Jim Abbott on Florida Travel
Postcards from Florida
April 30, 2011
A coast-to-coast conga line sounds like something out of the imaginations of the Guinness folks, but it's just another weekend diversion in the Florida Keys.
The happy processional will step off on May 27 along the mile-long Duval Street in Key West, where it's not such a feat of endurance to march from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. The event is part of the kickoff of the Cuban American Heritage Festival, an event that commemorates the rich Cuban heritage of Key West, just 90 miles away from Cuba's shoreline.
Key West was the site of a flourishing cigar industry in the mid to late 1800s, when the island city welcomed thousands of Cuban immigrants seeking greater personal and political freedom.
Led by the Comparsa Key West dance troupe, the conga line begins at 8 p.m. on its trek along Duval from the ocean to the gulf. The public is invited to join the parade.
On May 28, the festival continues at El Meson de Pepe (410 Wall St. at Mallory Square) with a dinner that recognizes Key West's cigar-making legacy. The restaurant's decor includes large-scale artwork reproduced from pieces by renowned Cuban-American folk artist Mario Sanchez.
Cost of the dinner is $75 per person. For reservations, call Jose Diaz at 305-360-0738.
Visit cubanfest.com for more information.
The Cuban American fest isn't the only big event headed to the Keys in coming months. You can find a complete list at OrlandoSentinel.com/postcards, but here are a few highlights:
•Key West Bacchanalia (June 9-12): Keys celebrity chefs face off in a culinary competition in a benefit event that supports breast-cancer research. (keywestbacchanalia.com; 305-766-3356)
•Underwater Music Festival in Big Pine & the Lower Keys (July 9): A quirky concert is broadcast underwater for divers to put a spotlight on reef preservation. (lowerkeyschamber.com; 305-872-2411)
•Mel Fisher Days, Key West (July 14-17): Treasure hunters mark the anniversary of the discovery of a shipwrecked Spanish galleon. (melfisher.com; 305-296-6534).

The planner: Shoshana Davis, 24, New York City
One small change Mapping out meals
The big payoff Dropped 130 pounds in a year and found the spotlight
How she did it Davis attempted dozens of diets before finding the one simple technique that worked for her: plotting out her bites. "It wasn't easy at first—it took time to get used to thinking ahead about every meal and snack—but I'm much less likely to make poor food choices when I've put a plan in motion," Davis says. "If I know I'm meeting my friends for Chinese, I'll look at the menu and decide which healthy dish I want in advance." Davis, who now weighs 170 pounds, has also seen huge gains in her self-image. "My quality of life has improved so much. I was always the 'fat' friend and the 'big' girl. Now I climb the stairs without getting winded and buy clothes at any store, and I recently signed up for an improv class. It's something I never would have done when I was heavier," she says.
Why it worked cheduling your meals is akin to backing up your PC: You know you should, yet it seems so laborious; but you put in the time because the alternatives (a computer crash, a scale that won't budge) are costly. "When your diet has you going around in circles, thinking ahead is like a road map, locking you into a successful game plan," says Suzanne Farrell, R.D., a spokeswoman in Denver for the American Dietetic Association.
Do it yourself! Use the SELF Challenge shopping list, then hit the grocery store to stock up. Planning your meals and snacks keeps you on track, so junk won't tempt you.
The whole grainiac: Elaine Heinzman, 33, Washington, D.C.
One small change Eliminating white carbs
The big payoff Went down two sizes and got clear, glowing skin
How she did it Inspired by a health-conscious friend, Heinzman swapped processed carbohydrates such as white bread, cookies and pasta for whole grains. "I still nibble on bread and occasionally order white pasta when I go out to eat, but I don't keep those foods in the house," she says. In addition to dropping two pants sizes over the course of a year, Heinzman sees a surprise benefit every morning in the mirror: a smoother, healthier complexion. "I have oily skin and developed acne as an adult, but once I gave up processed carbs, my face started to clear up."
Why it worked "The body digests whole grains slowly, so they help maintain steady blood sugar levels, staving off cravings," says Mary Lee Chin, R.D., of Denver. At the same time, ousting white carbs can encourage your body to shed water weight, which is why Heinzman experienced such immediate results—a great motivator. Balanced blood sugar may also be the reason for Heinzman's improved complexion. When 43 acne-afflicted people removed refined carbs from their diet, nearly half saw 50 percent fewer blemishes after three months, a study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports. Researchers suspect this is because the insulin your body produces in response to high blood sugar may encourage the cells in your oil ducts to multiply, causing blockages and breakouts.

Leon Wieseltier, the longtime literary editor of the New Republic, is a noted writer on politics, religion, and culture. Although frequently characterized as a liberal intellectual, Wieseltier's views on foreign policy—especially with respect to Israel and the Middle East—often veer toward the hawkish right. Wieseltier does not consider himself a neoconservative, but he has supported the work of various neoconservative-led advocacy groups, including the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) and the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq.
Wieseltier, who once described the New Republic as "the cops" policing beltway discourse on Israel,[1] is well known for using his media perch to issue controversial diatribes against critics of Israel and excoriate the purported weakness of liberals. One notorious early attack was Wieseltier's review of Edward Said's book Orientalism, a highly regarded opus on Western study of the East, which appeared in the New Republic in 1979. Wieseltier called Said's analysis "little more than the abject canards of Arab propaganda."[2] On other occasions, he has disparaged critics of Israel like conservative blogger Andrew Sullivan as "Jew baiters."
On the other hand, Wieseltier favors the establishment of a Palestinian state in order to preserve Israel as a Jewish democracy. To this end, he has become increasingly outspoken in his own criticism of the Israeli government for its apparent hostility to Palestinian statehood. After accepting a prestigious literary prize in Tel Aviv in June 2013, Wieseltier told an interviewer, "Unless there is a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, there will not be a Jewish state for very long. … One of the most shameful aspects of the Netanyahu government has been to succeed in taking the Palestinian question off the table."[3]
Wieseltier elaborated on these views in a December 2012 essay for The New Republic, despairing that "I no longer believe that peace between Israelis and Palestinians will occur in my lifetime." Although he placed some blame on "the Palestinians and their inability to recognize the historical grandeur of compromise," Wieseltier also excoriated Netanyahu for allying himself with "anti-democratic maniacs" like former Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, dampening prospects for a negotiated peace. "People assure me that all this can change if there is the political will to change it," he concluded, "but I do not detect the political will. So what if the two-state solution is the only solution, when nobody is desperate to solve the problem?"[4]
Obama Administration
An avowed interventionist, Wieseltier has written that he "regard[s] America's influence as generally a blessing for the world" and criticized the Obama administration for what he considers its "light-footprint" approach toward foreign conflicts.[5]
Wieseltier particularly lamented Obama's appointment of Chuck Hagel—a former Republican senator and Vietnam veteran whose skeptical approach to U.S. overseas intervention has been praised by many realist foreign affairs analysts—to head the Department of Defense. "The most egregious aspect of the celebration of Hagel is the belief that his Purple Hearts validate his withdrawalist inclinations," Wieseltier complained, citing "Hagel's optimism about diplomacy with Iran and Hamas, his opposition to sanctions, [and] his recoil from humanitarian interventions" as key grievances. "We have elected to wane," he concluded. "One day history will surprise us, and shame on us for being surprised."[6]
Wieseltier has also been a vocal critic of the Barack Obama administration's response to the uprisings of the "Arab Spring." During a New Republic symposium in February 2012, Wieseltier argued that the administration had adopted a double standard in its various responses to the social turmoil in the region. "How can the president dine out on Libya if he is not prepared to do the same for Syria? Assad is perpetrating in Homs, Hama, Dara'a, and elsewhere what Qaddafi only threatened to perpetrate in Benghazi." Arguing that an important "strategic prize" that could result from Assad's downfall was the weakening of Iran's regional position, Wieseltier said that Washington "should aid and arm the Free Syrian Army."[7]
In opposition to observers who warned that U.S. intervention could worsen the conflict, Wieseltier retorted in May 2013 that "we often engage with what we cannot master. No outcomes are assured, except perhaps when we do nothing. We do not need to control the realm in which we need to take action; we need only to have strong and defensible reasons and strong and defensible means, and to keep our wits, our analytical abilities, about us."[8]
Earlier, in January 2011, Wieseltier attacked the Obama administration's approach to the revolution in Egypt. Ignoring decades of U.S. policymaking in the region as well as the unhappy legacy of neoconservative-inspired "democracy" projects, Wieseltier wrote that "the bizarre irony of Obama's global multiculturalism is that it has had the effect of aligning America with regimes and against peoples." He also excoriated "liberals" for their "wholesale repudiation of Bush's foreign policy includ[ing] the rejection of anything resembling his 'freedom agenda,'" and claimed that President Obama's multiculturalism amounted to little more than an "acceptance agenda." He added, "[W]hatever one's views of the Iraq war, it really does not seem too much to ask of American liberals that they think a little less crudely about democratization—not only about its moral significance but also about its strategic significance."[9]
Bush Administration
Though often a critic of the George W. Bush administration, Wieseltier endorsed many of the Bush administration's goals in the Middle East. He was a signatory to a Project for the New American Century letter to Bush that laid out an aggressive series of proposed interventions as part of the "war on terror" just nine days after the 9/11 attacks. The letter named three key targets: Osama bin Laden, Hezbollah, and Iraq, stating that even if Baghdad was found not to be involved in the attacks, the war "must include a determined effort to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq." In 2002, Wieseltier signed on as a member of the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, an organization set up to push for the invasion.
Although Wieseltier eventually expressed regret over his initial support for the war, he continued to support it. In a signed editorial for the New Republic, Wieseltier wrote that "an absence of regrets and recrimination on the part of a supporter of this war now amounts to an absence of intellectual honesty" because there were no weapons of mass destruction. Like many of the war's initial boosters, Wieseltier also took exception to the way the war was conducted, writing in the same editorial that he had "come to despise some of the people who are directing it."[10]
In a March 2013 New Republic feature on the Iraq War's 10th anniversary, Wieseltier conceded that Iraq war boosters who believed that Saddam Hussein "possessed weapons of mass destruction must forever ponder the fact that he did not possess them." However, he added, "I hope that we do not blind ourselves to the extraordinary changes that have taken place there, and to the possibility of a decent outcome. It is an outcome upon which we might have had an influence." Accusing the Obama administration of saying "goodbye and good luck" to Iraq, Wieseltier pleaded for prolonged U.S. engagement in the country, asserting that "the compromised origins of the Iraq war are not all, or even most, of what we need to know about Iraq now. Cursing George W. Bush is not a strategy. The region is convulsing, and we are pivoting."[11]
A longtime friend of Wieseltier is I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, the former chief of staff for Vice President Dick Cheney who was convicted on charges of lying, perjury, and obstruction of justice in the Valerie Plame affair. Before Libby was sentenced, the judge reviewed letters from nearly 200 writers, including one from Wieseltier, who wrote, "I am in no sense a neoconservative, as many of my neoconservative adversaries will attest. I am, to the contrary, the kind of liberal who many neoconservatives like to despise, and that's fine with me." Wieseltier explained his stance later, writing, "Generally, I detest this White House for many reasons and I think Scooter is a kind of state-of-the-art fall guy in this particular plot."[12]
On Criticizing Israel and "Anti-Semitism"
In February 2010, Wieseltier attacked popular conservative blogger Andrew Sullivan, hinting that Sullivan's writings were anti-Semitic—despite categorically rejecting that Sullivan was anti-Semitic during an earlier dispute with his former New Republic colleague.[13] Wieseltier's 2010 accusation centered on the claim that Sullivan reveals anti-Semitic tendencies in his criticism of Israeli policies toward Palestinians (in particular, the 2009 attack on Gaza), as well as in his disparaging assessments of certain American Jews (in particular, those associated with neoconservatism, or "the [Michael] Goldfarb-[Charles] Krauthammer wing" of the U.S. Jewish community).
Wrote Wieseltier: "The explanation that Sullivan adopts for almost everything that he does not like about America's foreign policy, and America's wars, and America's role in the world—that it is all the result of the clandestine and cunningly organized power of a single and small ethnic group—has a provenance that should disgust all thinking people. And this is not all that is disgusting about Sullivan's approach. His assumption, in his outburst about 'the Goldfarb-Krauthammer wing,' that every thought that a Jew thinks is a Jewish thought is an anti-Semitic assumption, and a rather classical one."[14]
Journalist Glenn Greenwald described Wieseltier's diatribe as "an amazingly ugly, reckless, and at-times-deranged screed." He added, "So shabby and incoherent are Wieseltier's accusations that they merit little real refutation, and I hope Andrew will resist the (understandable) temptation to elevate and dignify them by lavishing them with lengthy self-defenses."[15]
Another writer, Daniel Luban, argued that Wieseltier's invective did merit assessment in that it reveals how far the discourse in Washington has shifted with respect to U.S. policy on Israel, in part due to the tendency of "pro-Israel" hardliners to make "frivolous" accusations about anti-Semitism whenever anyone criticizes Israeli policies.
Luban wrote: "The obvious absurdity of these charges has caused many observers to go back and reevaluate the entire way that the charge has been used in the past—and has only confirmed the impression that it is all-too-frequently used to stifle all dissent from Israeli policies. The result is that the tacit framework governing 'responsible' criticism of Israel is breaking down. … Wieseltier's attack on Sullivan appears motivated not by any actual belief that the latter is an anti-Semite, but by rage that he has violated these tacit rules—that a gentile dares offer unapologetic criticism of Israeli policies. More than that, we can detect in Wieseltier's piece a deep sense of panic that this framework of 'responsible' criticism is breaking down. The attack is quite obviously an attempt to intimidate Sullivan into ceasing all criticism; I join many others in hoping that Sullivan sticks to his guns."[16]
Wieseltier has a long history of haranguing people who point to the influence of the "Israel Lobby" on U.S. foreign policy. He has written particularly venomous critiques against well-known scholars—including Tony Judt, Steve Walt, and John Mearsheimer—who have taken on this subject. When a scheduled talk by Judt in October 2006 at the Polish Consulate in New York was cancelled after the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee complained, Wieseltier wrote in the Washington Diarist in October 2006:
"The more significant point is that what Judt was prevented from delivering at the Polish consulate was a conspiracy theory about the pernicious role of the Jews in the world. That is what the idea of 'the Lobby' is. It is Mel Gibson's analysis of the Iraq war. It is not just an analysis of the impact of AIPAC [American Israel Public Affairs Committee] on particular resolutions and policies: such an analysis requires a detailed knowledge of American government, specifically of Congress, that I suspect Judt does not possess and that his fellow heroes Mearsheimer and Walt have been shown to lack. It is a larger claim, a historical claim, a claim about a sinister causality, about the power of a small group to control the destiny of a large group. And it is a claim with a sordid history."[17]
As a child, Wieseltier attended the Yeshiva of Flatbush, an ultra-Orthodox school in Brooklyn, where he was a classmate of fellow "pro-Israel" hawk Dennis Prager. He later attended Columbia and Oxford Universities before pursuing a doctorate in Jewish studies at Harvard. On the strength of work for the New York Review of Books written concurrently with his studies, he was lured away from academia by an offer from Martin Peretz, the publisher of the New Republic.[18]
Wieseltier's books include Kaddish (1998), Against Identity (1996), and Nuclear War, Nuclear Peace (1983).

Use the Arrow Keys or hover over the Buttons above. View Video
Rolling Hitch TyingPass the end around the main (red) rope to make a Half Hitch. Continue around going over the first turn. Tuck the rope between the standing end and the first turn. Tighten to make it secure (this introduces a slight dog-leg in the main rope). Continue around to add a final Half Hitch.
Rolling Hitch and Midshipman's Hitch Details
Description: The Rolling Hitch Ashley Version 2 (ABOK # 1735, p 298) attaches a rope (usually smaller) to another (usually larger) when the line of pull is almost parallel. To attach a rope to a pole see Version 1 below.
Naming: Richard Dana published The Seaman's Friend in 1841 and applied the name Rolling Hitch as we use it today. Until then it was known as the Magnus Hitch or Magner's Hitch; and the name Rolling Hitch had been applied to the Round Turn and Two Half Hitches. Dana's nomenclature was adopted by subsequent authors including Ashley who applied the name Magnus Hitch to the variation of the Rolling Hitch in which the final half hitch us passed around the standing end in the reverse direction and "tends to obviate torsion or twisting" (ABOK # 1736, p 298).
Caution: Some modern ropes are very slippery, e.g., Spectra®, Dyneema®, and Polypropylene. A Rolling Hitch will not hold at all in such materials.
Critical Details: The animation correctly shows that the blue rope is parallel to the red. The "pull" MUST be in line with the main rope (or the pole). If the tension is away from the standing rope or pole, this knot is likely to fail.
Awning Hitch:The value of 'tucking in' turn two inside the first turn can be shown by tying the knot with and without this tuck. As soon as the 'tuck' is made the knot is stable as an "Awning Hitch" (, ABOK # 1798, p 304). Without this tucked turn, the first part of the knot has no 'structure' and the first two turns just slide along. The tucked turn forces a slight kink into the main rope which contributes to the secure grip.
Version 1: However, to secure a rope to a parallel pole, use Ashley's Version 1 (ABOK # 1734, p 298). There is no "tucked second turn". Both of the first two turns are just wound on tightly beside each other. Version 1 grips well on poles and bars but is less secure than Version 2 on rope.
Midshipman's, Taut-Line, and Rolling Hitches: A Midshipman's Hitch (ABOK # 1729, p 296) is created when a rope goes around an object and is then tied back to itself with a Rolling Hitch Version 2 – the version better for rope. This became known as a Taut-Line Hitch and was taught exactly this way in early versions of the Boy Scouts of America Handbooks. Unfortunately, a change was made and Version 1 was substituted – the version better for a pole. So now the "Taut-Line" Hitch being taught employs the less suitable version of the Rolling Hitch, the one better preferred for a pole.
Optimism: To end this confusion I live in hope that the Scouting organizations will abandon the Tautline Hitch and teach instead the better Midshipman's Hitch.
Recent Research: In August of 2009 Practical Sailor reported on their testing of slide and grip knots. Their analysis concluded: "... On more modern line, which tends to be much more slippery, the rolling hitch often slips under load. It may also fail to hold on wire or stainless-steel tubing...." After testing various knots, they recommended the Icicle Hitch as offering the best performance as a Slide and Grip Knot.
Uses: The Rolling Hitch is useful to take the strain off a rope with a foul turn on a winch. It can also make an adjustable loop in the end of a rope to act as a spring line to a dock. It can be used to relieve the strain on a hawser while the "Bitter End" is transferred to the "Bitts" but the Rat-Tail Stopper is better. When used to make a Midshipman's Hitch it forms an adjustable loop with many uses, e.g., on small sailing boats it is successfully used as a boom-vang and, at home, it makes an adjustable Clothesline Hitch.
Under Load: The Rolling Hitch is one of the few knots which can be tied and untied with load on. It does not bind and, when tied correctly, does not slip. However, in critical applications some authorities recommend using the tail end to tie a second Rolling Hitch to back up the first.
Safety Belt Hitch: Ashley also describes a Safety-Belt Hitch used by Steeplejacks (ABOK # 452, p 74), where three turns, not "tucked up", are used in the first part of the knot before the final Half Hitch is placed.
Overboard: The Rolling Hitch has been promoted as the only knot to tie in the following unlikely but critical circumstance: while sailing alone you fall overboard and catch hold of the line which you have prudently left trailing astern and find yourself hanging on with difficulty. Before you tire, you manage to bring the bitter end of the rope around your back. You then have to tie a suitable knot to make a loop around you. A bowline cannot be tied under load. Two Half Hitches will slide and constrict you. The Rolling Hitch is the answer. Even as the second turn is tucked "up" into the correct place, the major strain is taken and the final Half Hitch can be tied with less urgency.
Variation Using a Bight: When there is a long tail end, the Rolling Hitch can be tied using a bight (loop) instead of the end. This is particularly useful when the Rolling Hitch is being used as a Spring Line. However, attention to detail is essential. The first part of the knot is tied using one strand of the loop. The other strand is kept out of the way but the bitter end is NOT pulled through. Once the first part of the knot is secure and, as usual, will take the strain, the bight can be used to tie one or more Half Hitches.
Disclaimer: Any activity that involves ropes is potentially hazardous. Lives may be at risk - possibly your own. Considerable attention and effort have been made to ensure that these descriptions are accurate. However, many critical factors cannot be controlled, including: the choice of materials; the age, size, and condition of ropes; and the accuracy with which these descriptions have been followed. No responsibility is accepted for incidents arising from the use of this material.

Stephanie Roper Highway honors crime victims' advocates
Stephanie, a Frostburg State University art student and La Reine High School graduate, was abducted after her car broke down on a dark road 30 years ago on April 3, 1982. She was raped, tortured and murdered. April 3 has been named Crime Victims' Advocates Day.
After the Ropers were not permitted to attend the trial of the two men accused of this terrible crime, they put crime victims' rights on the Maryland and national map by helping organize The Stephanie Roper Committee, now the Crime Victims' Resource Center, headquartered in Upper Marlboro.
Russell P. Butler, director of the CVRC, announced, "The state of Maryland has appropriately recognized the efforts of the Ropers by renaming part of Route 4 and placing Stephanie Roper's name on the Maryland State Highway Map."
Condolences to Mary Leonard, of Skyline, on the death of her "last brother," Frank Lester Evans, on Sept. 9. He lived in Upper Marlboro and was 98 years old.
Jean Glaubitz, former first lady of Morningside, is proud of her great-grandson Dillon Lee, on his scholarship to the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
I have been invited to judge the gingerbread houses now on display at Darnall's Chance House in Upper Marlboro. You can view the edible gingerbread houses Nov. 23-25, Nov. 29-Dec. 2, and Dec. 6-9, and see if I judged well. Hours each day are noon to 5 p.m. Admission is $1. For information, call 301-952-8010.
Colonial Handbell Ringers in concert
From the Oxon Hill Pantry
The pantry has moved several times but now is housed at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church, located at 4915 St. Barnabas Road. It has provided food for several thousand hungry children and adults. Local churches, schools, civic associations and individuals help support it, including the Skyline Citizens Association.
ICAC, Inc. officers for 2012-2013 are: Sylvia Green, president; Joe Vlcek, vice president; Betty Cottrell, secretary; Albert Herbst, treasurer; and Brenda Garland, assistant treasurer.
Mary Davis handles volunteer scheduling, so call her at 301-292-9210 to get involved. And, indeed, the pantry urgently needs volunteers! Call, if you can help.
The Board is sad to announce the death of Tom Alexander, founder and first treasurer of the Oxon Hill Food Pantry. He was an active member also of Oxon Hill Methodist Church, Boy Scouts, Oxon Hill Lions Club, County Schools, Meals-on-Wheels, and professional chemist organizations. He died Oct. 28. It's hard to lose someone so dedicated.

IAU e-Newsletter - Volume 2013 n°1
Sent electronically to Individual Members on March 22, 2013
by Thierry Montmerle, General Secretary
1. IB111 is now online at http://www.iau.org/static/publications/IB111.pdf
This new issue contains in particular the detailed structure of the new Divisions, including how Commissions and Working Groups have been reassigned, as well as the results of the all-member vote to join new Divisions. It also contains reports on actions having taken place during the XXVIIIth IAU General Assembly in Beijing, as well as an extended section on Educational and Outreach initiatives (Office of Astronomy for Development, Office for Astronomy Outreach).
2. Changes in the Secretariat.
A new team has taken charge of the IAU Secretariat in Paris:
- Head of Administration: Muriel Besson
- Assistant & Database manager: Julia Nauer
New, generic e-mail addresses have been introduced for correspondence with IAU members, institutions, etc., and the public, press, etc.
Archiving of IAU publications and documents remains the responsibility of Ginette Rude, who is also investigating how to digitize these archives.
3. Elections of the Division Steering Committees
Following the adoption of the Resolution proposed by the Executive Committee about the new IAU Divisional structure, discussions have been conducted on how to establish the corresponding "Division Steering Committees" (DSC), set to replace the former "Organizing Committees" of the previous Divisional structure.
It has been decided that the DSCs would be composed of:
- ex officio: the Presidents of the Commissions belonging to a given Division
- candidates elected by all Division members: six "open" names, chosen from a slate of 10-20 candidates proposed by the Division Presidents.
At the time of writing, these elections, conducted electronically with the help of the Secretariat, are almost completed.
This is the first time in the history of the IAU that such wide consultations, regarding several thousand members (vote on Divisions, vote on DSCs) are being organized.
4. Next Executive Committee meeting
The next Executive Committee meeting (EC93) will take place in Nara, Japan (May 7-10), at the invitation of Norio Kaifu, IAU President.
This will be the first meeting of the newly elected Executive Committee members. See the EC composition at:
In addition, an important feature of this meeting is that, as part of the implementation of the new Divisional structure, the Division Presidents have been invited to participate in this meeting. They will discuss directly with EC members about their strategy for Commission and Working Group evolution, as recommended by their DSCs.
5. A reminder of forthcoming Dates & Deadlines (2013)

Q: What do the Olympics have to do with God's Word?
A: The modern version of the Olympic Games started in Athens in 1896, and although they have generated their share of controversy, the games were meant to foster cooperation, peace, and good sportsmanship. This is far different from the original Olympic Games, which started in 776 BC. These games began in Olympia, Greece, and were held in honor of Zeus. Rules were much different then, as many athletes competed in the nude, and in one event, pancratium, the goal was to box, kick, or wrestle one's opponent until he submitted, fell unconscious, or died.
The Olympic Games grew rapidly in popularity, and before long similar competitions sprang up in ancient Greece: the games at Delphi in honor of Apollo (582 BC), the Isthmian Games near Corinth in honor of Poseidon (582 BC), and the games at Nemea to honor Zeus (573 BC). While these games were originally dedicated to pagan gods, Christians can use the Olympics as an opportunity to teach the truth.
As is true today, these contests were big business and a cultural phenomenon. So popular were these various competitions that the authors of the New Testament made several allusions to them as illustrations.
See how Scripture relates to the games and learn about an Olympics-sized outreach taking place next week!

The huge crowds gathering for the Olympics remind us that so many have never heard the gospel of Jesus Christ. As a Christian, you are His witness, but often people refuse to listen. Why? In this DVD, Ken Ham clearly shows the answer. Check out this excellent resource to more effectively share your faith. (Also available as a softcover book.)

The Scarlet Letter
by Nathaniel Hawthorne
Publisher Konemann
Country Germany
Language English
Edition Hardcover
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Scarlet Letter'
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1871 edition. Excerpt: ...scholar-like renown still lived in Oxford, was considered by his more fervent admirers as little less than a heavenly-ordained apostle, destined, should he live and labor for the ordinary term of life, to do as great deeds for the now feeble New England Church, as the early Fathers had achieved for the infancy of the Christian faith. About this period, however, the health of Mr. Dimmesdale had evidently' begun to fail. By those best acquainted with his habits, the paleness of the young minister's cheek was accounted for by his too earnest devotion to study, his scrupulous fulfilment of parochial duty, and, more than all, by the fasts and vigils of which he made a frequent practice, in order to keep the grossness of this earthly state from clogging and obscuring his spiritual lamp. Some declared, that, if Mr. Dimmesdale were really going to die, it was cause enough, that the world was not worthy to be any onger trodden by his feet. He himself, on the other hand, with characteristic humility, avowed his belief, that, if Providence should see fit to remove him, it would be because of his own unworthiness to perform its humblest mission here on earth. With all this difference of opinion as to the cause of his decline, there could be no question of the fact. His form grew emaciated; his voice, though still rich and sweet, had a certain melancholy prophecy of decay in it; he was often observed, on any slight alarm or other sudden accident, to put his hand over his heart, with first a flush and then a paleness, indicative of pain. Such was the young clergyman's condition, and so imminent the prospect that his dawning light would be extinguished, all untimely, when Koger Chillingworth made his advent to the town. His first entry on the scene, few people... [via]

The Ravens need to go old school this weekend and for the rest of the season.
Forget about the offense. They have waited long enough for quarterback Joe Flacco, running back Ray Rice and this horde of receivers to find an identity.
They already have one: inept.

So like they have done for much of the last decade, the defensive players need to huddle and determine that they have to carry this team if they want to get into the playoffs.
And every game from here on out, they have to come out like a bunch of crazed dogs. And they have to knock the spit out of people, gamble, create turnovers and make big plays in crunch time.
Make no mistake about it, that's the way New York Jets coach Rex Ryan will have his team playing Sunday. The Jets want to brawl and chirp.
They will be surly like Ryan.
"We're a physical football team, and we can make plays with finesse [too]," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "You do all those things, and they do the same thing. We've got to do the things we need to do to win the game. We need to focus on how we play. Any extracurricular stuff, we haven't been involved in that stuff all year. It will be a tough, hard-fought football game — no question. We respect them. They know how to play the game, and it will be a heck of a battle."
One of the final ingredients for the Ravens' defense is playing with swagger. They've played well enough to win and they are playing with more consistency, but not to the point where they dominate games and force a lot of turnovers.
In the four games the Ravens have won, their pass rush was overwhelming registering six sacks against the Miami Dolphins, three versus the Houston Texans and five in the first game against the Cleveland Browns. The Ravens had three interceptions in a 20-17 overtime win against the Cincinnati Bengals.
But in 10 games, the Ravens have only seven interceptions and have recovered three of 10 forced fumbles. Combined with an inept offense, they have earned their 4-6 record.
"The main thing is we have to do that better — big plays on offense, the same as turnovers on defense," Harbaugh said. "We've gotten the sacks. We've had a number of negative play runs that we've created, but the turnovers are very important. And that's something, as we go down the stretch here, that we need to do well."
The Ravens will get that opportunity against New York. Jets rookie quarterback Geno Smith is a turnover waiting to happen. He has completed 166-of-295 passes for 2,100 yards and eight touchdowns, but thrown 16 interceptions and has a quarterback rating of 65.1
The Jets have the 29th ranked passing attack in the NFL, so if the Ravens crowd the line of scrimmage and take away running backs Chris Ivory and Bilal Powell, then Smith has to beat them.
He can't.
"[He is] definitely a playmaker," Ravens linebacker Daryl Smith said. "He has the ability to run around and make plays with his legs, and he can definitely make some good throws, too. So, if you've got a guy like that, we've got to definitely keep him in the pocket, try to stop the run and try to make them one dimensional — just try to put it all on him to beat us. We've just got to keep focused and just know where everybody is, especially him."
The game plan is basic, but the Ravens have to work on their mental approach. This defense is starting to become good, but they don't have that confidence, that swagger yet.
They need to get it, and start playing complete games. Back in the championship 2000 season, the Ravens were so cocky that they believed if they got a seven-point lead, they would win. If the offense didn't score before the half, guys like linebackers Peter Boulware, Ray Lewis, Jamie Sharper and end Michael McCrary took it upon themselves to make a play and win the game.
With this offense, the Ravens need to take the same approach.
All week long we've been hearing about the Jets defense and that they are ranked No. 1 against the run led by linemen Muhammad Wilkerson and Sheldon Richardson.
Former Ravens defensive tackles Tony Siragusa and Sam Adams would have been offended and McCrary and fellow end Rob Burnett would have been clearly irritated.
They still have that kind of pride. Only a few months ago when asked if offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden or Lewis were the great players in team history, Burnett said: "Neither, I'm the best."
He wasn't joking.
On Wednesday former Raven Ed Reed, now with the Jets, proclaimed he was still one the best safeties in the game. Former Ravens linebacker Bart Scott would have been ranting in the locker room if anyone intimated the Jets had a better defense than the Ravens when he was here.
That's just the way they thought, the way they played the game.
That's the way the current Ravens have to think. They need to understand that Sunday's game is a personal challenge, but also know that if they don't carry this team and make some plays their goals won't be accomplished.
They need to reach back and grab a little history and some swagger. Sometimes, old school is better.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific American and the New York University Polytechnic School of Engineering-leaders in science and technology with more than 300 years of combined experience-will launch an online continuing educational program next month. The jointly delivered Professional Learning Program balances interactive, prerecorded content and live, engaging webinars. Enrollment is now open for the first course in March 2014.
Designed for mid-career scientists, business people, and technical personnel to maintain competitive credentials, take their next career step, or stimulate their creativity, these interactive, weeklong online short courses provide up-to-the-minute instruction. Notable industry and academic experts create and teach the virtual courses.
Delivered Monday through Friday, the courses offer five "Active Learning Modules," featuring high-quality production videos and graphics coupled with interactive elements to enrich the experience and retain flexibility and convenience. Students get unlimited access to these lectures, 24/7, from anywhere in the world. They may enter the course up to a week before class starts.
During real-time webinars, students participate in live Q&A sessions. With the instructor and fellow students, they share ideas using video, screen-sharing, chat rooms, interactive polling, and built-in phone and VOIP lines.
"Since 1845, Scientific American has shared the wonders of science with lifelong learners as the country's longest continuously published magazine. It's in our DNA," says Scientific American Editor in Chief Mariette DiChristina. "We are proud to work with the NYU School of Engineering to introduce these virtual courses, which will help busy professionals better understand the world around them."
Added Robert Ubell, the school's vice dean for online learning: "An acknowledged leader in online learning, NYU's School of Engineering draws together the most pedagogically sound virtual learning techniques and strategies, resulting in astonishing rates of student achievement. Our experience in engaging mid-career professionals ensures that students in the new program will find interactive classes surprisingly exciting and unusually informative."
The first course, "Cognition and the Aging Brain," addresses the enormous economic and social implications of the aging population. Instructor Dr. Brian Levine, a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist and an expert on human memory at the Rotman Research Institute of the Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care, Toronto, explains the processes underlying healthy brain aging, how healthy aging is differentiated from dementia and how the major dementia syndromes, including Alzheimer's Disease, are recognized.
"Cognition and the Aging Brain" will run March 17-21, 2014. Subsequent online courses include:

Boston >Food & Dining > Black Rose (The)
160 State St, Boston, MA | Directions 0210942.359400 -71.053771
Monday To Saturday From 11:30 AM To 02:00 AM Sunday From 12:00 PM To 02:00 AM
Neighborhoods: Central, Downtown
Over billed and beat up – Check your receipt at The Black Rose. While paying for a dinner/date last winter I noticed the tab was [clearly] over charged. Asking for an itemized bill I pointed-out the inaccuracies to the bartender. Even with printed proof he would not take responsibility and quickly escalated the situation by summoning the door bouncers.
Well, I paid the excessive bill (plus tip) and then had their goon bouncer's attack me into Mass General. Now 9 months of mri's, x-rays, painkillers, rotator cuff surgery, and physical therapy I am just getting on my feet…Cheers!!
Sadly disappointed – Having seen other reviews, I wonder what went wrong. We visited on a Saturday evening @ 8:00 pm. We were seated (by the hostess) at one of the high round tables upstairs by the bar. After being ignored for 10 minutes (not crowded at all) I went to the bar to order drinks, only to be ignored there also, three bartenders chatting in a corner. My husband switched places with me and got served. We moved our seats into the other room, sat down and waited again!!! After flagging down a waitress we ordered appetizers and our meal. The breaded mushrooms were dreadfully greasy, like they weren't even drained after the deep fryer. My wrap was good, but my husband's burger was rare - ordered well done, fries were cold. I saw other customers sending back food complaining it was cold also, even soup. All in all it was a disappointing visit to what is supposed to be an authentic Boston Irish Pub.
PROS: nice mixed crowd, comfortable atmosphere
CONS: horrible service, so-so food
Avoid being drunk – A true Irish Pub would not mind having a few drunk customers. ESPECIALLY when a pub crawl is signed up to be rolling through, and the management knows that this is one of the last few stops. Why agree to let a pub crawl crowd in when you're just going to kick over half of them out anyway? If people were falling over drunk that's one thing, but I saw people getting kicked out for accused stumbling, which meant they missed a foot placement in line at one point. I usually come here for my Irish car bomb stop, but I'll be looking elsewhere now. I don't know if it was the bouncer's fault or the management's fault for telling the bouncer to act that way, but this is not the place for a pub crawl stop. Next time don't agree to entertain us drunks if you're not going to let us in.
Good Irish Bar for chatting it up – Went there on a Saturday night - it was pretty crowded downstairs. Fairly young crowd with the occasional old folks. Not too loud, but ending up standing up the whole time. Went up to the second floor where there was a really loud karaoke/band thing going on. Overall, good place to stand around and chill and chat it up.
Love the Mixed Crowd – I can't really comment on the food having usually eaten somewhere else before hitting the Black Rose, but their drinks have always been quality. My favorite thing about this place is the mixed crowd. There are young, college-aged people as well as older, middle-aged people. On my last visit my friend and I who are in our mid20s had a great chat with a group of middle aged lawyers sitting across from us. There are always tourists, that's unavoidable, but a great mix of locals as well.
Boston's most quintessential Irish pub caters to visitors and Guinness-loving locals alike. – The Scene
In a city full of Irish bars, this is perhaps the most famous (and probably the most visited), thanks to its high-profile location a few yards away from Quincy Market. Expect an awesomely varied crowd, which almost always includes a fair amount of tourists, especially during the day. The bar maintains a relaxed, genuinely Irish interior by cramming the place full of county flags, coats of arms and historical memorabilia, as well as many fresh-off-the-boat waitresses and bartenders.
The Draw
Whether it's first thing in the morning or last call, the bar's Guinness taps are in constant motion (countless other libations are served, but when in Rome...). Combat the black stuff's effects by noshing on the menu's mix of traditional Irish fare (hearty bangers and mash) and American favorites (satisfying burgers and fries). In the evening, the crowd gets younger and the action heats up with live music, which is featured nightly.
Not a fan – The place is too big to have a good Irish pub feel to it, the bouncers there are obnoxious and the place gets way too hot. The food is actually ok for the price but the rest of it just does not make it worth it. This is Boston, there are much, much better Irish bars to go to.
Not Real Irish – The food here is poor. I had a wilted Cork Country Salad, which is just a poor version of a Cobb salad with chicken fingers on it. I had to ask a busboys to get my waitress who was in full site of my table and not busy. When she came over I was greeted with an indignant smile as I asked for more water. The appetizer tasted like it was out of a Chef-boy-r- Dee" can. This place dose not care if they get repeat customers as they will always get traffic from Quincy Market. The pictures of dead Irishmen behind the bar dose not make this place authentic. Im sure if German bars were in this place would be a German bar. Ill give it another try for a happy hour and the music but I strongly suggest eating elsewhere before you go in for a beer.
Great place! – Loved the live Irish music. I thought I was in Ireland! Tables in front are great and the beers didn't stop coming. Didn't have the food but it looked great. I wish we had it in Chicago!
Great music and crowd – Ive been to the Black Rose on several different occasions and always have a great time. The live bands are great and very popular with the regulars. The first floor is more traditional Irish setting (traditional Irish folk music) and the crowd tends to be a bit older, the decor is also an interesting collage of Irish paraphernalia. The second floor is full of casual professionals and the younger crowd, the music is also louder and with a modern twist. I spent New Years (only a $10 cover) there and had an absolute BLAST, the free champagne was flowing! I never had to wait long to get a drink and the Guinness is reasonable considering the bars proximity to Quincy Market.

COP 15 begins - part one
The waiting is over. Yesterday was the first day of the Copenhagen climate summit and the Klimaforum - the people's climate summit. Our first posting is from the Klimaforum where I spent the day.
The official launch of the Klimaforum took place in the evening with music and speeches from Henry Saragih, general coordinator of Via Campesina, Nnimmo Bassey, chair of Friends of the Earth International and Naomi Klein.
Nnimmo called for an end to backroom deals in the Bella Center - the venue of COP15 - and urged the delegates to listen to the voices coming from the people's summit.
The Kilmaforum was for "real people, talking about real problems, getting together to create movements and share the real solutions to climate change" he said.
On carbon offsetting he issued a red card to REDD, the carbon offsetting mechanism supported by many industrialised countries.
He finished his speech by calling on the audience to join him in one of his chants: "Keep the oil in the soil, keep the coal in the hole, keep the tar sands in the sand." Warmed up with Organic beer the audience were happy to oblige.
Following on from Nnimmo Naomi Klein the Canadian author of No Logo and the Shock Doctrine took to the stage and stated that "There is a difference between a deal and success and Klimaforum09 needs to be the lie detector when the politicians come out with a deal."
This chimes exactly with Friends of the Earth International's demand that a deal is not what we're after it's a just climate agreement. This means emission cuts in developed countries, and money for developing countries to grow cleanly and adapt to the effects of climate change – but it also means a change in our consumption patterns.
As Naomi Klein put it, "Klimaforum is not about giving charity to the developing world it's about taking responsibility and the industrialised countries cleaning up our own mess.
Go to the Klimaforum website to find out what's taking place over the next two weeks.
Video: Nnimmo Bassey speaks at the Klimaforum press conference
Report on day one of the negotiations
Elizabeth Bast from Friends of the Earth US rounds up day one of the climate negotiations.
COP 15 begins - part two
The ice is melting - literally. Sam Fleet began day one of the COP in the Bella Center where the official negotiations are taking place.
The day began at 06:30; a rushed breakfast followed by a crowded metro. We arrived at the Bella center to find Friends of the Earth Germany (BUND) had installed a melting ice sculpture of the Mermaid statue, calling for climate justice at the entrance.
The atmosphere inside the centre was intense, and one of excitement. It was a huge transformation from the empty atrium I had seen the night before, into something akin to a train station at rush hour. It was entirely possible to spend the day exhausting yourself running around like a headless chicken, rushing from one spot to the next, without achieving anything.
The communications and media teamed discussed their strategy, although judging from the huge number of journalists and camera crews marching around the centre, it seemed there would be no difficulty getting coverage; we just had to provide the spokespeople – something FoEI has no shortage of, representing 77 countries.
I left after lunch in order to head to the Klimaforum – the global civil society counterpart of the official UN conference in the Bella Centre – where the second half of the FoEI communications team were based.
After a brief unintended detour through the centre of Copenhagen, past the Hopenhagen concert arena – a huge corporate sponsored initiative – I arrived at the Klimaform just in time to help out and take pictures at the FoEI opening press conference, with our chair, Nnimmo Bassey.
Nnimmo was then rushed in front of Associated Press, and German, Danish and Swedish TV channels, before taking the stage at the opening event for the Klimaforum. I passed through, en-route to a coordination meeting to watch the Danish Chime Transform - Lisbeth Diers playing on instruments sculpted out of ice. An enchanting performance, compounded by the fact, that near the end of the show, whether by design, or accident, the instruments began to shatter in the musician's hands – melting under the hot stage lights.
A simple message: climate change waits for no-one. Act Now!
Action: Ban the backroom deals in copenhagen
Call the on the Danish government - the hosts of the summit - to broker a just and transparent climate agreement.
Desperate to get any kind of deal, the Danish Prime Minister has been leading meetings with rich country negotiators to agree the wording of agreements before proposals are even on the table.
We need to make it clear to the Danish government that this isn't acceptable. And as the hosts of the talks, their responsibility is to ensure a fair and transparent process , not to broker a deal at any cost to the millions of people in developing countries who will suffer most.
Email the President of the Conference of Parties now.
This action is hosted by Friends of the Earth England Wales and Northern Ireland.
Actions, teasers and tricks
There is no shortage of energy and creativity in the Bella Center as hour after hour a new protest fills the corridors from the straight forward banner to rather complex magic tricks.
Our magician try his best to magic away carbon emissions but it just doesn't work.
Young Friends of the Earth promote the Angry Mermaid Award

200 hundred years ago Beethoven was really busy, but it´s time to let hime go. That is just as stupid a saying as the author´s opinion about letting the Beatles go. If the music is good it will stand the test of time. And most of the Beatles´ songs hold up 50 years later, unlike the Stones, the Who, the Doors etc, who were certainly good but the tunes sound dated today. I was at McCartney´s National´s Park show two weekends ago and loved every minute of it. Let him and the Fabs go? If you can find me something modern that is better, then OK. But you´ll be searching a long time. Until then, let me be with my well worn copy of "Abbey Road."

This article says nothing that anybody needs to know, see, read or even think about. People like what they like. No explanations needed, no reasons or reasoning necessary. Scads of Gen Xers like the Beatles for the same reasons the boomers did: Good music. That´s all we know in this life, and all we need know.

Before the article begins, we read: "Justin Moyer, a musician, is on Outlook's editorial staff." Jealousy ain´t pretty. Reading this sniffy dismissal of the Beatles´ musical legacy, I am reminded of Harry Truman´s handwritten note ("...an eight ulcer man on a four ulcer job...") to the musical reviewer who panned daughter Margeret Truman´s singing. Although Harry threatened to kick the reviewer in the balls, I´ll refrain from such intentions.Long after the stink of Moyer´s calcified remains fade from the pinebox in which he will be interred, the Beatles will still be enjoyed by people who love good music. If music is good enough, it should last as long as there are people with ears to listen. Brian Wilson (in the Beach Boys´ immortal Pet Sounds) wrote, "I guess I just wasn´t made for these times." Moyer, who quotes part of that line (unattributed) could say the same about himself.Deciding which band was best is a subjective judgment. The ones mentioned in the article were all outstanding, and they all provided pleasure to the listener. But the Beatles were the most influential popular music group ever, as much a cultural phenomenon as a musical group. It would be hard to imagine any other modern group matching or exceeding what they did.One other thing: I love Nirvana and have all their albums, but anyone who claims that Kurt Cobain wrote melodies prettier than (especially) McCartney´s or George Harrison´s later ballads must be deaf. Melodic isn´t a word I´d use to describe Nirvana, who are better known for sonic assault.

There have been over a million articles written about the Beatles and this one has to be the most ridiculous. I don`t even know the point of the article, other than to bash the Fab Four. Guitar sales may be down but so is every other commodity the past 5 years we have been suffering through Obama`s Economy. In fact the Beatles are so hated that Paul McCartney still sells out every venue for which he performs.

I was 12 when the Beatles first hit the music world. I am now 62 and I still think they are the bomb. My son saw Paul last fall in St. Louis and a week ago here in Indy. The man is 71 and puts on a show like a 25 year old. I´ll take Paul/Ringo over the Stones any day. But in the end it is to each his own.

Take this from someone who loves the Beatles, has performed their music, loves their music, owns the scores and reads them, and listens to them with great care ...the author has a point.The Beatles popularity, quite apart from their music, was specific to the time. They were innovators. They innovated. The music world has assimilated their innovations and moved on.The next great wave of innovators will likely not even be in the pop music sphere.Tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of people have tried to work in the form the Beatles established. (They didn´t invent it but they did refine and popularize it.) For whatever its worth, none of these followers are likely to have the same impact, musical quality notwithstanding.

I was born on the very tail end of the baby boomer generation and so had to listen to how great all of their music was and how wonderful the Sixties were and all that nonsense.One of the few good things to come out of that era were the Beatles. Even my mother, who was a classical musician, thought they were wonderfully talented, so whenever one of their songs would come on the radio she´d turn it up for all of us to enjoy.One of the true pleasures of today is that we can listen to the music we want to on demand. I remember getting excited when one of my favorites was finally played on our local radio station. I´d spend hours listening to dreck, hoping that my favorite song would be played next. My 15 year old has no concept of this, he´s used to everything being "on demand." He doesn´t understand why I still listen to the radio. I do because I enjoy the anticipation, and then the payoff of hearing something I loved all those years ago. It takes me back to simpler times when all I needed was a Beatles song on the radio to make my day.

FTA Lorne Michaels appealed to the band on the air, offering them $3,000 to reunite.I know there´s been inflation since then, but $3,000 seemed a mighty small offer for something of that magnitude.

I disagree with Lennon #11. Elvis was overhyped too. Most of music over the years have been more marketing successes than actual artistry. I do agree this article and the writer are junk. Yes, he is just jealous. Velvet Underground? Oh please...! I miss music. There is not much real music anymore. Rock & roll is fine but it isn´t the end-all, be-all either. It is merely another genre. Music hqs been killed off by those who put sales above art. Rap and hip-hop are not music. Lots of rock is not music either. We have been coerced into accepting junk, flash and sex as being part of music by those who control the media. It´s sad. The music really did die.
