The College News Volume IV. No. 20 BRYN MAWR, PA., MARCH 21, 1918 Price 5 Cents FRESHMEN TRIUMPH OVER SOPHOMORES IN GYM MEET Gymnasium Shield on Red Banner Tradition Fatal for Light Blue Following the red class tradition of in- vincibility, 1921 defeated 1920's light blue, by a total of 146 to 131.2 points in the annual gymnasium meet last Friday afternoon. The losers won the wand drill and tied the Freshmen in the marching and Indian clubs. The judges were Mr. Bishop, of the Haverford School for Boys; Miss Lillian Shaw, physical director of Swarthmore College, and Miss E. Smith, gymnasium director of the Baldwin School. Before presenting the shield to 1921 Mr. Bishop said that their work on both horse and parallel bars was the best he had seen in years. He praised the Fresh- man stunt, done without aid of apparatus or mats, as excellent, difficult, and well carried out. An innovation this year was the march- ing drill. Commanded by M. M. Carey '20 and J. Peyton '21, the Sophomores and Freshmen performed many complicated marches and countermarches with true military precision. The wand drill, in which many of the old "floor work" exer- cises were incorporated in slightly modi- fied forms, was another new feature. (Continued on page 3, column 4) SENIORS PUT 1920 OUTOF RUN- NING IN WATER-POLO Dark Blue to Face Green in Finals In a thrilling game, hard-fought to the end, 1918 downed 1920 on Monday night, 6-3, winning their way Into the first team water-polo finals, which begin tonight .against 1919. The dark blue victory, Monday, was due to T. Howell's aggres- sive game at halfback, supplemented by an ever-ready defense, which bottled up the fast Sophomere forwards and blocked M. M. Carey's long throws. The latter, at first deserting her posi- tion at halfback to play side forward, soon returned, finding M. Strauss '18 too strong an opponent. The first goal was made by M. O'Connor '18, who pushed in a long throw of T. Howell's. Two goals for '20 followed, the second being made by M. M. Carey, receiving the ball from the center forward at the throw off. A second goal by T. Howell '18 left the score 2-2 at the end of the period. (Continued on page 3) 8. TAYLOR SELFGOV. PRE8IDENT Retiring Board Consistently Liberal By an overwhelming vote, which made it possible to make the nomination an election, Sarah Taylor '19 became Presi- dent of the Self-Government Association, Tuesday evening. Miss Taylor has been first Junior member of the Executive Board during the past year. Charlotte Dodge '18, retiring president, reported for the Executive Board at a meeting of the Association, Monday. To refute the criticism that Self-Government Is mechanical and unreasoning. It has been the policy of the outgoing board to be unusually generous with special per- mteaktoa, she said. Each case has been Judged on its own merits with as little reference as possible to former rulings. C. A. CONFERENCE OPEN8 TONIGHT Tea for Mr. Ross Tomorrow Afternoon The Christian Association Conference will open in Taylor at seven-thirty this evening, when Mr. George A. Johnston Ross will deliver the first of his three ad- dresses on the Fundamentals of Chris- tianity.

WOMAN ARMY [OFFICER i WILL TELL OF FIGHTING IN SERBIA M. C. TIMPSON EUROPEAN FELLOW WITH BEST GRADE SINCE 1915 Record Number of Magna cum Laudes, but Lower Median Grade than Usual PRE8IDENT THOMA8 CITE8 GERMAN'S CRITICISM OF WOMEN Gave Signal for Artillery Fire at Battle of Brod in October, 1917 An American woman in active service in the Allied Army, Sergeant Ruth Far- nam, of the crack Serbian Cavalry, will lecture In Taylor Hall Saturday evening, March 23d, on "A Nation at Bay". The lecture will be an account of the war on the Eastern front, and will be illustrated with lantern slides. MIbb Farnam enlisted In the Serbian Army in 1913 and was decorated by the king for her services in the war with Bulgaria. For valor and service in the present war she has been twice more decorated and has been made a cavalry officer. Sergeant Farnam left Serbia in July, 1917, but returned in October. She was the first woman of any nationality to enter reconquered Serbian territory after the Austrian invasion. At the Battle of Brod (October, 1917), one of the Serbian Army's great victories in its advance toward Monastir, Sergeant Farnam gave the signal for the com- mencement of the artillery fire and wit- nessed the panorama of the fighting from a hill between tbe opposing front line trenches. The lecture is under the auspices of the Class of 1920 for the benefit of the Service Corps and will begin at 8 o'clock. All tickets are fifty cents. Margaret Catherine Tlmpson, with a grade of 89.345, is European fellow from the Class of 1918, President Thomas an- nounced last Friday In Chapel. Miss Tlmpson is from New York City and is Just twenty years old. She was prepared at Miss Spence's School In New York and her group In college is Modern History and Economics and Politics. She is the holder of the Brooke Hall Memorial Scholarship, which is awarded annually to the member of the Junior Class with the highest average. Miss Tlmpson's av- erage as European fellow Is the highest since 1916. A larger number of Seniors are gradu- ating with the distinction "Magna cum Laude" (given for grades of 85 to 90) than in any other year on record. They are M. Tlmpson, V. Kneeland, T. Born, I. Loeb, and L. Hodges�7.8 per cent of the class, compared with 6.7 per cent in 1917 and 4.2 per cent in 1916. The percentage receiving the next distinction, "Cum Laude" (for grades of 80 to 85) Is con- trastingly low�9.3 per cent as opposed to 23.5 per cent last year. The median grade this year is 75.316. This is slightly lower than any year since 1911. Two Alumna- Among Graduate Fellows Of three graduate European fellowships announced at the same time as the Senior fellowship, two were awarded to Bryn Mawr alumna;: the Mary E. Garrett Eu- ropean Fellowship for students who have completed two years of graduate work at Bryn Mawr, to Eva Alice Worrall Bryne '16. A.M. 1917, Scholar and Reader In Eng- lish; and the President's European Fel- lowship, for students who have com- pleted one year of graduate work at Bryn Mawr, to Isabel Smith '15, Scholar in Ge- ology, and assistant to the warden of Pembroke. The Anna Ottendorfer Me- morial Research Fellowship in German and Teutonic Philology was awarded to Olga Marx, A.M., Fellow In German. 1918 EUROPEAN FELLOW ii i i SENIOR HONOR ROLL Upper Ten H.

PAID P08ITION OPEN ON "NEWS" TO STUDENT WITH FREE HOUR MONDAY A messenger for the College News Is needed at once. The position will be paid and anyone with a free hour at twelve o'clock Mondays Is asked to apply before Sunday. March 24th. to M. O'Connor '18. Pembroke Weat. President Thomas Addresses Senior* President Thomas, in announcing the fellowships, said in part: "There are two ways in which scholars devoted to research and study can do good work�one, by imparting knowledge (it is very seldom that a great scholar does not wish to teach younger scholars), and the other, by doing research work. The highest ideal of all Is fulfilled when we see a productive scholar surrounded by a group of eager pupils. "Nothing is more inspiring In the history of the world than to see scattered through the centuries these little schools of learn- ing......In classical times and throughout the Middle Ages we find such gatherings of scholars and pupils. Out of them developed the great mediaeval uni- versities� Oxford, Paris, Padua. . . . In this scholarly fellowship women hsd no part. Opportunity to study has come in full measure only In your generation. e � � � "I should like to read you a few sen- tences from a wonderful and awful book by Osias L. Scbwarx. called 'General Types of Superior Men', which shows us with fatal clearness the brutal opinion held by educated German men of the un- educated female sex. 'Now. if the female inherits and, like the child, recapitulates, the organised, racial, primitive character istlcs. but not the recent, functional varta- The eleven Seniors who will receive their degrees with distinction are: Magna Cum Laude Margaret Tlmpson .....89.34 Virginia Kneeland .....87.43 Therese Born ..........87.19 Irene Loeb ............86.19 Louise Hodges .........85.66 Cum Laude Gladys Casael..........84.28 Elizabeth Houghton ... .82.23 Ella Rosenberg ........82.12 Lillian Fraser .........81.11 Helen Whitcomb.......80.92 Katharine Sharpless___80.37 ' The other Seniors in the upper half of the class are M. O'Connor (79.75), F. Buf- fum (79.74), A. Newlin (79.51), K. Holli- day (79.38), M. Strauss (79.38), M. Stair (78.27), A. Gest (77.80), C. Neely (77.74), M. Rupert (77.60), E. Lynch (77.48), C.

Williams (75.41). tions, we understand why the female Is superstitious, conservative, confused- minded, irritable, impulsive, intolerant, despotical, vindictive, unsociable, and In spite of her being protected against the uncertain struggles of life, is still greedy, deceitful, envious, untruthful, selfish, un- intellectual, craving for power and caste distinction, incapable of disinterested friendship; we understand why the prog- ress of woman will always be behind that of man; we understand why women will never truly inherit any higher aspira- tions, for these do not become so easily a general or common property of the species.' "We educated women ought to be able to learn something from the criticisms of our enemies. You who will be among the most highly trained women in the world must help your age and generation of women to set their faces against the things that the herd-women and the cave- women of the past have cared most for. Social distinction and comfortable, afflu- ent homes are not the chief objects for you to strive for in life. Make up your minds to lead your own lives independ- ently and to set before yourselves new ideal* of conduct and thought "

Please help us prepare by nominating the most important grant in your field »
Office of Challenge Grants
Tweets by @NEH_Challenge
NEH grants from across the agency support projects examining American veterans' experience of war and homecoming
We explore the role that NEH plays in supporting documentation and teaching of Native American languages, history, and culture.
It's unlikely Mannie Jackson dreamed, while attending racially-segregated schools in 1950s downstate Illinois, that one day he would be involved in an educational endowment designed to encourage humanities exploration.
NEH challenge grant enables the publication of an award-winning book on music and technology.
When looking for a new home to replace its cramped office condo in a suburban strip mall far from downtown Austin, Humanities Texas director, Michael Gillette, liked the location of the Texas Oil Company building, just blocks from the state capitoI. But while it had abundant space, access to parking, and a fair price, it was ugly: its cheap stucco façade was only surpassed by a bland interior.
North Haven is a small island community off the coast of Maine, with a history dating back to 1762 when the first permanent settler arrived. Thanks to a $60,000 NEH challenge grant, matched by $180,000 in nonfederal donations, North Haven was able to build an archives building to safeguard the community's historical documents.
How a new home brought greater visibility to the Vermont Humanities Council--and a safer drive to the council's friends and staff.
The National Endowment for the Humanities Office of Challenge Grants made fifteen grant offers to institutions following the November 2012 meeting of the National Council on the Humanities.
Whether an affiliated or consortial organization may apply for a challenge grant, independent of its parent or member organizations, depends on three criteria for assessing the autonomy of the appl
The Challenge Grants program, like others at NEH, supports scholarship, education, public programming, and preservation in the humanities, but it differs from other NEH programs in how humanities activities are supported, including a substantial matching-funds requirement.

With sections on 2012 (Diamond Jubilee, Wimbledon and of course, the Olympics), his children and a game called "Pants Down", and a horrific trip to the dentist, this DVD is guaranteed to be an hour and a half of solid laughs! Believe me when I say, it'll be well worth the money!!!

Letters to the Editor - Jan. 10, 2013
Thursday, January 10, 2013 Rise after the fall
To the editor: In the wake of the tragic mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., much has been said about gun violence and mental illness. I, myself, have a mental illness as well as a criminal record, and I am no more prone to violence than a person without a mental illness. I also have no desire to own a gun, legally or illegally. As a Christian, I believe it's not what you do that defines you, what defines you is how well you rise after you fall. I see that to be true in my own life as I continue to grow spiritually and strive to be more Christ-like. About guns
There can never be an excuse or a justification for school shootings, for murder or any other crime committed with a gun. But to choose to punish Millions of law-abiding citizens for the twisted actions of a few is not only wrong, it is un-American. The NRA is correct when the say that the best defense against "a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." Does anyone reading this seriously think that the Bad guy's will obey gun laws? A gun is an inanimate object. It won't bite you, it won't "go off" and shoot you by itself. An empty handgun is a paperweight, an empty rifle is an anchor or a door stop. Something has created an unhealthy and unrealistic fear of guns in this society, an atavistic reaction akin to snakes. A Gun can save your life and the lives of your loved ones. A gun in the hands of the American fighting man has brought peace and freedom to countries around this world, it has fought Naxis and the Greater-East Asia Co-Prosperty Sphere (and if you don't know what that is, look it up) and 230 odd years ago it created this Land of the Free in which we live. Blaming an inanimate object for the actions of the person carrying it is like blaming the car for the drunk drivers accident.
I understand the emotional response of the above letter writers, but that's what they write from, emotion and not rational thought. All actions have consequences and any action to disarm the 1/3rd of the American Citizens who own guns will have reactions that will change the face of this country in ways not yet thought of and it will not be for the better.

Total Time: 1 hr
Prep Time: 45 min
Oven Temp: 350
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
For Classic Yellow Cake Batter:
- 2 stick(s) unsalted butter, plus extra for cake pans
- 1.75 cup(s) sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon(s) pure vanilla extract
- 3 cup(s) cake flour, spooned and leveled
- 1 tablespoon(s) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) fine salt
- 1.5 cup(s) buttermilk
For Raspberry Cream:
- 2 cup(s) raspberries
- 3 tablespoon(s) confectioners' sugar
- 2 cup(s) cold heavy cream
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter two 9-inch round cake pans (2 inches deep). Line bottoms with parchment paper; butter parchment.
- Bring cold ingredients to room temperature. Butter should be soft enough to hold a thumbprint but still keep its shape. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar on high until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes.
- Beat in 4 eggs plus 2 yolks, one at a time, until combined. Beat in vanilla extract.
- In another large bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking powder, and salt. With mixer on low, add 1/3 the flour mixture to butter mixture, beating to combine.
- Beat in 3/4 cup buttermilk, another 1/3 the flour mixture, another 3/4 cup buttermilk, and remaining flour mixture until just combined. Scrape down bowl as needed. Divide batter between pans, firmly tap on a flat surface to remove air bubbles, and smooth tops.
- Bake until cakes are golden and puffed and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 30 minutes, rotating pans halfway through. Let cakes cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Run a knife around edges, then invert; remove parchment. Invert cakes again and let cool completely on racks.
- In a medium bowl, gently mash 1 cup raspberries with a fork. Stir in 1 cup whole raspberries. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream and confectioners' sugar on high until soft peaks form, 1 minute. With a rubber spatula, gently fold raspberries into whipped cream. Place 1 cake on a cake stand or serving plate. Spread raspberry cream on top, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Top with other cake, press gently, and finish with remaining raspberry cream. Serve immediately.

Paranoid personality disorder is a mental health condition in which a person has a long-term pattern of distrust and suspicion of others, but does not have a full-blown psychotic disorder such as schizophrenia .
Personality disorder - paranoid
Cause of paranoid personality disorder is unknown. The disorder appears to be more common in families with psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia and delusional disorder. This suggests genes may be involved. Environmental factors may play a role as well.
The condition appears to be more common in men.
Persons with paranoid personality disorder are very suspicious of other people. As a result, they severely limit their social lives. They often feel that they are in danger and look for evidence to support their suspicions. They have trouble seeing that their distrustfulness is out of proportion to their environment.
Common symptoms include:
Paranoid personality disorder is diagnosed based on a psychological evaluation that assesses the history and severity of the symptoms.
Treatment is difficult because people with this condition are often very suspicious of doctors. If treatment is accepted, talk therapy and medications can often be effective.
Outlook usually depends on whether the person is willing to accept help. Talk therapy and medications can sometimes reduce paranoia and limit its impact on the person's daily functioning.
See a health care provider or mental health professional if suspicions are interfering with your relationships or work.

The Decade in Food: Trends from 2000 to 2010 - Page 2
Wow. What a difference a decade makes! Amazing to think just 11 short years ago we were celebrating the arrival of the new millennium. Back when you were partying like it was 1999, you probably didn't realize the food world would progress so much over the next 11 years. Before 2001, there was no Rachael Ray gracing the Food Network, and our organic obsession? Not on most people's radar. Curious to know what other giant leaps we made for foodies (and all mankind)? Take a look at our review of the past decade in food.
If you want to reminisce some more, check out our retro recipes: comfort food trends through the years.

2001: The Rise of Rachael Ray
In the fall of 2001, America meets accessible Rachael Ray as 30 Minute Meals debuts on Food Network. Today Ray's empire includes her eponymous magazine, Everyday with Rachael Ray; a nationally syndicated talk show; cookware; and branded EVOO (extra virgin olive oil, for those not familiar with the Ray lexicon). As it did with Ray, the Food Network helps propel a new generation of effervescent, telegenic chefs from Paula Deen to Guy Fieri to multimedia celebrity over the course of the decade.

Bobby Bragan left remarkable legacy
By Craig Muder
The image is a silly one, with the men pictured engaged in a pretend scream.
But for Pittsburgh Pirates manager Bobby Bragan, the passion was real. It was a fire that burned for more than 90 years – a fire that helped forge the careers of several Hall of Famers.
The photo, one of more than half a million in the Hall of Fame's photo collection, shows Bragan and actor Joe E. Brown, the father of Pirates general manager Joe L. Brown.
Joe E. Brown was a huge baseball fan and appeared in several baseball-themed moves. Bragan, on the other hand, was a man who shaped baseball history.
Bragan passed away Thursday night at the age of 92. He played for seven seasons in the big leagues during the 1940s, finishing with a .240 average. But after retiring following the 1948 season, Bragan found his calling when Dodgers' general manager Branch Rickey made him a minor league manager.
"Every one of my wins should have a note that says: 'See Bobby Bragan,'" said Hall of Fame manager Dick Williams, who played for Bragan with the Dodgers' minor league team in Fort Worth, Texas. "He disciplined me, and therefore taught me how to discipline."
Bragan managed in the big leagues for seven seasons, starting with the Pirates in 1956 and 1957. He moved on to the Indians in 1958, then managed the Braves from 1963-66. His final record: 443-478.
But for those he touched, Bobby Bragan was one of the most influential men of their careers.
His photo – like more than 500,000 others in the Hall of Fame's collection – will be preserved in Cooperstown forever.
Craig Muder is director of communications for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Earth arms marines with alien technology and builds its first battle fleet! Kyle Riggs is snatched by an alien spacecraft sometime after midnight. The ship is testing everyone it catches and murdering the weak. The good news is that Kyle keeps passing tests and staying alive. The bad news is the aliens who sent this ship are the nicest ones out there.
A novel of military science fiction by best-selling author B. V. Larson, Swarm is the story of Earth's annexation by an alien empire. Long considered a primitive people on a backwater planet, humanity finds itself in the middle of a war - and faced with extinction.
Battle stations! Listen to another Star Force novel.

"If Micheal Bay Wrote a Sci-Fi Novel..."
If you are a fan of Isaac Asimov's deep thinking, or Larry Niven and his habit of making the reader do math, then this book is a welcome mental relief. Another reviewer referred to it as "sci-fi easy listening" and I think he hit the nail right on the head. Much like a Michael Bay film, if you start thinking too hard, you just ruin it for yourself. But that's not to say it can't be entertaining. To understand what I mean, simply read the following (spoiler free) synopsis:
Computer Science professor Kyle Riggs is abducted by an artificially intelligent alien spacecraft. With occasional interjections from his stunningly beautiful consensually captive co-ed companion he must make clever use of programming, hacking, strategy, logic, and knowledge of powers of two to save Earth from merciless robotic aliens.
At several points throughout the novel I considered how it might have made a good story line for a real-time strategy computer game (a la Starcraft). I must say, the book is massively entertaining. Listening to it is akin to having testosterone injected through your ears. Mark Boyett captures the different characters exactly as you would expect with all the seriousness that is required. The book skates a fine line between easy to take in and outright melodrama. It does a pretty good job at staying this side of melodrama (most of the time).
I feel I must give a disclaimer that, as a computer science graduate myself, I think there is a certain draw to a book featuring a computer science professor as a protagonist. Especially one that gets the girl and saves the world. It's not really the kind of thing one would expect out of someone in my field.
To sum things up: The characters aren't deep and neither is the plot, the action is enjoyable and constant, the hacking is surprisingly realistic (5 points for executing a privilege escalation exploit on an alien ship), and I think I'm going to pick up the next one.
"Finally, an explanation for alien abductions!"
Larson has crafted a novel twist on alien contact as well as solving the dilemma of advanced technology within a society temporally close to our own. In Swarm, alien vessels with alien advanced technology, but no aliens arrive on Earth and begin selecting, rather brutally, human candidates to pilot the ships in anticipation of future conflict with another alien enemy.
Our hero is a college computer scientist who is the most successful at deciphering a functional interaction with the alien artificial intelligence powering the spacecraft. The bulk of the tale revolves around bootstrapping a military response to a malevolent alien invasion by what appears to be a machine intelligence, intent on wiping out humanity in order to use Earth as a source of raw materials.
While some of the approaches to dealing with the alien invaders are contrived (and not well thought out), it's clear that Larson is setting up the opening salvo in what appears to a larger and longer story arch that will eventually introduce humanity to a more enlightened view of galactic politics (and lots of interstellar warfare as well).
The writing is tight and the reading is well done making for an overall easy listening experience.
"Finally some ORIGINAL scifi action."
I got this book on a whim, and I am very glad i did. I found the story to be very original and let you really use your imagination to decide what some things should look like. It wasnt filled with a bunch of technical fluff that i have found in other books. Its a very entertaining story that keeps you listening. Every time you start to wonder about a certain topic, or why is this happening, or why would they do that, the author fills you in. Its as if he knows just when you want an answer but makes you wait just a bit longer for it to keep the story going.
"Pretty good little scf-fi story"
I found this to be an enjoyable little listen. Not 5 star worthy but I got hooked nonetheless.
The premise is a bit like the 'The Last Starfighter'. A small fleet of advanced alien ships arrive on modern-day Earth. Each one chooses a human pilot - one per ship. The ship and the pilot are interfaced with nano-technology and human pilots find they're equipped with devices of incredible power.
Just as they begin to contemplate who sent these ships and why, the reason is thrust at them....another armada arrives, and it is hostile. Earth quickly realizes that the arrival of the first fleet was a gift to help combat the second adversarial fleet - which is fortunate because the level of technology they're facing means they'll need all the help they can get.
I am a voracious reader (average about 4-5 Audible books a week, in addition to those I "eyeball".) I have been hooked on recorded books since the time of cassettes/CDs and was thrilled when I became an Audible member in 2007. I find reader reviews good guides to spending my credits, so have finally decided to write a few (although, I would rather be reading!)
"Opens great but descends into utter drek!"
I read A LOT of mil scifi (Heinlein, Scalzi, Card, Campbell, Resnick, Ringo, etc) and am always looking for new books in the genre. Given the number of 4-5 star reviews for this book, I was expecting a great read. The opening was great, but it just started going downhill from there.
This really read like a YA book, or perhaps even a book based on a video game (but, I have read better entries in that genre.)
The characters were utterly 2-dimensional, dialogue subpar, and plot plodding. I was hoping that this volume would be redeemed by some good space battles, but I found those wanting.
**********************spoiler alert**************************************
The development of the protagonist is preposterous. He goes from "work-from-home" college professor to dynamic military strategist in just a few chapters. His early stages of grief went from denial to anger to lust within minutes of his children's grisly deaths. And the half-naked female sidekick's "oh, this ship has good taste" within days of that same ship killing her had me thinking this book was written by a teenager.
I only paid $4.95 for this book, but I still feel I overspent -- and I wish had those hours of listening time back for a more worthy listen. Downloading "Earth Strike: Star Carrier" by Ian Douglas now and hoping it will help clean my mental palate.
"Solid and Mostly Original First Novel"
I'm a bit more lenient with an author's first book, and this was a quick and enjoyable listen. It kept my interest pretty much the whole way through. It starts very unconventionally, which really keeps you guessing as to what will happen next. The main character gets abducted by an alien ship, has to pass several tests, and then gets put in charge and forced to fight another invading alien force. It feels very original since it could go anywhere.
Then about halfway through the books really speeds up and devolves into a more traditional marine military sci fi. The author skips a lot of time as forces build up and alien technology is proliferated in order to fight a huge ground war, and most of the latter half is filled with bloody ground battles. This part is more disappointing as it loses much of its originality and actually feels like a different book.
Then the very end puts on a twist that I didn't expect. I wondered how the next book would get set up and whether it was just a continuation of the battles we've seen. But instead something unexpected occurs and leaves a huge hook for future books. I'm interested to see where it goes from here.

"great man vs. machine opening shot"
i'm a casual scifi reader. i've read a few, but scifi is usually my 3rd stop when looking for something new. i like standalone books, but i'm drawn to series. i was drawn to this book based on the plot, number of reviews, and the high ratings. so, i gave it a try, and i'm glad i did.
i've read hard scifi and military scifi where you really have to pay attention or rewind to get it. the alien technology in this book easily makes sense since nanotechnology has become so mainstream the last few years. the tech is cool, and you can see how it works, and the potential benefits. the tech makes sense so you can understand how our hero uses it.
speaking of our hero, riggs, he is a college professor. he teaches computer science. this is a cool twist b/c you can see how he interacts with the aliens. i'm not giving anything away by saying the aliens are machines. it's fascinating to witness riggs learn how manipulate the machines' programming to answer his questions and accomplish his goals. i write code all day long for work, but you don't need to understand programming to understand and enjoy riggs' interaction and manipulation of the machines' code.
the story opens with riggs being abducted by a spaceship in the middle of the night. i won't give much away, but riggs eventually gains control of the ship. he learns that over 700 other ships have been scouring the earth looking for "the right kind of people." just as riggs and the others start to gain some semblance of understanding what's going on and how to manipulate their ships, their ships take off into outer space declaring enemy detected. the enemy is another group of machines, who riggs names the macros. they are after earth's resources.
this book has battles in space and on the earth. the macros are cold, heartless, and relentless, just as you would expect. there's a lot of plotting and in-fighting between the earth's forces even as the macros attack and slaughter millions.
the battle scenes are well drawn out and smartly done. the space battles are a match of wits; whereas the earth-based are battles of attrition.
the book is fast-paced and enjoyable with a touch of mystery. the review, mark, puts it perfectly, " Its a very entertaining story that keeps you listening. Every time you start to wonder about a certain topic, or why is this happening, or why would they do that, the author fills you in. Its as if he knows just when you want an answer but makes you wait just a bit longer for it to keep the story going."
note: mark, i hope you don't get pissed that i quote you, but you put it so aptly.
I will listen to NO boring book. Old Fav's,Card, King , Hobb. New Fav's, Hill, Scalzi, Sawyer, Interested in Lansdale, Crouch, Konrath
"The Six Million Dollar Man"
The very beginning of this reminds me of the game Portal. Then it becomes kind of (early) Heinleinist. It ends with the Six Million Dollar Man.
The story concept is really good and will keep you listening, even at the times when the writing falters.
Problems: At the beginning the main characters' kids are killed and in a very gross way. His reaction is very lacking. Parts of the book sound like something Piers Anthony would write. We are given information on his wife's death, which was kind of gross and which adds nothing to the story. He is a college professor who teaches computer science and this seems to give him the ability to lead armies, design weapons, be a diplomat and be a military strategist. I believe those that have trained in the military all there life will be insulted by this.
Good: The story is creative. It kept my attention as the miles I was driving just melted by. I have never heard of the (Hope Monkey) before, but I will always remember it. The length of the book is perfect. The ending makes you want to buy the rest in the series.
The narrator was ok, but after listening to Ray Porter and Dick Hill, he was a little lack luster.
1*=I didn't like it..... 2*=It was OK...... 3*=It was good but I will never read it again.......... 4*=Maybe I will read it again in the future.............. 5*=I will definitely read it again(maybe more than once)
IMHO this is best or maybe second best work (Technomancer) of B.V. Larson
Sci fi Story with strong and interesting characters and many developments at this moment I'm reading book 6 and my attention still fully occupied.
You will find everything you may want: aliens, humans, AI machines
Love happiness and sorrow, Honor, betrayal and sacrifice and you will definitely enjoy it.
For some some strange reason audiobooks of this series are published 3 or 4 months later than ebook version, so I had to get the dust of my Kindle.
"The start of a nice odyssey"
The first person story telling allows you to keep a constantly attached to the story without forcing you to jump around the world. It is like you are just following only one person in the story rather than many, keeping a straight story line and thus losing pace.
I could compare it with mogworld and Jam. This due due to the fact they are all told in a first person by the protagonist. It keeps you in the story without jumping you around the world.
This is my first one, although I am already going through the others of the star force series.
Space adventure with the smallest allies and the biggest enemies
"Flight of the Navigator for adults"
Exciting within the first 5minutes and sets up a world that is gonna force me to spend all my credits til I've listened to them all. Narrator has great voice and tells it well. No two characters come across the same. To me, that is the difference between a good narrator and a great one.
"Swarm - I want to join up!"
I really enjoyed this introduction to the Star Force series. I'd relisten to it again but I'm just enjoying the second book at the moment!
The details of the life aboard the ships and how the commanders learn to control the ships. Also, although it was military sci fi, the background details were excellent, how people lived and learnt to deal with day to day life.
Some of the planning of the battles, the logic for how things were worked out.
This was an excellent introduction to a series I think I'm going to love. Depth of characters and details of battle strategies made this a brilliant choice.
"Good start but needs work"
This was an enjoyable listen and one that I would recommend but it is not without some flaws and quibbles which are relatively minor and don't detract too much from the main story. There are a couple of issues around the logic of the nanos and macros and with the nano ship Alamo's behaviour but nothing terrible.
The biggest weakness of the story is the character development. The main lead character generally behaves in a believable manner and is a likeable character that you can follow and get behind. Most of the other characters in the story though are quite thin with little developed between the main character and them. The main female character has some potential at the beginning when they meet on the ship and when she is recovered but this is pretty much wasted as she falls into a rather simple adoring female role that borders on the uncomfortable. And, here is where the story falters the worst, with dialog and behaviour that while possible in the situation they are in seems a bit wrong footed. There were a couple of times where I thought the author was going to go into a full blown sex scene but fortunately the author restrained themselves and didn't veer into trying to write erotica or porn.
Overall the novel moved along and you are able to develop a fondness for the lead character and a desire to read the next novel to see what happens to him and the universe he resides in. Hopefully, as the story advances so will will the writing and character development.
The narrator did a good job and was able to convey the story well and create character voices that you were able to associate with the various characters.
"Fantastic Introduction to the world of Star Force"
I liked the about of thought that had gone into character development, and how it made you thing how you react to the situations that arise in the book. Its difficult to say what i liked most without giving too much of the story away if your a fan of military science fiction, where humans suddenly have access to advanced technology you'll like it.
The way the story plays out it does have you always wanting to listen for that little bit longer.
For me it was a little short I prefer to listen to books that are much longer, but thankfully this is the start of a series of books that I look forward to enjoying in an episodic manner.
"Interesting concepts"
I really liked how this book started out. It was quite a traumatic start and you felt very much in the dark as you went along with the main character. I hoped to have seen a bit more exploration on the inner workings of the ship and the ai but it took a slightly different direction. The narration was ok but some scenes felt a little spoilt with the narrator's feminine voice was being put on. I would describe this for someone considering as Flight of the navigator meets Halo.
"Original idea"
Great book can't wait for my next credit to get the next in series, I like the really original idea
"Great - fresh and ready scifi."
Easy to listen to. Not a hugely taxing plot. Candyfloss Sci-Fi. But kept me well entertained. Not Lord of the Rings but when you want a slice of cake you dont want a 3 course meal.
"Visual story telling great read"
From the beginning Swarm charges along a full speed, the atmosphere is spot on and desperate.
The black surface of the ship has a personality of its own.
I've started the Steel World books where Mark Boyett performs a different younger big ego character which comes across well, whereas in Swarm and Star Force he performs the slightly older lead just right.
"Great book and easy to listen too."
Fun, engaging and smile.
It's a bit like starship troopers but with robbots.
easy to understand.
I wouldn't say moved but it did make me smile when the guy got his foot blown off and explained that the reason he still had a boot was because he found one. Only problem was that the boot was too small but not to worry as he didn't have a foot anyway.
Great story, easy listen, already started book 2.
"Good read with a few minor flaws"
I have listened a military based sci-fi book before, and whilst this has not me got me searching for them I have been put off them. I enjoyed the concept and the story development.
I thought the narrator did a great job and had an excellent voice for the military characters within the book.
I found it hard to take to the Riggs the main character in the book, and the way he reacted to situations lost a bit of realism for me. I would go into detail but do not want to spoil things by giving away important events.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Men's Riva Winter Mid WP
http://www.teva.com/sale/riva-winter-mid-wp/737872790127.htmlWith the Riva Winter Mid WP, we took our best selling light hiker of all time and tuned it for the winter months. The same widely loved fit and comfort has been enhanced by 200g of Thinsulate™ insulation, a Vibram Icetrek outsole and our T.I.D.E Seal waterproof membrane, so you can enjoy the comfort and performance of the Riva all year long.
Product Actions
Additional Information
Vibram® is legendary for their durable and versatile outsoles, so when we need a bombproof and functional sole, we call up the crew at Vibram.
T.I.D.E Seal™
The best way to make sure your feet dry quickly? Make sure they don't get wet in the first place. T.I.D.E Seal membranes will seal out the water (get it?) and keep you high and dry.
Shoc Pad™
You wouldn't ride a bike without a seat. The same logic applies for our Shoc Pad™ technology, which will give you a smooth ride without inhibiting your performance.
Mush® Infused Insole
Now we're not necessarily splicing Mush® genes back in the T.I.D.E Lab to build a hybrid mutant insole, but we do have an insole that's worthy of the Mush name.
3M Thinsulate™ Insulation
There's a lot of things to love about winter. The loss of all sensation in your feet isn't one of them (hopefully). But with 3M Thinsulate™ insulation, that's one part of winter you won't have to deal with thanks to the years of research that 3M has conducted in the field of foot-warmth-ology.
- Vibram Icetrek outsole gives you great grip and durability in the cold
- A nylon shank keeps the foot stable and in control
- Our T.I.D.E Seal waterproof membrane will keep your feet dry even as you plow through the snow
- A soft Shoc Pad™ in the heel gives you serious shock absorption
- A Mush® Infused Insole brings the absurd comfort of our flip flops into a shoe
- 200 grams of 3M Thinsulate™ insulation keep your feet warm when it's freezing out
- Leather upper
- Widened fit in the forefoot allows the foot to breathe and flex freely

- Riva Winter Mid WP
I know these boots will keep your feet dry when walking through snow, etc., but will they keep your feet dry if it is raining? ALSO, I know you can use products made for Nubuck material for cleaning and such, but what happens if I get them REALLY muddy or something? Can I clean them with mild soap and water or what? Thanks, Danny Earnhardt, Hickory, NC. P.S. I just received them an hour ago and have had them on since and they are truly comfortable right out of the box! I followed suggestions from other owners to get them a 1/2 size bigger and they were indeed correct. I have owned many pairs of Teva sandals and I always loved them too. Guess I am now a Teva Boot man too!Asked on 11/12/2013 by Dustman from Hickory, NC1 answer
Yes, you can wear the Riva Winter Mid WP in the rain as well. This boot has a T.I.D.E Seal which encloses the whole shoe in a waterproof membrane. If there is a lot of mud, we would just suggest cleaning them with water and protecting them with product designed for leather or nubuck.
We are very happy to hear you enjoy your boots!Answered on 11/12/2013 by Teva Product Specialist

The Al-Qaeda bomb-maker thought to be behind the Yemen cargo bombs is so ruthless that he once slipped explosives inside his own brother's body to kill a Saudi prince.
His brother managed to get face to face with the prince before a text message triggered the device, but he killed only himself. The August 2009 plot was the latest failed attempt by a Saudi bomb-maker so skilled, daring and prolific that success is probably just a matter of time.

JUST DOING WHAT HE'S TOLD: Proenza Schouler landed a front row full of its loyal socials: Amanda Brooks, Tatiana Santo Domingo and Vanessa and Samantha Traina, whose mom, Danielle Steel, flew in from Paris to join them) as well as a few big Hollywood types. "It" girl Amy Adams was between film sets, having just wrapped "Doubt" and not yet started "Julie & Julia," and took in the sartorial sights with boyfriend Darren Le Gallo.
Dylan McDermott, meanwhile, added himself to the list of celebrities who have no idea what or who Proenza Schouler is, let alone are able to pronounce it. "It sounds like an antianxiety drug," said the actor, who was seated next to Brooke Shields. So why show up at all? "My publicist said I should come," he said candidly. But the "Big Shots" star is not a total fashion neophyte. He's attended shows in Milan, he said, and, "I used to sell Ralph Lauren T-shirts for $15 on the street," he added, not mentioning exactly how he procured such goods.
Meanwhile, Rihanna took her seat between Elle editor in chief Roberta Myers and the magazine's creative director, Joe Zee. "I wish I could go to more shows," the singer said, before adding that she is working on her performance for the Grammys and getting ready to tour with Kanye West in the spring. "I am busy, busy, busy." Lucky for the Proenza boys, she had an opening on Monday night. "I love Proenza Schouler," she said. "Their stuff is very edgy. Like me, edgy and sexy."
SINGIN' IN THE RAIN: The next day, Rihanna kept up her busy pace, stopping by the Totes Isotoner showroom in New York to mark her second umbrella collection with the accessories firm. "We ladies hate walking around with clumsy umbrellas all the time," the singer said. "So my size is perfect and I love the colors." The partnership began in April when Def Jam, Rihanna's label, approached Totes and asked it to make a special umbrella to help launch her hit single, "Umbrella." Within six weeks, Rihanna had her first collection. Some special pieces will be on stage with her at the Grammy Awards Sunday, where the starlet, up for four awards, will perform the song, which is contending for Record of the Year. "The umbrellas go with the theme of the performance, but I can't say what that is yet," she said.

Home → Issues & Initiatives
It is time for us to take bold action. Maine has the best and brightest people to move the state forward and there is no better time to start the movement. All hard working Maine families deserve to have access to the tools that will help them realize their dreams and achieve them. My vision for Maine is one where all of our citizens prosper now and into the future.
More Jobs for Maine Families
Governor Paul LePage is working for you to get government out of the way and allow Maine's small businesses to create jobs. It's time to get Maine working again, and that means tearing down the roadblocks that establishment politicians have built over the past 40 years. Smaller, smarter government is the key to new jobs and financial security for Maine families.
Lower Taxes, Controlled Spending
Reducing Maine's excessive tax burden so Maine families can keep more of their own money is the right thing to do. You know how best to spend or save your hard-earned wages, not government. Governor LePage will control state spending to guarantee lower taxes, while ensuring our highest priorities and programs for our most vulnerable neighbors are supported.
From Welfare to Opportunity
Welfare should be a temporary helping hand to get Mainers back on their feet – not a lifestyle and ticket to permanent dependence on government. Governor LePage's Welfare reforms value productivity and the need to get Maine working. Governor LePage's plan will make sure Mainers who need help most will be taken care of, while creating a series of benchmarks and incentives so a job becomes a better choice than welfare.
Student-Focused Education Reforms
Past education reforms have tightened the grip of union bosses and bureaucrats instead of preparing students to compete in a global economy. Together, we can create student-focused education reforms that prioritize spending so teachers, kids and classrooms have the resources for success, and will create new affordable education options for all Maine students.
Patient-Centered Health Care
Maine needs more competition in its health insurance and health care markets. Governor LePage will fight the establishment and special interests so we have more affordable health care options. Governor LePage will also reform government to make Maine's health care system more efficient, so patients and families have peace of mind they are receiving top-notch, affordable care anywhere in the state.
Working together, we can create more opportunities, get Maine working again, build a stronger more competitive Maine, and preserve the special Maine way of life. Celebrating Maine, our time is now!

Casual Seating Sets
Outdoor casual seating sets are perfect for evening entertaining
Whether you're tending the smoker for a low and slow barbecue, having a few friends over for hot dogs and burgers or throwing your kid a pool party for his birthday, your guests are going to need a place to sit and relax. Kmart's casual seating sets provide the perfect place to enjoy a leisurely dinner or linger over glasses of wine, but if your patio is not enclosed, your guests will need protection from the elements. An all weather Garden Oasis Mission Creek 10ft x 12ft Hardtop Gazebo keeps the rain off and provides shade from the sun. Those with an enclosed deck or patio, on the other hand, might find an umbrella-less Chandler Seating Set.
Pool parties are loads of fun for kids and adults of all ages, and memories of pool parties of summers past last long after the parties are over. For fun by the pool, you'll love the Jaclyn Smith Today Dominic 5 Pc. Seating Set. It's built with all weather water-resistant cushions, which is a must for poolside furniture. Looking for something a little more traditional? The La-Z-Boy Outdoors parker recliner is the perfect place to doze off to the sounds of splashing and laughter. Hang up a patio hammock or two by the pool to complete the picture and you can enjoy a resort vacation without ever leaving your backyard.
Patio outdoor seating sets are great for summer nights, but you won't have to hang up your grilling apron and swim trunks when the weather gets cooler. Squeeze a few more months of barbecue season out of the summer and fall with a patio heater from Kmart. Depending on the size and configuration of your deck, you'll need to look into different patio heater options. If you're warming a smaller deck, install a Fire Sense Stainless Steel wall mounted infrared patio heater. This small unit mounts onto an exterior wall to save you deck space, while the black powder coat finish protect it from the elements for long service life. If you need to warm a wider area, the Fire Sense 47,000 BTU Deluxe Stainless Steel LPG Patio Heater sits lower to the ground, making sure the heat reaches your guests. And if you prefer the crackling flames and wood smoke of a real fire, a fire pit from Garden Oasis & Fire Sense is a great natural option.

Business Action to Stop Counterfeiting and Piracy (BASCAP)
The massive infiltration of counterfeit and pirated goods drains $1 trillion from the global economy and robs over 2.5 million jobs. Unsafe and ineffective products now pose a risk to millions of consumers, while governments, businesses and society are being robbed of hundreds of billions in tax revenues, income and jobs.
A disorder of this magnitude undermines economic development, a sound market economy system and open international trade and investment. No legitimate business or country is immune to the impact of counterfeiting and piracy, and no single actor can successfully fight this battle alone, which is why ICC created the Business Action to Stop Counterfeiting and Piracy (BASCAP).

I returned this vest. Way to short in the front and way to long in the back. Not a good fit for me.
Read All ReviewsChristopher in MI
Not the biggest backpack but perfect for carrying lunch/extra clothes whatever you need for a ride. I always take a towel, a few waters, and my gps with plenty of extra space. I use both on my enduro around town and on the trails with my quad and other bike. Could easily carry a laptop or something if you needed to. Best part of the pack is the straps. Others dig into your shoulders or are uncomfortable and these are great. Don't get too hot wearing it either. I like it so much I have considered buying another just so one is clean when I'm riding around town and the other I can leave dusty/dirty without getting my normal clothes messy. I would not hesitate to recommend this backpack to anyone.

I love Icon stuff and have bought many items from them but lately I have noticed a decline in the overall product quality, fit, and finish. Specifically these gloves for this price point should not have erratic stitching, wildly inconsistant leather quality, and cheap feeling materials.

I like the look and the idea of them. But the fit just didn't work with my body type I guess.... Quality seemed to be there. Just the fitting for me was off.... I am 5'9". 190lbs. 31" inseam... Wanted them for over my cloths...

JWatt (formerly PMS) wrote:The only thing that would explain your stance is that Brewer is a defensive liability and needs to be paired with a defenseman that is strong enough defensively to bail him out and keep his goals allowed stats down.
This is kind of what I was saying. When Brewer is paired with a good defensive defenseman who can make up for Brewers defensive lapses, this makes Brewer better. Does it have to do with it being someone Brewer is comfortable with? Maybe but I think it utimately comes down to someone who can make up for his mistakes.

South Boston bar ordered shut for a week because of fight that left one woman with broken nose, another with bruised ribs
http://www.universalhub.com/2010/south- ... se-fight-l
Sake could replace whiskey at troubled South Boston bar
The Boston Licensing Board votes tomorrow on whether to let the owners of Slainte on West Broadway sell their liquor license to a new owner who would replace it with an upscale Japanese sake bar.
Li Pei Liange wants to open the Station Bar and Bistro and turn it into more of an upscale destination location rather than a neighborhood hangout, his attorney, Peter Lim, told board Chairman Michael Connolly at a hearing this morning.
Last month, the board ordered Slainte shut for a week because of an incident in which a bar bouncer threw a woman down stairs and did nothing when a crowd outside began kicking her and her girlfriend - the second time in a year the board ordered a weeklong suspension. In June, 2009, a man was stabbed in the bar's parking lot.
Slainte took over from another bar that shut after a patron was stabbed to death. Going back even further, the location was a hangout for Whitey Bulger, who murdered at least one person there.

I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!
