Hezbollah, The EU & You
On Monday morning, the United States awoke to the announcement that after decades of gruesome bombings and terror attacks worldwide, the European Union has voted to designate the "military branch" of Hezbollah a terrorist organization. This unanimous decision was voted on by foreign ministers representing the 28 EU member states and should hinder Hezbollah operations across Europe. Although the distinction between Hezbollah's "political" and "military" wings is tenuous and should be dismissed, this designation must be viewed as a success for those who work to combat anti-Semitism and promote peace across the globe. As such, the American Jewish community should welcome the announcement.
For those of us as the American Jewish Committee (AJC), this designation came none too soon. Over the past several decades, Hezbollah has singled out Jewish institutions and communities worldwide while orchestrating their attacks. Last July, Hezbollah carried out a bloody terrorist attack on a bus in Burgas, Bulgaria in which five Israeli tourists and the Bulgarian bus driver were killed. Hezbollah was responsible for the bombing of the Israeli Embassy in 1992 and the AMIA (Argentine Israelite Mutual Association) Building in 1994. These attacks, which both took place in Buenos Aires, together killed 114 civilians and injured numerous more. Furthermore, in 2006, Israel found itself under siege as Hezbollah fired thousands of rockets and missiles into the northern region of the country. Designating Hezbollah as a terrorist organization serves to protect the state of Israel and the Jewish people worldwide.
For the past several years, AJC leaders across the globe have been working tirelessly towards this designation. We've engaged in direct diplomacy with senior officials of EU member states. We've published op-eds in major media outlets, including the Wall Street Journal and El Pais. We've expressed the urgency of this initiative on the CBS radio network. And here in D.C., leaders of ACCESS, AJC's young professionals' arm, have participated in the diplomatic engagement that makes moments like this possible. From group meetings with leaders of European countries to substantive one-on-one conversations at our annual ACCESS Summit, ACCESS DC leaders contributed to the diplomatic advocacy that ultimately played a significant role in the European Union designating Hezbollah's "military branch" a terrorist organization. As Nelson France, vice chair of ACCESS DC, remarked: "as an ACCESS leader, I have had the privilege of being in private meetings with several EU Ambassadors and Diplomats here in DC, and I can tell you, they are all familiar with AJC's work on this issue." This is global Jewish advocacy in action.
We encourage you to join ACCESS DC and become a part of the forefront of global Jewish advocacy. To learn more about AJC, please click here.

Whether you're headed to the gym for a training session or getting ready to leave your tread on the track for a few rounds of sprints, it's important to have your gym bag essentials on hand.
Most people know to include workout gear for their specific sport—whether it's a weightlifting belt or new minimalist kicks—but it's all too easy to miss these must-haves below.
Before you head out the door for your next workout, make sure you have these seven gym bag essentials packed away.
Resistance Band1 of 8
Resistance bands aren't just portable and versatile, they're also great for warming up joints, since they increase mobility and activate lesser-used muscles with slow and controlled movements.
Warming up with front pull-aparts, where you perform a reverse-fly motion with the band, can help target your shoulders. Lateral walks, where you place the band just above your knees and walk sideways while crouched down in a quarter squat, can help strengthen your abductors, glutes and quads.
Speed Rope2 of 8
Whether the treadmills are taken or you're just looking for a quick way to boost your heart rate with cardio, a jump rope is always a fantastic option. Jump ropes give you total control. You can go for a longer, slower session or ramp things up with high-intensity action.
Jump ropes also allow you to work on your coordination, agility, rhythm, speed and power while torching calories—that's more than can be said for monotonous walks on the treadmill.
Lacrosse Ball3 of 8
The small surface area of a lacrosse ball makes it the perfect tool to relieve tightness in hard to reach spots. Using a lacrosse ball to apply pressure to trigger points—specifically those in your glute, shoulder and hip—can aid in myofascial release and help ease pain or soreness. Think of it as a portable, full-body massage.
Positioning a ball between your back and a wall, while moving in a circular motion, can also ease shoulder pain.
Feet sore from running? Place a lacrosse ball under your foot and roll it around to relax tight arches.
Foam Roller4 of 8
After you've pushed yourself in a workout, it's important to give achy, sore muscles some attention. If the surface area you're targeting is too big for a lacrosse ball, reach for a foam roller.
A post-workout, soft-tissue kneading session is a great way to cool down and prep for your next workout by releasing the stress built up in trigger points and reestablishing proper movement patterns.
Foam rolling always breaks up scar tissue, removes lactic acid build-up and improves circulation
Workout Log5 of 8
In order to know where you're going, you have to know where you've been.
Keeping track of progress is a good thing, and your workout log should have a set place in your gym bag. Knowing the weight you used for certain reps will help your progress in the gym, just as tracking the pace of your 5K practice run will help your goal half-marathon time.
Seeing patterns in your training can also help you pinpoint what works best—whether that's how early to eat prior to training, how much to rest between sets or what time of day is most conducive to your success. On days you're feeling down, looking at how far you've come can help reignite your drive to fight on.
Heart Rate Monitor6 of 8
If you're looking to add some scientific backing to your training—and gauge just how hard you're working—toss a heart rate monitor in your bag.
Heart rate monitors help you maintain the training intensity needed to reach your goals and ensure you're not just spinning your wheels at 30 percent of your max when you're trying to push through an intense HIIT session.
In addition to measuring your level of effort, some of them can even track your progress over time and give you the digital reminder, and motivation, to train harder.
Extra Clothing7 of 8
This one might seem like a no-brainer, but it's often overlooked. Packing an extra pair of leggings or shorts, underwear and a tank can help in a pinch. Not only will you have something to wear if you forget to pack your gym clothes, but you'll have something to change into if your training session leaves you soaking wet.
Even something as small as throwing an extra pair of tennis shoes in your bag can help cut back on excuses to skip your workout by limiting the number of steps standing between you and the gym—because, let's face it, if you have to stop at home after work to change clothes, you'd likely fall into a Netflix binge on the couch.

What is the meaning of life to Phil Zimbardo?
First, to be fully aware of the brevity of human existence, so then to live each day as if it were my last and enjoy as fully as possible every moment's pleasures in nature, friendships, family, human creations, and sexuality.
Next, to believe that I am Immortal and will live forever, so thus must work hard to make life worth living fully for me and the mortals around me. One way I do this is by designing projects that enrich human existence, such as my Heroic Imagination Project (HIP). HIP's mission is to fill the world with generations of Everyday Heroes, who by their daily deeds of transforming compassion into socially significant actions enrich collective existence each day in some way.

very quick on delivery , the watch was exactly as I hoped, shiny, clean and bold.
very happy with my purchase
Rating: Excellent (5 / 5)
Once receiving the product I was greatly delighted. Reciprenting the watch to my mother as a gift, I now Ive made the right decision. To me a watch is a watch along as it works and makes a tick tick sound, though the uniqueness of the bulova watch understandably manufactured from New York America with the blue pearl with a glow of white explains the silver and gold strap I have nothing against a good watch as such. There is three links from the strap to be removed, due to the size of fitting. I understand that some watches do come with a tool for a individual to make their own measures, would this be available for bulova watches.

Esswood House. Home and estate of the Seneschal family, aristocratic patrons of the literary arts for well over a hundred years. D. H. Lawrence, T. S. Eliot, Ford Madox Ford, and Henry James were privileged to call themselves guests and Esswood Fellows. Even minor poets such as Isobel Standish found Esswood's refined atmosphere an inspiration for her work. There was always talk of a hidden secret in Esswood's past - and the Seneschal children were often so pale and sickly - but don't all English manor houses have a few ghost stories to call their own?
When Professor William Standish receives the rare honor of an Esswood Fellowship, and the chance to study Isobel's private manuscripts at close hand, he is thrilled beyond his wildest ambitions. But upon arriving, something seems slightly strange at Esswood House. He hears faint laughter in the halls, the pitter-pattering of small feet in the night; strange faces appear in the windows of the library, and of course, there are those giant dollhouses in the basement....
Never before published as a separate volume, Mrs. God is a very different kind of ghost story from one of America's most celebrated authors.
©2012 Peter Straub (P)2012 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"Peter Straub is a national treasure." (Lawrence Block)
"Buy HOUSES WITHOUT DOORS Instead of MRS. GOD"
This story is 1 of a number of stories in HOUSES WITH DOORS. If you are going to spend 1 credit, you may as well get more for your money.
"Straub succeeds in abstraction, but in horror?"
Peter Straub is a fine writer of thrillers and horror fiction. He is humorous and brave. I will gladly travel down any road he cares to leave bread crumbs down.
I think the young Straub has bitten off a lot to chew here. He has not left all of his ends neatly lied off. However, there is at it's core a gem of a good little tale that is original and one of the roots of better stories to come.
Do not make this your first Peter Straub. This is a deep cuts selection for certain.

Senate Passes Bill to Reduce Mercury in Light Bulbs
State Senator Hugh T. Farley (R, C, I - Schenectady) announced that he and his colleagues in the New York State Senate recently passed legislation that prohibits the sale of light bulbs that contain high levels of mercury – a known hazardous chemical. The bill (S7004) would protect the environment and public health by reducing the amount of mercury that ends up in homes and the waste stream.
The Federal Government is working to move consumers away from incandescent light bulbs, which is a good way to save energy, but it can also present a new hazard in the waste stream if those bulbs are not limited in the amount of mercury they can contain. This legislation details the amount of mercury to be allowed in fluorescent lamps, and normal lifetime and long lifetime bulbs.

Winter 2002 Newsletter: This Is Your Reasonable Service
Publish date: Jun 22, 2009
|Share with others:
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. (Romans 12:1)
"Reasonable" can mean sensible, moderate, or balanced. God expects us to use our knowledge to act wisely and not to be moved by fanaticism, haste, emotions, or fear.
This applies not only to our spiritual life, but also to our diet, exercise program, medicine choices, and home remedies. God, in His mercy and wisdom, has given us specific instructions in His Word, and now in these last days in the writings of Ellen White.Diet Extremes
First of all, let us look at the modern trend of extremes in diet. Our Creator chose the ideal diet for us: fruits, nuts, grains, legumes, and vegetables. We can't improve on God's method. We do not need to resort to animal products, except in some extreme cases, or extreme climates, or extreme situations.
There have been many extreme diets in our day. Take fasting for example. Jesus fasted 40 days and so did Moses, but a number of individuals have died when trying to do the same. We should fast a day or two, or a meal or two, but not more than five days. This is the instruction of E. G. White (Counsel on Diet and Foods 185-191).
Another fad of our day is to go on a juice diet. Again, this is fine for a day or two, but the body needs fibre, and God gave us teeth to thoroughly chew our food. This juice diet can be devastating to diabetics as well as some individuals with other illnesses.
The "raw foods only" diet is another dangerous fad. We should probably eat more raw foods. Going on a raw food diet for a few days is certainly fine. But this not God's design outside the Garden of Eden (Exodus 16:23, 1 Kings 19:6-9, Ezekiel 4:9). There is a whole section in Counsels on Diet and Foods on the blessings of bread. Grains are to be thoroughly baked or cooked, and they constitute a staple in a healthy diet (Counsel on Diet and Foods, 315-321).
It is true that eating raw fruits and vegetables in a meal helps digestion, but some vegetables are better cooked because they contain harmful toxins. For example, when eaten raw in large amounts, sweet potatoes and yams can cause severe indigestion and in some cases even death. Some members of the bean family also contain enzymes that if ingested raw can cause digestion problems. In both cases, cooking deactivates the toxic enzymes.
The big issue is balance—following the examples and instruction God has given us.
Medicinal Extremes
When it comes to medical practices, so many people go to extremes. Yes, it is wise to use natural remedies where appropriate. We have a great deal of instruction in the Spirit of Prophecy regarding natural remedies. But Mrs. White also instructed our church leaders to develop medical schools that were to be of the "highest order" to train highly qualified health professionals. Just because a remedy is natural does not mean it's good. Tobacco, marijuana, cocaine, betel nut, magnetism, and hypnosis are all quite natural by most standards, but they are certainly not of divine origin.
Some folks are against all drugs. Some say E. G. White was against all drugs. However, Dr. Mervyn Harding has written a very comprehensive book regarding Ellen White's counsel on the use of drugs entitled Drugs, Herbs and Natural Remedies. In fact, Mrs. White used tea and coffee as medicine. She had radiation therapy for facial cancer. She had her staff vaccinated against small pox, advised the use of Quinine for malaria, and showed many more examples of balance in medicine.
About 70% of all medicines are of plant origin. However, once the medicinal compound is chemically analyzed, it is often cheaper to synthesize it rather than pay the labor costs of gathering the plant material.
In nature, one plant of the same species can be chemically different from another. Also many so-called medicines may not be pure, proven by scientific methods, or contain the amount of the medicine as the next batch of pills. For these reasons, synthetic medicines can be safer. I'm not against natural medicines. I endorse hydrotherapy, some herbs, and E. G. White's eight natural remedies in Ministry of Healing. But just because some pills can and have caused disastrous results, one should not throw out all the modern medicine. Herbal remedies have also caused deaths.
So my advice is this: pray for guidance. Be like the Bereans, and search out every principle and practice in the Word of God and the Spirit of Prophecy. God has promised to instruct and teach us (Psalm 32:8).

"Nine years ago, we witnessed the worst terrorist attack in our nation's history. Though the planes crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania, the effects were felt across the country and around the world. In Alabama, our thoughts and prayers were- and still remain- with the victims and the families of those who lost their lives on this fateful day.
"The America that emerged after that day, however, was both stronger and more united. Suddenly, we focused on what united us rather than what divided us. We also came to appreciate those whose sacrifices too often go unrecognized: our first responders. They were the true heroes of that day and they continue to be heroes in their respective communities across the United States.
"Nine years later, the legacy of September 11th is the everlasting resolve of the American people and of our ability to confront any challenge in front of us. Our soldiers defending our freedoms overseas continue to bravely confront those challenges on a daily basis, and we owe them our unending gratitude.
"As we remember those who lost their lives, we should also reflect on the privilege we have to live in the greatest country in the history of the world. We are truly blessed, and we should all be proud to call ourselves Americans on this solemn day of remembrance."

Return to Treasure Island
This Thursday, San Francisco's Planning Commission is expected to approve one of the most anticipated developments in the city's history: the reconstruction of the former naval base on Treasure Island into living space for 19,000 residents.
John King looks at the challenges facing the Treasure Island development, which was constructed in 1937 for the upcoming World's Fair and eyed as a potential new airport for the area:
"The 403-acre oval in the middle of the bay boasts a uniquely captivating setting, but its soil could turn to jelly in a major earthquake. Residents would live just 1.5 miles from downtown San Francisco, but the journey by car involves the perennially sluggish Bay Bridge."

A Fair Trade Book
Book Title: Life 101
Authors: John Roger and Peter McWilliams
Date: 1991
Publisher: Prelude Press
Length: 400 pages
Quote: "We call this book Life 101 because it contains all the things we wish we had learned about life in school but, for the most part, did not."
In the 1980s, stores near my school sold a book of practical advice for young students. I don't remember whether Life 101 was in its title, or subtitle, or blurb-on-the-jacket. I remember that it discussed things like changing tires and cleaning filters, and other things people renting their first furnished rooms needed to know.
Many years later, I found this rather large paperback book and wondered whether it was an expanded version of that practical little book I remembered. The simplest way to review Life 101 is to say that it wasn't.
What the McWilliams brothers have to offer is a philosophical outlook on life that was popular with New Agers and the human potential school of psychotherapists in the 1980s and 1990s. By 1991 a backlash had begun. Some Christian groups had pronounced the McWilliams' philosophy heretical; I'd already reality-checked it and found it unhelpful.
"Accept reality." Why is that not helpful? First of all, this phrase uses the word "accept" in an incorrect way. To accept something literally means to pick it up in your hands, as when you pick up a package at the post office and take it home. Neither a situation, nor a person, nor "reality" can be accepted in the literal sense, so what is "accept reality" supposed to mean, and why can't the person speaking use the verb that fits whatever is in his or her mind? The McWilliams brothers are using "accept" as an alternative to "deny"; they're advising readers not to live in denial, like a sick patient who may actually believe that he's gone back fifty years in time and that the grandson to whom he's speaking now is the brother who died forty years ago, or like an alcoholic who won't admit that she drinks too much. The average person reading Life 101 is probably not living in denial. The reader of this book may be more interested in changing tires than in trying to change his or her emotions, but probably perceives reality about as efficiently as the rest of us do.
Several words that describe things most of us do, relative to "reality," would fit this context better than "accept." What about "acknowledge," "perceive," "face," "consider," "evaluate," "understand," or "be aware of"? Those words didn't sound "dynamic" enough for the philosophy the McWilliams brothers are preaching. Preachers of this philosophy wanted a word that seemed to mean something active and cheerful. And why was the subjective emotional tone of the word so important? Because what they were actually about to say was something like "Just tell yourself you like whatever's on your mind, because I'm emotionally enmeshed with your moods but I don't intend to do anything to help with your actual situation."
In a word: unhelpful. I think Life 101 is likely to be most useful to the critical reader who wants to write a study of "Lies My Therapist Told Me, or Feel-Good Ideas That Leave People Feeling Bad." Life 101 is a great source of the quotes, the oh-so-insightful bad puns, and the whole popular philosophy of the 1980s. It is valuable for studying this period in historical perspective.
If you're looking for advice you can use in your life, this web site recommends that you read the Bible.

|After dinner, we met up with Maura & Bryan for drinks, and then we all met up with Brandon, his buddy Yo, Susan, and some of her friends. I had this delicious drink which was Milagro Silver + Cucumber Juice + Lemon Juice + Cilantro + Tobasco. Holy tobasco it was spicy! And GOOD :) Then it was time to hit the sack... a long day ahead awaited us!
|We woke up the next morning, Abbe made some coffee, and we planned out our day: a nice run, the marathon expo, meet up with friends for lunch, chillax some more, and then pre-Marathon dinner at Maura & Bryans.
|Of course we had to stop to pose for lots of adorable pictures along our run through Boston. Check out that beautiful blue sky!
|We then stopped by the expo so Bakes could pick up his bib & a marathon jacket. While there, we bumped into the beautiful Susan and hung with her for a bit as we made our way to Zensah and Sparkly Soul to say hi to more buddies.
|After the Expo, we headed to the Barking Crab for lunch which is pretty awesome! The food was great, the view was of the water, and there was reggae playing in the background. Once again, fun, fun, fun!
|After a quick rest, we headed to Maura & Bryans to hang and then make dinner. Abbe made her delicious Kale Pesto with Shrimp and she was fabulous enough to set some aside for me, without the shrimp also, so I could use on my gluten free spaghetti. I made a Kale, Grapefruit & Avocado salad. Dessert was fresh papaya, dark chocolate, wine & cheese. We were all pretty happy and wished Bakes good luck as he and Abbe head out to their hotel for the night.
|I stayed at Maura & Bryan's for the evening and we were up late working on our very important race poster!
|Abbe, Maura & I met up at a spot just before the 24 mile mark to cheer. We were in front of Neena's which had a display showing the temperature. This is what it looked like as the day continued.
|We also made new friends which proved extremely important while taking pictures cause The Dudes, as I so affectionately called them, kept asking people to step back behind me so I could get good shots. They were 23 years old and asked me & Abbe where we went to college. That was awesome :) Also awesome? Getting to finally meet the lovely Kelly from Meals for Miles. Love her!
|Then it was time for the wheelchair racers to fly by. They were fast & AMAZING!
|Next up were the women's elites. These 2 would later duke it out at the finish line.
|Check out the look on Killel's face! It was hot and intense out there, and even the elites were struggling.
|Next came the men!
|And finally, our friends started to approach! The hairy dude in the red is Kevin. Yes, he ran in almost 100 degrees with all that fur... hot.
|And then we saw Claire who was loving every minute of the race (that's a complete lie). We all got sweaty delicious hugs and then sent her on her way for another 2 miles of non stop fun (sarcasm). I also saw Lindsay and screamed out her name, and did my best to find Megan but with no luck.
I could go on and on.... the women in this race were so freaking strong & inspiring... the determination.... the pain..... the heat... but I will close with these thoughts. I love the running community and I love running. I hope that one day, with lots of work, I too will run Boston. Kudos to all who decided to run on that very hot day, as well as to those who didn't. I hope no matter what your decision was, you know that it was the right one for you. I learned that if I were to ever face a long distance run in hot weather, I wouldn't run it but am happy for those who did and would. And for those who did run it, congratulations on a strong performance at a really tough race.
And now for the slideshow of all my pics. Hope they inspire you as much as they do me!

International aid groups rushed to respond today to a massive earthquake in Nepal that claimed more than 1,000 lives as aftershocks and severed communications hampered rescue efforts.
"We do not yet know the scope of the damage, but this could be one of the deadliest and most devastating earthquakes since the 1934 tremor which devastated Nepal and Bihar," said Jagan Chapagain, Asia/Pacific director of the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).
The IFCR said it was extremely concerned about the fate of rural villages close to the epicentre of the quake, some 80 kilometres from the capital Kathmandu.
"Roads have been damaged or blocked by landslides and communication lines are down preventing us from reaching local Red Cross branches to get accurate information," said Chapagain in a statement.
"We anticipate that there will be considerable destruction and loss of life."
Other aid organisations responding to the emergency also struggled to assess the needs with communications cut off around the Himalayan nation.
"Communication is currently very difficult. Telephone lines are down and the electricity has been cut off making charging mobile phones difficult," said Cecilia Keizer, Oxfam country director in Nepal.
"People are gathered in their thousands in open spaces and are scared as there have been several aftershocks," she added.
French aid group Action Against Hunger (ACF) said in a statement its teams in Nepal "were on their way to the affected areas to assess the damage and the needs" to mount a humanitarian response.
Nations around world have also reacted to the deadly 7.8 magnitude quake that rocked Nepal.
The United States is sending a disaster response team and has authorised an initial USD 1 million in aid to address immediate needs, the US Agency for International Development said.
The European Union also said its humanitarian experts were heading to the crisis areas.
"The full extent of the casualties and damage is still unknown but reports indicate they will likely be high, both in terms of loss of life, injuries and damage to cultural heritage," the EU statement said.
Condolences to the Nepalese people and all those affected by the devastating quake came from leaders across the globe, including China's Xi Jinping, France's Francois Hollande and Russia's Vladimir Putin.
In Europe, Britain, Germany and Spain also pledged support and assistance, with Norway promising to provide 30 million krone (USD 3.9 million, 3.5 million euros) in humanitarian aid.
"It is now important to get an overview of what the needs are so that relief efforts can be brought in as quickly and efficiently as possible. The funds will be channelled through the UN system and NGOs," said Norwegian Foreign Minister Borge Brende in a statement.

It would appear the infamous risig wedge is being violated but time will tell.In the meantime ill continue attempting small scalps lon and short but with a downside bias.
oops...cover one at 1267.75, stop on remaining one at breakeven 1269.75
hmmm...ill cover remaining short at 1267.75 if i dont hit my stop first.
breakeven stop hit
Long from 68.25. I think I may keep this one a while. Buying support is so strong at the line...
buying 1268.25
4 point stop. Big for me, but i like the action down here and have to allow for one more run.
broke even. I'll wait for the bounce.
we open in the 71 area and close in the 68.50 area...not much selling in the day session...interesting indeed....

The epic grandeur of Dante's masterpiece has inspired readers for 700 years, and has entered the human imagination. But the further we move from the late medieval world of Dante, the more a rich understanding and enjoyment of the poem depends on knowledgeable guidance. Robert Hollander, a renowned scholar and master teacher of Dante, and Jean Hollander, an accomplished poet, have written a beautifully accurate and clear verse translation of the first volume of Dante's epic poem, the Divine Comedy. Featuring the original Italian text opposite the translation, this edition also offers an extensive and accessible introduction and generous commentaries that draw on centuries of scholarship as well as Robert Hollander's own decades of teaching and research. The Hollander translation is the new standard in English of this essential work of world literature.
The opening canzone of Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy has appeared in almost every imaginable variety of English translation: prose, blank verse and iambic pentameter; unrhymed or in terza rima; with and without the original Italian; with commentary ranging from a few notes to a full separate volume. The translations have been produced by poets, scholars and poet-scholars. In the past six years alone, six new translations of the Inferno have appeared (including Robert Pinsky's 1994 rendition for FSG) and at least 10 others remain in print, including Allen Mandelbaum's celebrated 1980 translation (Univ. of Calif. Press and Bantam) and the extensively annotated editions of Charles Singleton (Princeton Univ. Press) and Mark Musa (Univ. of Indiana Press), the latter two unlikely to be surpassed soon in terms of extensiveness of commentary. Dante scholar Robert Hollander and the poet Jean Hollander bring to this crowded market a new translation of the Inferno that, remarkably, is by no means redundant and will for many be the definitive edition for the foreseeable future. The heart of the Hollanders' edition is the translation itself, which nicely balances the precision required for a much-interpreted allegory and the poetic qualities that draw most readers to the work. The result is a terse, lean Dante with its own kind of beauty. While Mandelbaum's translation begins "When I had journeyed half of our life's way,/ I found myself within a shadowed forest,/ for I had lost the path that does not stray," the Hollanders' rendition reads: "Midway in the journey of our life/ I came to myself in a dark wood,/ for the straight way was lost." While there will be debate about the relative poetic merit of this new translation in comparison to the accomplishments of Mandelbaum, Pinsky, Zappulla and others, the Hollanders' lines will satisfy both the poetry lover and scholar; they are at once literary, accessible and possessed of the seeming transparence that often characterizes great translations. The Italian text is included on the facing page for easy reference, along with notes drawing on some 60 Dante scholars, several indexes, a list of works cited and an introduction by Robert Hollander. General readers, students and scholars will all find their favorite circles within this layered text. Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.

Jackson, MI (PressExposure) September 19, 2012 -- The documentary No Horizon Anymore is to premiere at the Jaxon Film Fest. Filmed by documentarian Keith Reimink it captures the struggles of living at the Antarctica, the literal bottom of the earth, a place fewer than 2,000 people have ever spent a winter. It will be but one of the documentaries which will screen at the Carnegie Branch Library auditorium, 244 W. Michigan Ave., Jackson, MI, September 29th.
Says film festival director David W. King, "We have been excited by the quality of the films we have received this first year of our film festival. But we are particularly excited to be able to premiere this documentary. Few people have ever been to the South Pole, let alone been able to capture what living conditions are like there for a full year. Filmmaker Keith Reimink has done that. And we have been given the privilege of being the first to share this documentary with the world."
To present his film, Keith Reimink will be appear at the Carnegie Branch Library afterwards for a Q & A, and a possible autograph signing. Meet Keith Reimink in person
About No Horizon Anymore:
'No Horizon Anymore' offers unique glimpse into life at the South Pole
Fewer than 2,000 people have spent a winter at the South Pole, where night lasts months and every direction is north. When filmmaker Keith Reimink signed a contract to spend a year cooking at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station and join this exclusive club, he had no idea what to expect. How would the experience change him? Reimink decided to investigate with his camera. His film, "No Horizon Anymore," offers a singular glimpse at a continent steeped in madness and mystery -- and the people who are drawn to it.
"Everyone loves 'March of the Penguins' and 'Frozen Planet' because they are unique and beautiful," Reimink said. "But there is another side to Antarctica -- a year-round rotating staff of people from all ages and walks of life that come to Antarctica and the Pole because it is a lifestyle. There's the buzz of a South Pole summer, when the research facility teems with activity and people. There's the year-round research into fundamental questions about our planet and universe. There's the awe-inspiring sight of the Antarctic sunrise and sunset, each of which occur only once a year."
The South Pole is beautiful, it is pristine. Making its debut at the Jaxon Film Festival in Jackson, Michigan, Reimink's film is a must see for adventurers and polar enthusiasts alike.

5 fall 2012 housing trends
Homebuyers and refinancers seeking the best deal possible: You are running out of time.
While it's too early to even consider calling this a seller's market, buyers will have to work a little harder to find the home of their dreams at a bargain this fall. That's especially true for those who want a newly built home.
You may get a good deal on a short sale as long as you are willing to wait. After new rules go into effect this fall, the short-selling process might be less painful than it is now.
If you are not interested in buying, selling or refinancing your home, that might be because you are too busy with home improvement projects. If that's the case, know that you are not alone.
Here are five housing trends you can expect to see this fall.
Homebuyers, the market's just not that into you
Potential homebuyers entering the housing market this fall will face a harsh and somewhat confusing reality: It looks like a buyer's market, but it's not.
The inventory of for-sale homes, including foreclosed properties, continues to shrink in many parts of the country. As a result, it will probably take longer for buyers to find their ideal home. And they may not necessarily find the bargains they expect.
"Yes, there are good deals today, especially in the distressed-property market," says Shaun White, a vice president for the Re/Max real estate network. "But because the inventory is so greatly reduced, it is more difficult to get your offer accepted. There are bidding wars going on in many parts of the country."
The average inventory of homes for sale nationwide was about 4.6 months in August, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
But the market hasn't really turned into a seller's market yet. Many underwater homeowners have taken their homes off the market, contributing to the low inventory levels. And there are millions of foreclosures in the pipeline that will eventually hit the for-sale market.
"There are still a lot of foreclosure properties that we have to work through," White says. "We won't have a sustainable recovery until that happens."
Last chance to refi?
Mortgage rates are being pulled in different directions. Borrowers who want to grab a low rate should act before the tug of war is over.
The Federal Reserve has been doing whatever it can to hold rates down, including printing billions of dollars per month to buy mortgage bonds. But higher mortgage fees, imposed by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, will push rates up this fall.
Starting Nov. 1, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will raise the guarantee fees they charge loan originators. On average, the increase translates into about a quarter of 1 percentage point in interest.
It's almost like the higher fees will be canceled out by the Fed's open-ended buying program, or QE3, says Brett Sinnott, director of secondary marketing at CMG Mortgage Group in San Ramon, Calif.
Rates will likely stay near the lows until the election, he says. What happens next is anyone's guess.
"What if after the election, they say, 'We're stopping (the bond-buying program) tomorrow,'" Sinnott says.
Borrowers who are on the fence should act soon.
"There is no reason to hold off on refinancing at these levels," he says.
Return of the remodel
It's time to revisit that list of home improvement projects you keep putting off. As home prices stabilize, more homeowners will tackle remodeling projects this fall.
Spending on home renovations is expected to increase to $120.7 billion in the fourth quarter of this year from $114 billion in the fourth quarter of 2011, according to data from the Remodeling Futures Program at the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University.
Despite the growth in remodeling activity, homeowners needn't worry about rising building material prices or potential shortages of labor, says Stephen Melman, director of economic services for the National Association of Home Builders, or NAHB.
"Some prices have gone up, but I don't think that's going to be a holdback on remodeling," he says.
Fall is a great time to get materials at a discount as home improvement stores unload their summer inventory.
As you decide which projects to tackle first, it's wise to check your windows and consider adding insulation before winter arrives.
Kitchen and bathroom remodeling remain at the top of many homeowners' wish lists, according to the NAHB. "The most popular large project has been bathrooms," Melman says. "It's also less expensive than doing a kitchen."
A new hope for short sales
A series of new short-sale guidelines that go into effect Nov. 1 are supposed to make the process of short selling easier and speedier.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will allow servicers to streamline the short-sale process for borrowers who are in financial hardship and homeowners who have to sell their homes because of a divorce, disability or job transfer.
The expedited process will open the door to more short sales as an alternative to foreclosures, White says.
"Since this crisis began, the short-sale process has been difficult," White says. "Consumers have been frustrated by the process. But we are starting to see changes already."
Short-sale specialist Patty Da Silva says she hopes servicers will embrace the rules, but she is skeptical.
On average, it still takes at least six months to sell a house through short sale, says Da Silva, owner of Green Realty Properties in Davie, Fla.
Under Fannie and Freddie's new guidelines, servicers must respond to a short-sale request within 30 days and give the borrower a final decision within 60 days.
The tight market strikes back
If you are on the market to buy a newly built home, expect to find fewer choices and scarcer discounts.
The inventory of new houses for sale is at a record low. As of July, there were about 142,000 newly constructed homes for sale in the United States, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
"Basically, builders have stopped building for the last three years, and the industry has come to a virtual halt," Melman says.
As the housing market improves, homebuilders have slowly started to build again. But it is going to take at least two years before the availability of new homes for sale significantly improves, Melman says.
At the current sales pace, the inventory of new homes is enough to last about 4.6 months. A balanced market usually is about six months.
Because of the low inventory, builders face less competition. For buyers, that means fewer incentives and discounts.
That doesn't mean you should pay what the builder wants. There is always room for negotiation.
"I think the builders are going to continue to offer some incentives but not to the extent they did in the depth of the crisis," Melman says.

Costa Brava terror alert: Anger after flash mob sparks ISIS terror attack fears
THIS is the moment a flash mob sparked fears of an ISIS terror attack at a Spanish resort popular with Brit holidaymakers.
The youngsters armed themselves with selfie sticks and tripods and simulated they were chasing after a celeb as they ran through the Costa Brava resort of Platja d'Aro after organising the get-together on social media.
But locals and other tourists mistook the ill-advised game for a terrorist attack as they heard shouting in a foreign language and confused the selfie sticks for guns.
Hundreds of people ran for safety, knocking over tables and chairs in their rush to get away as they abandoned restaurant meals and brought traffic to a stop in the centre of the resort, originally a small fishing village but now a major coastal resort popular mainly with Catalans and northern Europeans.
"The scene caused a stampede in which hundreds of people fled without knowing why, encouraged by the shouts of other people who said shots were being fired in the centre"La Vanguardia
Some shops even closed and offered refuge to panicked locals during the initial minutes of the scare and several people are said to have been treated for panic attacks.
Police and emergency services coordinators took to Twitter to try to calm nerves and rule out fears of a terror attack after it became apparent the blame lay at the door of a group of German tourists thought to be staying on a nearby campsite.
The incident happened around 10pm last night/on Tuesday night in the central S'Agaro avenue near the tourist office.
Ignasi Sibils, who was dining with his wife and his eight-month-old nephew on a restaurant terrace in the area, told Spanish daily El Pais how they had been caught up in an avalanche of around 400 people who had literally knocked their table flying as they fled screaming: "Run and hide."
Catalunya Emergencies, an emergency response coordination centre which received more than 100 calls alerting them to the drama from those caught up in it, tweeted: "Important message. In Platja d'Aro there have been incidents in the public highway because of a flash mob or something similar which has provoked a stampede. No shots have been fired."
And regional police force Mossos d'Esquadra followed with a social media alert which confirmed: "The Platja d'Aro incident is a false alarm. Don't spread false rumours which are not contrasted with official sources."
Police confirmed they were questioning two people suspected of organising the flash mob as their actions were criticised by local politicians and officials.
Spain is currently on high anti-terror alert, level four out of a threat level scale of one to five, and law enforcement agencies have prepared for a repeat of the recent atrocities of Nice and Munich.
Local councillor Dolors Guirado said the incident had sparked "an horrendous panic" and the town hall said it was studying whether to take action against those who had sparked the chaotic scenes.
National Police took to Twitter to broadcast a "warning to idiots", stating: "Simulating an attack and faking a terror alert can be a crime" and warning it carried a three-month prison sentence.
Local reports said as many as 200 people had taken part in the flash mob, the name given to a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place to perform an unusual and seemingly pointless act for a brief time before dispersing.
The term was coined in 2003 after more than 130 people converted on the ninth floor of Macy's department store in Manhattan after being told to say when approached by a sales assistant that they were living together in a warehouse on the outskirts of New York and were shopping for a "love rug."
Flash mobs are normally organised via social media or viral emails for the purpose of entertainment, satire and artistic expression.
A local town hall source said: "When someone runs, the rest tend to run as well and it's something that's very difficult to stop."
A spokesman for the Mossos d'Esquadra in Girona confirmed overnight: "Those responsible for the incidents in Platja d'Aro are being questioned with a view to clarifying the situation."
Respected regional daily La Vanguardia said: "More than 200 people, brought together over social media by two German tourists, staged a performance last night in Platja d'Aro.
"It should have been fun. The situation consisted in simulating that a famous person was fleeing from the tabloid press. The supposed paparazzis began to run after their target with selfie sticks, cameras and a lot of shouting.
"The scene caused a stampede in which hundreds of people fled without knowing why, encouraged by the shouts of other people who said shots were being fired in the centre."
Two people with heart conditions are said to have been kept in hospital overnight after suffering panic attacks and two others were treated for scratches and bruises they suffered in the rush to get away.
One source said: "The alarm wasn't real but the fear and the panic caused in a resort packed with tourists who were enjoying an evening stroll through the centre was."

On Sept. 17, the Navy football team came within a whisker of engineering what would have been a monumental upset at then-No. 10 South Carolina thanks in large part to a defense that limited long gains. That's been the unit's blueprint since Buddy Green became defensive coordinator 10 years ago, allowing the Midshipmen to thrive despite often facing considerable disadvantages in size and speed.
Lately, though, the defense has been especially susceptible to such plays, including three of at least 30 yards in Saturday's 63-35 loss to Southern Mississippi, which sent Navy to its first three-game losing streak since 2002. The Midshipmen have permitted five plays of 30 yards or longer over the past two games after giving up two in the first three weeks.
Those substantial gains have contributed to Navy's defense surrendering 13 touchdowns and 943 yards the last two weeks, starting with a 35-34 overtime loss to Air Force in which quarterback Tim Jefferson completed a 52-yard touchdown pass to Ty MacArthur for the first points of the game.
Failure to stop opponents on third down also has been troublesome. Navy ranks 119th out of 120 Football Bowl Subdivision teams in third-down defense, and over the last two games has allowed opponents to convert 17 of 24 attempts.
So this week, Green and his staff committed to a thorough accounting of personnel, scheme and fundamentals during practice to correct those flaws and ensure a more robust performance against Rutgers this weekend.
"We got totally dominated," Green said. "We didn't get off blocks. We couldn't get any pass rush. We missed too many tackles. We got dominated Saturday. That's the bottom line. We've got to go back to getting more people to the ball, and when we miss tackles or when guys don't get off blocks, somebody else has got to be there to pick him up.."
In its most recent game, Navy's defense did not step onto the field until there were 3 minutes 59 seconds left in the first quarter. By then, the Golden Eagles had a 7-0 lead when a blocked field goal led to a 79-yard return for a touchdown on the Midshipmen's opening series.
After holding Southern Miss to three yards on its first two snaps, the Golden Eagles got a 77-yard pass from quarterback Austin Davis to tight end Ryan Balentine to the 19-yard line. Four plays later, Southern Miss reached the end zone, and the defense continued to unravel from that point.
The Golden Eagles converted four consecutive third downs in the first half before Navy stopped them. Then, on its second possession of the third quarter, Southern Miss amassed six yards on third and four and 35 yards on third and one en route to a touchdown that made it 42-14 with 9:40 left.
"Our pride's been hurt on defense," Navy Coach Ken Niumatalolo said. "We're a very proud defensive team. We've been a team that's prided itself on playing hard-nosed football, and these last two weeks have been uncharacteristic for us. Our deal is we're going to go back and do what we do and just go to the basics. I've great faith that we'll respond. That wasn't us. That's not who we've been."
The confounding part is that the Midshipmen have regressed defensively despite having a full complement of players, at least before this most recent game. Against South Carolina, Navy was without three outside linebackers, including then-starters Jarred Shannon and Mason Graham, yet was able to keep South Carolina, which features several NFL prospects on offense, to 11 points less than its average. Shannon played the past two weeks but did not start, and Graham returned against Southern Miss as a reserve.
Juniors Brye French and Tra'ves Bush have started at outside linebacker for the last three games. Bush began the season as a safety but has distinguished himself at his new position with 32 tackles, second on the team. French, meantime, is fifth on Navy in tackles after missing all but three games last season with a shoulder injury.
"Right now we're lost, to be honest," senior defensive end and co-captain Jabaree Tuani said. "I mean we're stunned. This is devastating for our season right now. Whatever we've got to do this week, whatever it may be, we're going to work on the field, off the field, watch tape in our free time. We've got to find a way to go where we need to because right now we're going backward."

Update on encryption issue post the Paris attacks
A couple days ago, I posted comments about the tension between the need for reliable and totally secure encryption and the needs for law enforcement to be able to access messages with the goal of finding terrorists before they act. See Privacy in the Wake of the Paris Attacks.
An article in today's Boston Globe entitled In the age of ISIS, privacy still matters by Hiawatha Bray reminded me about a crucial element that needs to be considered in this discourse: Even if the US and/or other western countries require encryption "back doors" in technology going forward, there are plenty of opportunity for terrorists and criminals to acquire and use secure communication apps that will not support such back doors.
This is no different than the problems of regulating criminal activity on-line. As long as the technology is developed in another country, it can't be effectively regulated in the US.
In the rush to address to provide a very real but elusive law enforcement capability, the end result will certainly have significant adverse impact to our nation's on-line and computer leadership, as well as to your data's security and privacy.

spoke count?
does spoke count have anything to do with strength of the wheel? i've been riding a 20 spoke in front and a 24 in rear, and it has been fine, got a differant bike with corroded nipples and the same spoke counts and the front spoke snapped. now looking into different wheels, found a great deal, but it is a 18 spoke count front and 20 spoke rear, and it makes me hesitant to buy them, especially if spokes/nipples are going to constantly snap.
Yes it can. Less skilled wheel builders often compensate for their lack of skill with more spokes. ;) The most important thing with wheels is the skill of the wheel builder. I've owned a set of 16 spoke wheels for over 10 years and a ton of miles (I run between 230-250lbs and ride as much as 10k miles/yr) . Just this year the rear broke it's first spoke so I had the whole wheel re-done. I expect it to last more than 10 years this time (I don't use it as much any more :))
The wheels with corroded nipples probably need to be replaced or rebuilt. If you buy the 18/20 spoke wheel set I would ride them for 100 miles or so then take them to a good wheel builder and have it retensioned. You should then have a wheel that will last for a good long time.
Yes, spoke count is important to wheel strength. The spokes are what support your most of your weight, not the rims (though the rims do add rigidity). To support your weight, the spokes need adequate tension...otherwise they will go through a more severe compression / expansion cycle each time the wheel goes around, leading to metal fatigue and spoke failure. If they have enough tension, they will not compress as much. With more spokes, the required tension from each one to adequately support your weight is less, so there is more margin for error. Thus you can get away with a sloppier wheel build with more spokes. But if you have less spokes, each one needs to have higher tension. Spokes (new ones anyway) have a very high tensile strength and are stronger than the rim, so the danger of overtightening them is that they can crack your rim. Rim manufacturers specify the maximum tension that is safe for their rims.
Spoke count for many riders is related to weight.. I have 2 wheels - a Mavic Aksium and Velcoity Aerohead and the Aksium which is 24 spoke rear wheel is 30 grams heavier than my 36 spoke Velocity Aerohead..
The 36 hole aerohead was built up with 14g straight spoke and brass nipples and still came in at 950 grams.. Sure you can buy something lighter by 100-200 grams but you will be giving up a little bit in overall strength..
There are some lower spoke count wheels that are in the $1500+ range that are just as stiff but you pay a premium for those wheels.. I have a set of eurus that I use on fast training rides and centuries but most people are just looking for a solid everyday training wheel..
The other thing to keep in mind is the repairability of a low spoke count wheel when a spoke does break - I'm talking about a field repair, getting the rim true enough to ride slowly back to your car or a bike shop. With a 32 or 36 spoke wheel, you're a lot more likely to be able to wrap the broken spoke around a nearby spoke and limp in. When I broke a spoke on my Neuvation wheel (24 spokes, 27mm deep rims) we couldn't true it up enough to ride on and I needed to hitch a ride. Even with the rear brake caliper opened up all the way, the rim was still rubbing in two places (one on the left, one on the right....). Fortunately, it happened right after the end of the Tour de Tucson, when a stupid recumbent rider (apparently going for a PB) crashed hard into me while I was lining up to turn in the timing chip. I didn't fall, but everyone around me heard the crash. There were lots of friends around, so getting a ride back to the hotel was not a problem.
