It's time. I must bring to your attention the least essential controversy of 114 years ago: nude bookplates.
Yes, everyone loves a good ex libris, and time was when no serious reader would be without one—but you couldn't just go slapping any old thing on your flyleaves. You had to exercise good taste. In a 1902 book called Book-plates of To-day, Wilbur Macey Stone—whose very name conjures many constipated nights with a musty tome by the fireside—lays out a few aesthetic guidelines for the bookplate connoisseur. And it isn't long before he gets to the big issues. Read More »
A Century of Censorship, and Other News
November 18, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Our new anthology, The Unprofessionals, is out now. What does it mean to be unprofessional, you ask? In many cases, it's as easy as spitting in someone's food or showing up to work in bondage gear. But if you're a writer, escaping the rising tide of professionalism proves more difficult. Fortunately, our editor, Lorin Stein, has some advice: "The stories that excite me most tend to have three qualities. First there's a voice, a narrator who urgently needs to speak. Even if they never say 'I.' Second, the narrator tries to persuade you that he or she is telling the truth. The third thing is, for lack of a better word, wisdom. A kind of moral authority, or at least the effort to settle a troubled conscience … There's a kind of realism—not just in stories, but in poems and essays—that assumes we live in dishonesty, that we lie to others and ourselves as a matter of survival, but that part of us knows the truth when we see it. That's what interests me: the truths we can't tell except when we put on the mantle of this authority."
- Karl Ove Knausgaard hears this voice, too: "The novel is an oddly intimate genre: at root, it is always a matter between two individuals, writer and reader, whose first encounter occurs when the writer writes—for in writing, the very act of it, there is always an appeal to a you, redeemed only by the insertion of a reader. This you may be inserted at any time, even hundreds of years after the event of writing, the way, for instance, we might read a novel written in seventeenth-century Spain, or eighteenth-century Russia, or early-twentieth-century Germany, and yet still induce the voice of the self to rise anew within us, remoteness dissolving. And that self may also reveal itself to us in the reading of novels from places geographically remote to us, such as China, Kenya, Colombia."
- A century ago today, on November 18, 1915, cinema saw its first nude woman, and people have been in a tizzy over sex and censorship on-screen ever since: "The bare breasts and buttocks of Audrey Munson, the actress in Inspiration, seemed to enter the public consciousness only obliquely. One contemporary critic wrote that the film was 'both inspiring and intellectual,' with Munson giving a performance of 'innocence, modesty, and simplicity'; others noted that it was 'daring' and a 'triumph of Film Art.' One, the Daily Capital Journal, scoffed at the idea of anyone being offended by it. After all, it pointed out, this is a work of 'extreme artistic and educational value,' not a titillating striptease."
- Today in nests and nesting: in Zvenigorod, forty miles west of Moscow, there stands a cathedral with a wealth of rare printed matter hidden inside: letters, newspaper clippings, candy wrappers, banknotes, some as old as the early nineteenth century. For this horn of archival plenty, we can thank the birds: "flocks of swifts and jackdaws had built nests in the attic out of various bits of papers, dirt, branches, and trash that over the centuries came to form a considerably thick layer of preserved history … Other documents record the town's civic, religious, and educational affairs; among the lot: bus tickets, delivery contracts, a county court slip, students' notebooks and diplomas, parish registers, and even church confessional statements."
- The photographer Andrew Moore's new book, Dirt Meridian, features ten years of his pictures of homestead sites, taken along the hundredth meridian line that runs through Nebraska, North and South Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, where once pioneers were attracted by the Homestead Act. What's there now? "Almost World Famous Dixie's Café," crumbling houses, Simon's Schoolhouse Museum, and a lot of property that looks more or less the same.

In the Buff: Literary Readings, Pasties, and Jiggling Genitalia
March 4, 2013 | by Rae Bryant
The beautiful is always bizarre. —Charles Baudelaire
My first time with the postfeminist, burlesque lit girl culture—pasties, G-strings, audience clapping to jiggling booties—I was in a fun little Brooklyn bar called the Way Station. I had, minutes before, read from my own work, what I thought was a wryly humorous and oh-so-literary postfeminist exploration of time, culture, and relationships. I knew the term "burlesque" had been thrown around on the billing, but to my Midwestern sensibilities, burlesque meant feathers and brief flashes of almost breast, the inner curves of almost vagina, with the full monty saved for fictional accounts. This, on the other hand, was a literary reading. So you can imagine my reaction to the dancer's G-stringed ass shaking so close to my face I felt an instinct to throw up my hands in self-defense. I don't think she meant to shake her booty in my face. Not mine particularly. It was coincidental. But it felt so personal at the time, in the moment so intentional, that I was certain something must be happening creatively. There were the dancer's pastied breasts on my author page, alongside my book, compliments of my publisher's well-intentioned marketing attempts. Cosmic. There was a message in this. I wasn't quite sure what the message was except that it involved pasties and butt jiggling. All I knew for sure was that it was disconcerting to an oh-so-serious, postfeminist, gender explorer.

I am the first one in Stockholm's Centralbadet this Monday morning, followed by James, then by an old man wearing big yellow goggles, who does a steady breaststroke around the perimeter of the pool. Watching him, I switch to breaststroke myself and match his speed. It feels comfortable. It feels relaxing. As the three of us swim counterclockwise, I channel my old age, my flabby form, my unself-conscious senior. I think of the two older women I passed in the locker room, whose modest black tanks encased humps and bones and bumpy flesh. The cruel phrase a friend once used to describe a woman's backside: "a bagful of doorknobs." I watch my hands trace their double ellipse in front of me, my mother's wrists, my grandmother's knuckles.

Theater review: 'R. Buckminster Fuller' at Arena Stage, reviewed by Peter Marks
By Peter Marks
Monday, June 7, 2010
Have you ever been cornered by the most brilliant person in a room for a lot longer than you wanted? Someone who, finally coming up for air, gives you the opening to blurt out, "Oh, gosh, look at the time!" as you make a beeline for the coat room? If so, you'll have some idea of the itchy impulses stirred by Arena Stage's talky treatise of a play, "R. Buckminster Fuller: The History (and Mystery) of the Universe."
The wordy title hangs aptly over D.W. Jacobs's long-winded performance piece, which takes the shape of an extended discourse by an actor playing Fuller, the late eccentric 20th-century visionary. The actor is the sturdy Rick Foucheux. He has the unenviable job of memorizing nearly 2 1/2 hours of Fuller's ruminations, opinions and theories and spewing them back in this, the last show in Arena's temporary space in Crystal City.
In bow tie and three-piece suit, Foucheux's Fuller gases on and on about what's best for all of us on spaceship Earth, while he fails to deduce what would be best for him: an editor. There's no questioning the intellectual gifts of Jacobs's subject, an unorthodox thinker most famous for his design of the geodesic dome, a man so advanced in cerebration he apparently even piqued the curiosity of Albert Einstein.
Some way might have been found to give more fully compelling form to his cautionary notions, but as written and directed by Jacobs, "The History (and Mystery) of the Universe" is tantamount to a display case for a gigantic brain. We hear gobs about Malthus and "vector equilibrium" and "the coordinate system used by nature." And Jacobs does find some imaginative ways -- with the help of his set and projection designers, David Lee Cuthbert and Jim Findlay -- to provide some of Fuller's personal biography and illustrate the concepts that fascinated him.
What's not supplied, however, is an overarching rationale for our being asked to listen to Fuller at this length: We're never given an essential ingredient of this narrow kind of theater, an opportunity to feel for the man, to understand what makes him tick (even though he does wear a watch on each wrist). Aloof and adrift in his own brilliance, Fuller can talk about the wonders of human potential but not interest us very much in his own story.
"I'm the opposite of a reformer; I'm a 'newformer,' " Fuller says at one point, and yes, he brims with proposals for radical rethinks of the way we live. Many of his brainstorms revolve around his belief that the triangle is nature's most perfect geometric shape, though precisely why it's imperative that humankind live in houses that extensively incorporate it remains an elusive facet of the discussion.
Foucheux is as amiable a guide as you might want for such an excursion, even if the portrayal doesn't bring out all that many vivid colors. Students of Fuller's theories will no doubt revel in the effort to theatricalize them. For most others, however, the evening will come across as a kind of cosmic equivalent of the old "Watch Mr. Wizard" TV show. And in this case, not even the wizard is entirely sure what he's doing here.
"I don't know why I've been invited to speak to people as ignorant as you," he declares. For long stretches, we're forced to wonder, too.
Written and directed by D.W. Jacobs. Sets and lighting, David Lee Cuthbert; costume, Darla Cash; composer and sound designer, Luis Perez. About 2 hours 20 minutes.

GLACIER Storage Class: Additional Lifecycle Configuration Considerations
For objects that you do not need to access in real time, Amazon S3 also offers the
GLACIER storage class. This storage class is suitable for objects stored
primarily for archival purposes. For more information, see Storage Classes.
The lifecycle configuration enables a one-way transition to the
storage class. To change the storage class from
GLACIER to other storage
classes, you must restore the object, as discussed in the following section, and then make a
copy of the restored object.
Cost Considerations
If you are planning to archive infrequently accessed data for a period of months or
years, the
GLACIER storage class will usually reduce your storage costs. You should,
however, consider the following in order to ensure that the
GLACIER storage class is
appropriate for you:
Storage overhead charges – When you transition objects to the
GLACIERstorage class, a fixed amount of storage is added to each object to accommodate metadata for managing the object.
For each object archived to Amazon Glacier, Amazon S3 uses 8 KB of storage for the name of the object and other metadata. Amazon S3 stores this metadata so that you can get a real-time list of your archived objects by using the Amazon S3 API (see Get Bucket (List Objects)). You are charged standard Amazon S3 rates for this additional storage.
For each archived object, Amazon Glacier adds 32 KB of storage for index and related metadata. This extra data is necessary to identify and restore your object. You are charged Amazon Glacier rates for this additional storage.
If you are archiving small objects, consider these storage charges. Also consider aggregating a large number of small objects into a smaller number of large objects in order to reduce overhead costs.
Number of days you plan to keep objects archived – Amazon Glacier is a long-term archival solution. Deleting data that is archived to Amazon Glacier is free if the objects you delete are archived for three months or longer. If you delete or overwrite an object within three months of archiving it, Amazon S3 charges a prorated early deletion fee.
Glacier archive request charges – Each object that you transition to the
GLACIERstorage class constitutes one archive request. There is a cost for each such request. If you plan to transition a large number of objects, consider the request costs.
Glacier data restore charges – Amazon Glacier is designed for long-term archival of data that you will access infrequently. Data restore charges are based on how quickly you restore data, which is measured as your peak billable restore rate in GB/hr for the entire month. Within a month, you are charged only for the peak billable restore rate, and there is no charge for restoring data at less than the monthly peak billable restore rate. Before initiating a large restore, carefully review the pricing FAQ to determine how you will be billed for restoring data.
When you archive objects to Amazon Glacier by using object lifecycle management, Amazon S3 transitions these objects asynchronously. There may be a delay between the transition date in the lifecycle configuration rule and the date of the physical transition. You are charged Amazon Glacier prices based on the transition date specified in the rule.
The Amazon S3 product detail page provides pricing information and example calculations for archiving Amazon S3 objects. For more information, see the following topics:
How is my storage charge calculated for Amazon S3 objects archived to Amazon Glacier?
How am I charged for deleting objects from Amazon Glacier that are less than 3 months old?
Amazon S3 Pricing for storage costs for the Standard and
GLACIERstorage classes. This page also provides Glacier Archive Request costs.
How will I be charged for restoring large amounts of data from Amazon Glacier?
Restoring Archived Objects
Archived objects are not accessible in real-time. You must first initiate a restore request and then wait until a temporary copy of the object is available for the duration that you specify in the request. Restore jobs typically complete in three to five hours, so it is important that you archive only objects that you will not need to access in real time.
After you receive a temporary copy of the restored object, the object's storage class
GLACIER (a GET or HEAD request will return
GLACIER as the storage
class). Note that when you restore an archive you are paying for both the archive
(GLACIER rate) and a copy you restored temporarily (RRS rate). For information about
pricing, see Amazon S3 Pricing.
You can restore an object copy programmatically or by using the Amazon S3 console. Amazon S3 will process only one restore request at a time per object. You can use both the console and the Amazon S3 API to check the restoration status and to find out when Amazon S3 will delete the restored copy.
Restoring GLACIER Objects by Using Amazon S3 Console
For information about restoring archived objects, stored using the
GLACIER storage
class, by using the Amazon S3 console, see Restore an Archived Object Using the Amazon S3
Restoring GLACIER Objects Programmatically
You can restore
GLACIER objects programmatically directly from your application by
using either the AWS SDKs or the Amazon S3 API. When you use the AWS SDKs, the Amazon S3 API
provides appropriate wrapper libraries to simplify your programming tasks; however,
when the request is sent over the wire, the SDK sends the preceding XML in the
request body. For information about restoring objects programmatically, see Restoring Archived Objects.

Remember Bashar Assad, 'Reformer'?
The dictator's American apologists owe Syria's people an apology.
A reader of last week's column on Hillary Clinton chided me for failing to mention her remark, made as the revolt in Syria was gaining strength last year, that Bashar Assad was "a reformer." The reader makes a fair point, one that helps explain why the administration has been so feckless about confronting the Syrian dictator.
But the real scandal of Mrs. Clinton's remark lies in its broader context.
Here's Mrs. Clinton's fuller quote, from March 27, 2011, answering CBS's Bob Schieffer on why the U.S. was prepared to intervene against Moammar Gadhafi but not against Assad: "There's a different leader in Syria now," she explained. "Many of the members of Congress of both parties who have gone to Syria in recent months have said they believe he is a reformer."
That caused some raising of eyebrows. So a few days later Mrs. Clinton clarified: "I referenced the opinions of others. That was not speaking either for myself or for the administration."
How could Mrs. Clinton justify administration policy by citing opinions she supposedly refused to endorse? Because she's a genius, obviously. The more relevant point is that she was mouthing the conventional liberal wisdom of the day, which paid more heed to a dictator than to those he repressed. Maybe it's time Assad's apologists apologize to the people of Syria.
Take Joshua Landis, the University of Oklahoma professor who writes the influential Syria Comment blog. In September 2005, Mr. Landis chided the Bush administration for its failure to more closely engage Assad.
"Assad's regime is certainly no paragon of democracy," Mr. Landis wrote in a New York Times op-ed, "but even its most hard-bitten enemies [within Syria] do not want to see it collapse." Mr. Landis went on to praise Assad for freeing political prisoners,"tolerat[ing] a much greater level of criticism than his father did," and enforcing a degree of religious toleration that "had made Syria one of the safest countries in the region."
Views like these were well in keeping with most media portrayals of Assad. A lengthy and mostly flattering New York Times profile from 2005 portrays Assad and his wife Asma as a progressive duo struggling to drag their unwieldy country into the 21st century—while trying to deal with an inept Bush administration too stupid to engage him or give him latitude for reform.
Also in 2005, a ferocious battle erupted in the U.S. Senate over the confirmation of John Bolton as ambassador to the U.N. A key point of contention: his congressional testimony from late 2003 claiming Damascus had "one of the most advanced Arab state chemical weapons capabilities," and that it might have a covert interest in developing a nuclear bomb. The CIA reportedly went berserk over what it considered Mr. Bolton's undue alarmism, which would later help sink his nomination in the Senate.
What came next was a chorus of congressional sycophancy. In 2007, Nancy Pelosi enthused that "the road to Damascus is a road to peace." On March 16, 2011—the day after the first mass demonstration against the regime—John Kerry said Assad was a man of his word who had been "very generous with me." He added that under Assad "Syria will move; Syria will change as it embraces a legitimate relationship with the United States." This is the man who might be our next secretary of state.
Maybe it's unfair to score Messrs. Landis, Kerry and the others for not anticipating how Assad would behave in the face of a revolt. Then again, Mr. Landis's 2005 op-ed was published just a few months after former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri's spectacular murder in Beirut. Syria's secret nuclear program was exposed by an Israeli bombing in 2007, yet that didn't deter the rush toward engagement that began under Condoleezza Rice. Sen. Kerry was well aware of the military aid Syria was illegally providing Hezbollah, which also seemed to do nothing to dent his enthusiasm for Assad.
Nor was there a shortage of commentators warning of the perils of courting Assad. So why the headlong rush to do so? Maybe because it fit into a wider ideology of engagement that encompassed not only Assad but also Ahmadinejad and Putin. A simpler answer, and probably a truer one, is that it was the opposite of what the neocons wanted to do.
Now we know what the George Costanza-esque "do the opposite" approach to Syria has yielded: A secretary of state inclined to give Assad a pass when the Syrian revolt began; an administration that took months to call for the dictator's ouster; a U.S. that has helped Assad buy time by insisting that only the U.N.—where he is defended by Russia and China—could sanction any kind of action. It's true that the administration has gradually changed its tune. But did 10,000-plus Syrians have to die in order to bury the myth that Assad's apologists had constructed for him?
On Monday, a Syrian government spokesman all but admitted that the regime had stocks of chemical weapons. So John Bolton was right. Maybe when this administration stops thinking of its critics as the enemy, it won't be caught mute and flat-footed when our real enemies show their colors.

High Voltage Software changed Wii gaming with The Conduit, bringing the modern day shooter in with a graphically friendly package. HVS focused on developing their engine around the limits, bringing a Wii game unlike what anyone had seen before with new effects and depth. At E3 this year we saw a behind doors preview, showcasing the new design and approach to Conduit 2. With linear paths thrown out the window, the team pushed forward to create a tree of paths to suit the style of the player with new AI to match.
Conduit 2 thrives on story and choice, allowing players to adopt the combat style they wish. If full frontal assault occurs, the AI will finally react to the threat they sense happening. In The Conduit, AI suffered from too many choices and too long of a thought cycle for enemies. If an assault took place, the AI would react to the first attack and try to produce actions based on every change in the fight. Conduit 2 restricts paths available; the AI has only so much time for each enemy to decide. This change allows HVS to create independent AI, dedicating decision trees to each class. The demo included an example of this with a scientist ducking for cover and escape; as it moved on, the AI changes were visible, with the lesser AI moving to safety as the soldier classes stepped up to attack.
For those coming from the original, the shift using the branching paths and new AI gives the game new life. This is not The Conduit that players once knew; in fact, the community feedback is still changing the game as they develop it right now, in areas like the new custom control, Wii Motion Plus and Speak support, sensitivity, friend codes (or the lack thereof), and camera choices. It acts as an example of the commitment to the development around the feedback they took before.
Other shifts come through in the flow of the game; in The Conduit, HVS pushed to handle the game in-house for storyboard. In the sequel, a professional author has come in to streamline the game, incorporating an active plot while playing. Cut scenes have become a separation point for many gamers; the latest installment will work on keeping a flow of action instead. HVS has also moved to allow for sprinting on demand, giving players the ability to control the pace of the game. One of the last changes that we found was the update to the HUD, which shows a move to regenerative health over med kits.
Many changes have occurred over the course of the year; HVS plans to continue taking community feedback and develop Conduit 2 to be what players want. We are looking forward to setting up a future Q&A with the team, so stay tuned for more information on that.

First Wake Forrest, then Rhode Island and now USC. The first two games of Syracuse's schedule provided last minute drama that unveiled both resiliency and weakness for the Orange.
Syracuse came into this year with relatively high expectations from the fanbase (at least high by the standards of a rebuilding program). While the Orange are 2-0, the two wins were ugly; however, this week's past win may have been the ugliest.
Rhode Island, a middle of the pack FBS team, gave Syracuse a scare. The Orange should have been fine without three defensive starters, right? The Orange should be able to just run the ball down the throats of the Rams, right?
Wrong and wrong.
The Orange had to rely on Ryan Nassib's career day and the Rams' inability to cover a screen pass in order to move the ball down the field and win the game. The Orange needed two key sacks from Marquis Spurill to stop Steve Probst's Ben Roethlisberger impression.
This week, the Orange prepare for their most difficult opponent: USC. Some would argue that the travel, environment and unfamiliarity makes this game the most difficult on the schedule (a view I agree with).
This match-up is an intriguing contrast of a once proud program on the decline due to scandal versus the rejuvenation of another under an old school approach. The game presents Syracuse with an opportunity to obtain national recognition and respect for the Big East if they can upset USC.
But first, there were some issues that needed to be addressed from the Rhode Island game.

Northern Exposure
Ramot Naftali, Israel — With the Sea of Galilee shimmering just out the passenger door, we turned left onto Highway 90 into the home stretch: the Hula Valley. A weekend cabin at Moshav Ramot Naftali — a mountain community overlooking what Israelis call the "finger of the Galilee" — lay just 20 minutes away.
Coasting northward with wife and two kids napping, it first appeared to be a cloud. Slowly coming focus, the majestic snow-capped Hermon mountain range, the northern extreme of the Golan Heights, looked down at the valley.
As we wound our way up, down and through the cliffs bracketing the Hula, the Hermon range seemed omnipresent. "The Hermon is following us," volunteered the 3 ½-year-old. Indeed they would, for the entire trip.
The Hula region is a narrow strip of land wedged between Lebanon to the west and the Golan to the east, hence the "finger" image. Even though it has been years since I've properly toured the Negev and Arava regions of southern Israel, we always find ourselves drawn back to the Hula. The view of the Hermon peaks alone is enough to make Israelis feel somewhere far away. Definitely not the Middle East.
With no traffic, the Hula Valley can be reached in just over two hours from Tel Aviv. But traveling with two young kids creates different calculations, and luckily the car snoozes ended at a convenient midway point.
Located just north of Afula, Kfar Tavor is a tiny turn-of the- (20th) -century pioneering village alongside the mountain bearing the same name. There is a museum dedicated to the town's history, but the afternoon-saving attraction proved to be the John Deere tractor museum and play area.
Kids get to tool around a hangar-sized converted warehouse on yellow and green miniature tractors, while parents can inspect mothballed models preserved with loving care along with technical specs for the hardcore agriculturalist. There's a movie about tractors shown in a separate screening room, as well as a café. If you are looking for something more refined than a café in a John Deere warehouse, you can eat at the Bordeaux Restaurant at the Tabor Winery complex, which overlooks Tabor's vineyards.
Thanks to the John Deere pit stop, we were able to reach the Ramot Naftali region without any more stops, and we ultimately arranged to meet our friends at the Manara Cliff cable car. Perched just about the town of Kiryat Shmonah and hugging the border with Lebanon, the Manara cable car offers a spectacular bird's-eye view of the Hula Valley below and Hermon snow caps to the northeast, as well as the western slopes of the Golan Heights. Unfortunately, by 4 p.m. on a Friday the cable cars were done for the day, so we set out to check into our room.
We had planned to stay at the guesthouse of Kibbutz Manara, which a friend recommended for its balcony views of the Hermon. But when we hesitated to finalize, some one snapped the room up and my dream of the watching the Hermon would have to wait.
Luckily we found a last-minute deal at a bed-and-breakfast at the house of Ruth and Nissim Eliya in Moshav Ramot Naftali. The two-night weekend rate of 900 shekels ($225) beat any of the cabin rates offered on kibbutzim (but breakfast was extra). The cabins were cozy and decorated appropriately. With a separate bedroom, and sitting room and a small kitchenette, the cabins can accommodate a family of four or five. In between the seven or so units, the small commons was well groomed with a mini-playground and a pond with exotic fish.
For an extra 50 shekels per adult and 40 shekels for children, the Galilean breakfast by Ruby Rogel offered a range of gourmet spreads, jellies, cheeses, eggs, freshly baked sourdough bread and a frothy chocolate milk.
After getting underway a little late, our first destination was Nimrod's Castle. From Kiryat Shmonah take Road 99, across the Hula, past the Banias Nature Reserve and just past the Snir waterfall (worth a stop, but not if your kids have been primed to climb in a castle). Turn left onto Road 989, which heads toward the fortress, which has been turned into a national park.
The ruins of crusader-era fortress sit on a bluff looking west, with a commanding view of the Hula Valley. It's not surprising to see why the spot changed hands between the Crusaders, the forces of Sallah a-Din, and even the Mongol warlords. With steep stone staircases, doorway arches, lookout towers, the castle is the ultimate playground for kids, though the little ones need to be supervised. Walking to the northern ramparts of the castle, you can hear the rush of water from the Guvta stream if the kids are quiet. If you look to the northeast, the Hermon peaks are just visible over the ridgeline.
Just up the road from Nimrod's castle is Majdal Shams, the unofficial capital of the Druze community of the Golan Heights. Though the Druze leaders formally declare their allegiance to Syria, the town gets Israeli government services and there's a cottage tourism industry with restaurants and even a few B&Bs. We stopped to snack on Druze pita wraps with a labeneh cheese and zatar, but, because the kids were falling asleep, we were forced to pass on a sit-down lunch.
About a 20-minute drive south of Majdal Shams on Route 98, there are cherry and apple orchards along the demilitarized buffer zone with Syria. During the fall harvest, you can spend the afternoon cherry and apple picking and then chill out at the orchard cafe. Nearby is Mount Ben-Tal, the site of a defunct bunker complex with a commanding view eastward into Syria. From here you can see the southern face of the Hermon range.
But between the naps of the little children, the necessity for an early bedtime, we couldn't accomplish much beyond lunch, and headed back to the moshav. The drawback of Ramot Naftali is that there are no restaurants on the moshav. Instead we drove 15 minutes to "Amburger," a meat restaurant at the Gomeh junction. The service is efficient, the food tasty and there's a nice family atmosphere (check to see if reservations are necessary).
Our third day began with a debate: do we make the climb to the Hermon ski area to traipse around in the snow with the rest of the country? Do we visit the popular Banias waterfall — a short walk with a small but powerful waterfall at the end? Or do we hit the Gamla nature reserve — like Nimrod's Fortress it's a national park with an entrance fee. We chose Gamla.
Gamla was the capital of the ancient Jewish settlement in the Golan, but it was sacked by the Romans. Visitors can explore the ruins of Gamla, but we set out the path toward the Gamla waterfall — the largest anywhere in Israel.
Though lacking any shade because a dearth of trees, the walk runs through open fields brushed with winter's wild flowers before descending around the edge of a canyon with the waterfall. Vultures slowly glide overhead, giving the canyon a desolate feeling. To the west the canyon gets wider as it leads back toward the Sea of Galilee.
Back at the parking lot, as the sun started descending in the late-afternoon sky, we said goodbye for now to Gamla, Golan and the Hermon, and headed back to Tel Aviv. n

The manner in which parts of the media condemn the various investigations into their conduct highlights how they got into trouble in the first place. In the past, some journalists behaved as if they were above the law. Some appear to expect now a higher threshold of leniency or tolerance compared with everyone else. At the very least they demand a generous sense of proportion that they do not apply when reporting on politicians or others.

Amazon.com Review
But there's another side to the story, and Weaver meets his reader there, too: Where is food headed, and what's an individual to do?
We have seen the rise of hybrid crops in the years since World War II. They are good for the seed business because the grower can't just let a few plants grow to seed, save the seed, then plant that seed next season. Hybridized plants don't yield seed that's true to the character of the plant, so the grower has to return to the seed rack year after year. Buying seed on a commercial level is a big deal, as is growing enough of it to meet the market. A lot of tillable land in South America isn't growing food for hungry South Americans, but growing corn seed for American farmers, and the biggest use of corn in this country is animal feed. Not many hungry South Americans get to eat corn-fed American beef and pork. In one sense, he who controls seed controls food. Or, he who owns seed owns food, and the highest bidder takes all.
Heirloom seed, then, is more than a trinket or curiosity from the past. It represents the chance of survival in the future. Should an as-yet-unknown plant virus come along and take out the American hybrid corn crop (something that has in fact come close to happening), it's the genetic diversity available in heirloom, open-pollinated seeds that will save the bacon. Governments maintain plant gene banks, but individuals can do much the same, and authors like Weaver show how.
What Weaver injects into the tale is the incredible pleasure that comes of growing heirloom crops and saving seed, and of eating from a table laden with 17th- and 18th-century foods. He shares his own history and his family's history, all of it tied up in gardening and sharing and caring. This lovely book is an extension that can reach into any garden being dug today. In other words, don't hesitate with this title, whether history, science, gardening, or a rich enthusiasm for constructive ways the individual can affect the future drives your interest. --Schuyler Ingle

Anthony Davis confirmed on Saturday night that he is going to participate in the skills challenge during NBA All-Star Weekend next month in Toronto.
Davis will join Sacramento Kings' center DeMarcus Cousins, Minnesota Timberwolves rookie center Karl Anthony-Towns and Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green, who are all expected to compete in the event.
It will be the first time the skills challenge will be dominated by frontcourt players instead of guards.The contest is a competition to test passing, ball-handling and shooting ability.
Davis was selected as a reserve by the league's head coaches last week for the Feb. 14 NBA All-Star Game. It will be Davis' third-straight appearance, though he did not play in last year's game because of a shoulder injury.
''I'm excited to represent New Orleans for third time in four years,'' Davis said. ''Hopefully, this time I will get to play and play a lot more than I did my first selection. Just to be on the floor with other great players, it's going to be fun.''
Davis returned from the injury list on Saturday night after missing Thursday night's game against Sacramento due to a concussion. Davis had to pass a series of tests required under the NBA's concussion policy before he could be cleared to play.
In the Pelicans' 105-103 victory against the Brooklyn Nets, Davis scored 20 points, despite missing his first 10 shot attempts. He grabbed 16 rebounds and had two blocks in 40 minutes.
''I thought he had good shots and I told him sometimes they don't go,'' Pelicans Alvin Gentry said about Davis' missing all nine shot attempts in the first half. ''But I thought he came out in the third quarter and really stepped it up and did a good job.''
The Pelicans finished with their first winning month with a 8-6 record in January. New Orleans has won seven of their last nine games, including two straight, to move within just three games of the eighth seed in the Western Conference. The Pelicans' close out their seven-game homestand on Monday night against the Memphis Grizzlies.
''We just play hard with a lot of intensity,'' Davis said. ''The good thing about is that guys stepped up when guys went out. So their confidence is high and we can throw anybody into the game and they can perform. That's all we've tried to do is play team ball and what is going to continue to get us wins is moving the basketball.''

"Dick Baddour is one of the finest gentlemen I have ever known. I can't think of anyone that loves the University of North Carolina more than Dick. For some time I've known that this was probably going to be his last year as athletic director and I worried about how I would handle it. But the suddenness and swiftness of today's action makes it even more difficult. By offering to step aside earlier than expected, he has sacrificed personally for what is best for our student-athletes and University. We should applaud and support him in that decision.
"I've been so fortunate to have known and worked with Dick for many years. He has given 45 wonderful years of service to the University. He has an entire family of Tar Heels.
"Dick was extremely important in my return to UNC eight years ago. I probably would not have come back at that time had he not handled the hiring process the way he did. I will miss working with him a great deal.
"I have been fortunate to work with two fantastic athletic directors in Bob Frederick (at Kansas) and Dick Baddour – they set an unbelievably high standard for any other athletic director to match. They stand for all that is right in college athletics."
