term relationship. The results of these four studies indicate that humans respond to self-resembling faces in ways that are consistent with facial resemblance being a cue of kinship. Nonadaptive hypothesis explaining these results as byproducts of general perceptual mechanisms were tested and not supported. Specifically, the finding that same-sex faces were perceived as no more average than other-sex faces was evidence against the hypothesis that separate mental representations of male and female faces could explain the increased attractiveness of same-sex self-resembling faces relative to other-sex selfresembling faces in Chapter 4. The opposite responses to an other-sex self-resembling face for judgments of trustworthiness versus judgments of attractiveness in the context of a short-term relationship in Chapter 5 provided evidence against the "mere familiarity" hypothesis whereby exposure globally increases liking. Consequently, responses to facial resemblance seem best interpreted as evidence of specialized adaptations to the problems of kin recognition in the domains of mate choice and prosocial behaviour.

I'm definitely an amateur when it comes to social work. It seems irrational to say for I find myself in the midst of mild to tragic situations of life on a regular base.
When my office phone or doorbell rings, very often it's a stranger looking for help in some sort of way. All too often though, I can't help them solve their dilemma, but I can generally steer them in a good direction to find the help they're seeking. I can't help but pour my heart into prayer for those who are dealing with all the victims of the Spring weather across the country. I deal with food and prescription meds and maybe helping with a water bill or two, but how does one deal with hundreds of families who have lost everything in a matter of minutes?
They woke up one morning in the midst of all their possessions, comfortable and content, only to find they had no place to rest at the end of the day. I see the need, yet I rationalize my affordable donation won't help much, my skepticism convinces me my donation will never reach those who need it and my self-preservation whispers to me I should hang on to my donation for I may be the one in need tomorrow. What an overwhelming web of uncertainty we live in.
A man and his wife are in bed when there is knocking on the door. He rolls over and looks at the clock -- 3:30 a.m. I'm not getting out of bed at this time he thinks, and rolls over. Then, there was a louder knock. "Aren't you going to see who it is?" asked his wife. So, he gets dressed, drags himself to the door, finding a man quietly standing there. It doesn't take long to figure out the man is drunk. "Hi, there", slurs the stranger. "Can you give me a push?" "No! Get lost! It's half past three and I'm in bed!" says the man and slams the door. He goes back to bed and tells his wife what happened.
"That wasn't very nice of you", said the wife. "Remember the rainy night we broke down with a carload of kids and you had to knock on a stranger's door for help? What would have happened if he told us to get lost?"
"But the guy is drunk!" says the husband. "It doesn't matter", says the wife. "He needs our help and it would be the Christian thing to help him the best we can." So the man gets out of bed again and gets dressed to go help the stranger. He opens the door and not being able to see the man in need he shouts, "Hey! Do you still need a push?" From somewhere in the night darkness he hears, "Yes, please!" The man looks around and not seeing the stranger shouts, "Where are you?" A voice returned from the darkness, "I'm over here, on your swing."
[Revelation 3:19-20] Jesus tells a story of a man awaken by a knock on the door (Luke 11:5-8). It was a friend looking for bread to feed another friend who has stopped by while on a journey. "...I tell you, though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is a friend, yet because of the man's boldness he will get up and give him as much as he needs."
It does take boldness to ask when you've never had to ask for help before. I've had to do it, and it hurts. Do we have a problem with God because we lack boldness? Physically we are willing to do whatever it takes to get what we want or need. Spiritually we seem timid and lost as what to do (James 4:1-3). John says that we can approach God with confidence, knowing that what we ask for is heard by God and he will answer (1 John 5:14-15). A stranger may slam the door in your face, but a friend will always do what he can. Are you a friend of God? Jesus said, "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock." Invite Him in. Get to know Him. He wants to help in your time of need.

Tournament Rules
o Finals: The finals will be set up and observed by an Admins and possibly other members of the Infinity Gaming Community (Admins may decline to enforce this rule)
o Size: Upon the discretion of the Admins and height of demand, this tournaments size may increase or decrease.
o Timeouts: A player may call a timeout during a game if needed, but if they do not return within a reasonable amount of time without properly informing the other player, the player waiting will be awarded with an automatic match win.
o Cheating: If a player is found to be cheating (mineral or map hacks, watching the stream, using a smurf account, etc.), they will be banned from future tournaments and disqualified from this tournament. Things such as abusing known bugs will also result in short-term bans. Multiple offenses will lead to permanent bans.
o Disappearing/AFK: If for some reason a player doesn't show up to play in the first round he/she will be disqualified from that tournament. Time restraints are as follows: Once a round officially starts (or the bracket goes up), a player has 10 minutes before he/she forfeits the match. If the round is a best of three the player has another 10 minutes before he/she forfeits the series. Obviously we're willing to be reasonable for actual serious problems, but just disappearing with no warning, or refusing to play, is pretty bad manner and we don't like it. If someone must leave, the player they defeated in the previous round will be given the opportunity to play in their place.
o Conduct: Excessive bad manners (BM) such as noob bashing, hardcore raging, or racial slurs, etc is grounds for removal from the tournament.
o Rulings: All rules and guidelines are subject to change without notice at the discretion of an admin or tournament host.
o Streaming: Streaming is only allowed if both players agree and/or an Admin wishes to cast the match. All live streams are to have delay to prevent stream sniping.

Tucked back on a park-like, five-plus-acre lot on one of the suburb's oldest streets, this grand estate is on the market for only the second time. Edwin and Luella Stearns (of the Stearns & Foster mattress company family) had Elsner & Anderson design this spacious home in the early 1900s. The couple, it seems, needed room to house their favorite instrument: a built-in organ with three keyboards, its own engine, 40-plus gleaming pipes, and a basement room full of bellows (all of which are still there but in need of resuscitation today). Stories about the Oliver Road property, which stayed in the Stearns family until 2002, have become the stuff of Wyoming legend: on Christmas morning, the family used to throw open the home's windows and play Christmas music on the organ loud enough for most of Wyoming to hear. Tom and Kay Landers are the first non-Stearns family members to own the house. They have renovated the kitchen, repaired and replaced much of the tile roof, updated the home's electric and plumbing, and renovated the carriage house. They've also shared the home on many neighborhood tours and happily shown off its quirky features, like a laundry room that can only be accessed from the home's exterior, the kitchen's original warming drawers and icebox, and an ultra-thin secret door cut into the master bedroom wall. It's not clear why the family needed a hidden door, but that's just one of the secrets a house like this can keep.

Flower Children
Saul Bellow's Mr. Sammler's Planet is a document of the cravings of 1960s America, and an attempt to bring the Holocaust to bear on America
The apocalypse that Sammler foresees is not nuclear, as we might expect, nor does he fear the return of fascism and genocide. Indeed, for a man who survived the Holocaust, Sammler seems very little interested in social and political questions. The disaster he sees unfolding around him is, instead, spiritual, moral, and above all sexual. And here the usefulness of Sammler as Bellow's protagonist starts to become clear. To issue jeremiads one needs an unchallengeable, Old Testament kind of authority; and over the course of the novel, Sammler, despite his bohemian, freethinking ways, becomes an embodiment of Jewish patriarchal sternness.
Any reader of Bellow's biography knows that he was not an abstemious man. Whatever may have been the case for Philip Larkin, for Bellow sexual intercourse certainly did not begin in 1963. Yet something about the let-it-all-hang-out spirit of the 1960s provoked a profoundly hostile and frightened response in him. You can see it, in Mr. Sammler's Planet, in the character of Angela Gruner, a rich, beautiful, and promiscuous young woman whose sexuality is offensively ripe: "In Angela you confronted sensual womanhood without remission. You smelled it, too." That comment on sexual smell is, on the one hand, typically Bellovian, an example of the richness and equanimity of his perceptions. In this context, however, it is also rather nasty, since it is meant to suggest the slovenliness and animality of the sexually liberated woman. Indeed, Angela's sexual escapades seem to Sammler to embody the spirit of the age:
Listening to Angela carefully, Sammler perceived different developments. The labor of Puritanism now was ending. The dark satanic mills changing into light satanic mills. The reprobates converted into children of joy, the sexual ways of the seraglio and of the Congo bush adopted by the emancipated masses of New York, Amsterdam, London.
The novel's vengefulness toward Angela is expressed in the way it contrives her collision with her father, the dying Elya. Angela has a steady boyfriend whom she hopes to marry, Wharton Horricker (one of the most wonderful of all Bellow's Dickensian namings). But while on vacation with him in Mexico, she engages in partner-swapping with a couple they just met, and though Horricker participates, he becomes extremely jealous. News of this incident somehow makes its way back to Elya, and he expresses his loathing for his daughter in terms that sound like a deathbed curse: "You see a woman who has done it in too many ways with too many men. By now she probably doesn't know the name of the man between her legs. And she looks … Her eyes—she has fucked-out eyes."
This is the way the '60s end, with a bang and also a whimper. It is hard not to be reminded of The Merchant of Venice, with Angela playing the role of the ungrateful daughter Jessica, and Elya as the embittered Shylock. This resonance is all the clearer because, Sammler insists, Angela's sex life is a transgression against specifically Jewish moral instincts:
Sammler had known Angela's grandparents. They had been Orthodox. This gave a queer edge to his acquaintance with her paganism. Somewhere he doubted the fitness of these Jews for this erotic Roman voodoo primitivism. He questioned whether release from long Jewish mental discipline, hereditary training in lawful control, was obtainable upon individual application.
Sexual incontinence, depending on Bellow's choice of metaphor, can be Eastern or African or even Roman, but never Jewish. Unfortunately, and notoriously, he chooses in Mr. Sammler's Planet to make it quite specifically African, and African-American. "From the black side, strong currents were sweeping over everyone. … Millions of civilized people wanted oceanic, boundless, primitive, neck-free nobility, experienced a strange release of galloping impulses, and acquired the peculiar aim of sexual niggerhood for everyone," Bellow writes.
In these lines the rhetorical mechanism of racism is laid bare in extraordinarily crude terms. When a group of people are turned into a symbol of certain ideas or emotions, they can no longer be seen as individual human beings; they are condemned to be bearers of abstractions, synecdoches for vice. This is precisely what happens with the only black character in the novel, a pickpocket who notices Sammler observing him at work on the Broadway bus. To intimidate Sammler, the man corners him in the lobby of his apartment building and exposes himself:
He no more spoke than a puma would. What he did was to force Sammler into a corner. … The pickpocket unbuttoned himself. Sammler heard the zipper descend. Then the smoked glasses were removed from Sammler's face and dropped on the table. He was directed, silently, to look downward. The black man had opened his fly and taken out his penis. It was displayed to Sammler with great oval testicles, a large tan-and-purple uncircumcised thing—a tube, a snake.
Bellow's language insists on the animalization of the man, which of course means his dehumanization. It is especially disastrous that this should take place in a novel that is partly about the Holocaust, because exactly this technique was used by anti-Semites to demonize Jews. To the Nazis, it was the Jews who were instinctively licentious, who were emblems of "sexual Jewhood." But instead of drawing the conclusion that this sort of racism is inherently false and cruel, Bellow simply reverses the polarities: The pickpocket's bestiality is meant to stand in obvious contrast with Sammler's Jewish, civilized impotence. One of the key scenes of the novel, loosely based on something that really happened to Bellow, comes when Sammler delivers a lecture at Columbia and gets interrupted by a militant heckler, who shouts, "Why do you listen to this effete old shit? What has he got to tell you? His balls are dry. He's dead. He can't come."
Here again surfaces the structural problem of Mr. Sammler's Planet, the fact that what Bellow is criticizing in the 1960s—the topsy-turvy elevation of youth over age, energy over wisdom—really has nothing to do with what Sammler experienced in the 1940s. As an American Jewish novelist, Bellow tries hard to seek a point of imaginative contact with the Holocaust, but the concerns of the present overshadow the realities of the past. Indeed, one feels that a man with Sammler's experiences would not condemn the American present in quite such absolute terms. At the intersection of Broadway and 96th Street, for instance, Sammler feels that the dismal scene seems to say "that the final truth about mankind was overwhelming and crushing": But surely a man who was buried alive under the corpse of his wife would not need Broadway and 96th Street to enforce such a feeling.
Conversely, the sublime spiritual aspirations that Bellow voices in the novel also seem unrelated to what Sammler went through in the Holocaust. One of the book's central concerns, alluded to in the title, is the prospect of mankind leaving planet Earth behind to strike out for a new existence on the moon. To Sammler, this prospect is appealing, not because the Earth has been befouled by the Holocaust, but because it is sultry with the sex cravings of the 1960s. He imagines life on the moon as "necessarily austere, drinking the fossil waters, considering basic questions only."
This encounter with the cosmic is absolutely convincing on Bellovian terms, but it makes little sense on Sammlerian ones. Mr. Sammler's Planet is a novel utterly faithful to its moment, above all perhaps in the way it is morally disoriented by that moment: It is both a portrait of confusion and a document of it. By viewing that confusion through Sammler's eyes, Bellow tries to lay claim to an essentially Jewish response to it, a response born of the ordeal of the Holocaust. Surely, he seems to say, a people that has so recently undergone such a tragedy must be inoculated against the unseriousness and insobriety of the '60s. Jews should be Sammlers. That they aren't—remember that Portnoy's Complaint was published in the year that Mr. Sammler's Planet takes place—is in its way a hopeful sign. A people capable of folly and illusion is one still in love with this world—as Bellow himself incurably was, despite the testimony of this wounded book.

Since his contract with WWE has now officially ended, rumors about Jim Ross and his future in professional wrestling have started heating up again. Since the longtime commentator does not want to replace Taz or Mike Tenay in TNA, much of the speculations has been geared towards him joining up with Jeff Jarrett in Global Force Wrestling. Interest within the industry towards the new promotion has grown since Jarrett has been able to secure several deals across the globe.
July 29, 2014
When he made his Impact Wrestling debut last night, Mike Tenay called MVP by that name, which led to speculations as to whether or not TNA will be using that as a permanent moniker. It now appears that the company will be using that name, as he used it during a promo taped for next week.
January 31, 2014
TNA produced a highly entertaining funeral segment for Aces and Eights, who were forced to split up after Bully Ray was defeated by Mr Anderson at Turning Point.
November 29, 2013
"....and I'm STILL NOT buying TNA nor would I ever want to affect the team of Mike Tenay and Taz. They have great chemistry and as I have said before they do a great job with what is provided them on their monitor."

How safe are energy drinks?18 09 2013
Hi all,
Welcome back to the 5/6 classroom blog. This post is all about energy drinks, something that is becoming more and more popular, but how safe are they? The companies that produce these products seem to think that energy drinks are perfectly safe and when consumed, offer the benefits of improved energy levels and mental alertness. So today I would like to see what you think, Behind the News has just ran a story that looks at some of the controversy that is currently surrounding these drinks.
1. First, with a friend or the person next to you, quietly discuss whether you drink energy drinks and if you think that they're safe for young people.
2. Now watch the video over at Behind the News (by clicking on the link: Behind The News)
3. Following that, answer the series of questions on the sheet provided.
4. Have another quiet discussion with the person next to you about whether your opinion has changed since watching the video.
5. Finally log in at the top right and post a comment (by clicking on the comment button below the post on the main site). Please make your comments about whether or not you think energy drinks are safe and whether young people should be consuming them, back your opinion up with why.
Extension activity – Explore some of the other related articles on the right side of the Behind the News video or look at some other interesting stories on BTN.

Depending on your particular leaning as a genre fan, you'll likely find this to be either amazing or completely sacreligious, but the developers of "Super Scribblenauts" have decided to show off their latest innovative mechanic using Cthulhu, H.P. Lovecraft's signature monstrosity.
Do you need some more Patrick Batman in your life? Well then, you're in luck. It appears that "American Psycho" is becoming a musical. Let's hope there's ample time for Bateman's snappy impression of "Huey Lewis and the News".
There's more teen oriented horror coming to The CW, this time in a new show entitled Betwixt. They've done monster hunters and other various supernatural things, this time we're facing changeling's charged with saving humanity! I feel safer already.
On February 16th, you'll be able to take your horror with you on the crapper. South Peak games will be releasing "Dementium II", a survival horror FPS for the Nintendo DS. At least in this format when it scares the shit out of you, you'll already be in position.
Vampires are the hot commodity right now and as such, we may soon be seeing the return of Dracula himself. Producers are readying "The Last Voyage of the Demeter", a prequel story centered on the count and his voyage over seas to England.
A 15 year old girl with no vagina delivers a healthy baby boy leading locals to speculate an immaculate conception. Before the thoughts of the second coming or pregnancy from oral sex sets in, be sure to read about the girl's abdominal stab wounds and her resulting treatment.
The Netherlands have passed new legislation ruling that sex with animals as well as bestiality pornography is now illegal. Disturbing fact #1: bestiality was legal in the Netherlands up until now as long as it could be proven that the animal was not injured. Disturbing fact #2: bestiality is so rampant that they had to pass legislation to prevent it.
1959 - The Day the Music Died: A small plane carrying The Big Bopper (J.P. Richardson), Buddy Holly, and Richie Valens crashes near Mason City, Iowa
Though I tend to ignore the seemingly kiddish Nintendo DS, I occasionally stumble upon a little gem that makes me long for the days where I was playing "Super Mario Land 2" on my Game Boy (the BIG one) with the volume turned down in church. Last month at E3, players got their first taste of "Scribblenauts," an upcoming puzzle action game from 5th Cell and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. While on the surface it appears to be nothing more than a kid's toy, what lies beneath the surface is the making of a really, really cool game.
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

Hack Helps You Think Twice Before Stealing Tunes
Do you have an aching urge to check out the new Drake/Adele/Album That Tons Of People Like? Well, step away from that Torrent, because there's an app out there that will show you where to get it — without the threat of jail time.
Legalize It! is a simple web app created at Music Hack Day Barcelona that displays an array of highly pirated albums, and then links out to Spotify where users can listen for free — legally.
The app available on the Web is more stripped down than the Spotify app conceptualized by hacker Ben Fields during the hack day. While the Web version pulls in Bittorrent data via Musicmetric's API and links out to Spotify — making it a mere catalogue of top-torrented songs — the Spotify app would live within the music subscription service and tap into music intelligence The Echo Nest's API for playlisting purposes and greater music exploration. Right now, however, that idea is just that — an idea. Take a look at the above screenshot for a taste of what Fields has in mind.
Legalize It! isn't the first hack that Fields has created that turns music piracy on its head. He's also the creator of Tourrent Plans, which helps bands plan tours based on where their music is stolen the most.

According to Astronomy.com, the Perseid Meteor shower has some added bonuses this year It will occur on a night when the moon is in its waning crescent phase, which means the moonlight won't interfere with your view of the dashing meteors, and it's on a Saturday night, which means viewers can stay up late and sleep in the next day.
You don't even need a telescope. Just spread out a blanket, maybe a late-night picnic, lay back and enjoy!
Perseid Meteor Trivia:
- These meteors travel 37 miles per second!
- The best time to view will be 2 a.m. on Aug. 12.
- The weather in Fairfield-Suisun so far, is predicted to be clear, so you should have a good view.
- The Perseid Meteors are cast-offs of the Swift-Tuttle comet, according to Space.com.
- The shower began on July 23 and will peak the night of Aug. 11-12.
- Look toward the Perseus constellation, which forms an inverted "Y" shape and is in the northeast.
- Some of the meteoroids are as small as a grain of sand, but they have the kinetic energy of a nuclear bomb!
- If you see a very slow, bright object sailing across the sky, it's either a satellite or a Space Station.
Where to view:
- You don't need a telescope to view this celestial event, so just head out to a dark spot.
- Away from city lights, so the further you get from town, the better your view will be.
If you snap a great photo of the shower, upload it to our Pics and Clips!

The St. Joseph County Prosecuting Attorney has issued a statement saying no charges will be filed in regards to the death and sexual assault allegations of Saint Mary's College student Elizabeth Seeberg.
The announcement comes the same day that Seeberg's parents broke their silence on the matter. In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Tom and Mary Seeberg say Notre Dame's handling of the investigation and related communication with the family "feels like a betrayal."
The Seebergs told the Tribune they had questions about the investigation and the release of related information, and described what they say are Elizaebth's text messages and documents.
The prosecutor's announcement was sent out Thursday shortly before 1:00pm. When FOX28 News called for comment about the article that morning, we were told the case was still under investigation and the prosecutor had no comment.
A Saint Mary's College spokeswoman had no additional comment Thursday morning, citing privacy policies at the school.
In response to the prosecutor's decision, Notre Dame University issued the following statement: "Notre Dame takes allegations about potential violations of the law or university policy very seriously and that's exactly why we have such a thorough process in place to pursue the facts and make determinations about right and wrong. The prosecutor also has a process in place in which he knows all of the facts. He has made a decision and issued a statement that speaks for itself. As always, we will continue to adhere to our own internal processes."
