Cours Julien
No address is more telling of the city's extravagant cultural diversity than cours Julien, an elongated square with a fountain that has long dried up and an exotic forest of palm trees, beneath which neighbourhood kids play football.
No address is more telling of the city's extravagant cultural diversity than cours Julien, an elongated square with a fountain that has long dried up and an exotic forest of palm trees, beneath which neighbourhood kids play football.
From the Vieux Port, hike north up to this fantastic history-woven quarter, dubbed Marseille's Montmartre as much for its sloping streets as its artsy ambience. In Greek Massilia it was the site of the agora (marketplace), hence its name, which means 'the basket'. During WWII the quarter was dynamited and afterwards rebuilt.
One of Marseille's best young chefs, Arnaud de Grammont, infuses his cooking with a panoply of flavours…think squid ink spaghetti with sesame and perfectly cooked scallops, or tender roasted potatoes with hints of coriander and citrus, topped by the catch of the day. Presentation is impeccable, decor is playful, staff is friendly, and the place fills up reliably.
Art, culture and architecture abound in Aix and is a stroller's paradise, especially the mostly pedestrian old city, Vieil Aix The graceful cours Mirabeau is the heart of Aix. Cafés spill onto the sidewalks on the sunny northern side. The southern side shelters a string of elegant Renaissance hôtels particuliers (private mansions).
Everywhere you go in Marseille, you see the opulent, domed 19th-century Romano-Byzantine basilica occupying Marseille's highest point, La Garde (162m). Built between 1853 and 1864, it is ornamented with coloured marble, murals depicting the safe passage of sailing vessels and superbly restored mosaics.
Visionary International-Style architect Le Corbusier redefined urban living in 1952 with the completion of his vertical 337-apartment 'garden city' also known as La Cité Radieuse (Radiant City).
The site of a former sugar-refining plant and subsequent tobacco factory, the theatre, artists' workshops, cinema studios, radio stations, multimedia displays, alfresco installation art, skateboard camps and electro-/world-music parties at La Friche la Belle de Mai are the 'voice' of contemporary Marseille.
Immortalised in Alexandre Dumas' classic 1844 novel Le Comte de Monte Cristo (The Count of Monte Cristo ), 16th-century fortress-turned-prison Château d'If sits on the 30-sq-km island, Île d'If , 3.5km west of the Vieux Port.
In the heart of Le Panier is Centre de la Vieille Charité, built as a charity shelter for the town's poor. Marseille architect and sculptor Pierre Puget (1620–94), born in the house opposite 10 rue du Petit Puits, designed the stunning arched sienna-stone courtyard.
Hop on le vélo rental bikes and pedal towards the Pharo area, then south along the corniche to take in the seascape. Stop at cute little fishing port Vallon des Auffes before pressing on towards the beaches and leisure areas of Espace Borély , where cycle lanes start. The trip is about 6km.
The top table at cours Julien serves perfectly al dente housemade pasta, paper-thin prosciutto, marinated vegetables, bresaola (air-dried beef) and risotto. Tables in the convivial dining room are cheek by jowl, and everyone seems to know each other. Or escape to the sun-dappled, tiled patio garden.
The colonnaded Palais de Longchamp and its spectacular fountains were constructed in the 1860s, in part to disguise a water tower at the terminus of an aqueduct from the River Durance. The northern wing houses Marseille's oldest museum, the Musée des Beaux-Arts , undergoing renovations at research time and slated to reopen in 2013.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
"Fashion is fun, you can't take yourself too seriously, and true friendship is possible." There, in a sentence, was Carine Roitfeld's summation, for a bank of French TV reporters, of the new Fabien Constant documentary about her, Mademoiselle C, which premiered in Paris last night. And those friends were out in force, both for the screening—where Karl Lagerfeld sat front-row—and the after-party at the Pavillon Ledoyen.
Roitfeld's bashes have become PFW's most reliable power magnet: Lenny Kravitz, Katy Perry, and Ciara all showed, as well as a slew of models (Cara Delevingne, Miranda Kerr, Magdalena Frackowiak) and designers (Riccardo Tisci, Haider Ackermann, Peter Dundas). Everyone was eager to share their memories and favorite moments with Mademoiselle. ("Madame," to her granddaughter, apparently, but never mind that.) "When I first met Carine, we had a mutual love of eyebrows—hers are incredible," deadpanned Delevingne. "But seriously, Carine's just an amazing woman, in addition to being an incredible stylist." Longtime pal Tom Pecheux had one of his memorable Roitfeld exchanges memorialized in the film: The time he wished his best girlfriend fat ankles in her next life. "She was shocked at the time, but that day, like many others, she drove me crazy," he said, laughing. "She knew that one day it would come back to her."
Like Pecheux, many of those present reckoned that Roitfeld put "almost everything" into Mademoiselle C. But the hostess herself left a little room for mystery. "There won't be a follow-up, but I haven't said everything. You have to keep some things secret, non? We're not doing reality TV!"

PHILADELPHIA -- A pinch-hit home run in the eighth inning, followed up by a single in the ninth inning on Friday night has earned Justin Ruggiano a closer look.
The Marlins acquired Ruggiano from the Astros in a Minor League trade on May 25, and the 30-year-old was immediately promoted to the big leagues. He chipped in with two hits in Friday's 6-4 loss against the Phillies.
On Saturday, Ruggiano made his first start with the Marlins, playing left field. But he can also play right field, which gives manager Ozzie Guillen an option when Giancarlo Stanton needs a day off.
"I like the kid, Ruggiano," manager Ozzie Guillen said. "He might be getting more playing time. I like the way he is swinging the bat. I like the way he's running the bases. He's a pretty good athlete. You might see him against righties, too."
In the past, Ruggiano played in the Rays' system. He was drafted in the 25th round by the Dodgers in 2004, and in '06, he was sent to Tampa Bay along with Jae Seo and Dioner Navarro for Mark Hendrickson and Toby Hall.
"I like his approach," Guillen said. "We might see him a little more in left field and right field, if Stanton needs a day off.
"If you play for Tampa Bay, under that manager, [Joe] Maddon, you know how to play the game. We've seen him in the past. I think this kid has a great idea at the plate. I like what I see."
Ruggiano projects to play in left field against lefties. But he also could get playing time against right-handers, as well.
"I figured that was kind of my role to face lefties here," Ruggiano said. "I kind of expected it. It was nice to know ahead of time to kind of prepare and relax."
Scuffling with RISP, Miami eyes help for Stanton
PHILADELPHIA -- A season-long problem surfaced again in Friday's 6-4 loss at Philadelphia.
The Marlins were 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position.
Manager Ozzie Guillen pointed out that the team is looking for Hanley Ramirez and Logan Morrison to improve in those situations.
Ramirez on the year is batting .206 with RISP, while Morrison is .146.
Ramirez hits third in the order, and Morrison hits fifth behind Giancarlo Stanton, who is hot.
"I just checked a couple of numbers," Guillen said. "[Morrison] struggles with men in scoring position. Hanley, too, is struggling with men in scoring position. In the meanwhile, we've got to get somebody to start swinging the bat a lot better behind Stanton."
Guillen noted he is not considering flip-flopping Omar Infante, who bats second, with Morrison.
"My third hitter is struggling with men in scoring position. My fifth hitter is struggling with men in scoring position," the manager said. "That's something we have to get better.
"I think the main thing for us is, LoMo has to get hot. I need someone to protect Stanton. We have a lot of confidence in him. We think he will come around."
Marlins reach rare pinch-hit feat
PHILADELPHIA -- Something relatively uncommon occurred for the Marlins in Friday night's 6-4 loss to the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
Nothing that would fall into the breaking news category. Still, in the big leagues, where everything is charted, broken down, analyzed and re-analyzed, the feat is worthy of mention.
The Marlins had three pinch-hit hits in one game. Donnie Murphy delivered a single in the sixth inning. And in the eighth, Justin Ruggiano connected on a pinch-hit home run and Donovan Solano added a pinch-hit single.
"I've been studying the guys I might be facing," Ruggiano said. "My mindset is, if I get a fastball to hit, that's what I'm looking for."
Miami nearly had a fourth pinch-hit, but in the ninth, the final out came when Greg Dobbs lined a drive to deep center field. John Mayberry Jr., racing straight back and turning a couple of different ways, reached and robbed Dobbs of extra bases.
You have to go back to July 9, 2009, to find the last time the Marlins had three pinch-hit hits in the same game. Against Arizona that day, Andy Gonzalez tripled in the seventh inning. And in the eighth inning, Hanley Ramirez had a single and Brett Carroll belted a home run.
That was a memorable game at Arizona, because the Marlins trailed, 7-0, entering the sixth inning, and they won 14-7, scoring 10 runs in the eighth.

Well, not exactly a slave, but a slave of the Guantánamo system. I'm talking about Shaker Aamer, the former UK resident who is still - still - marooned at the notorious US detention centre in the Caribbean almost exactly 12 years after being taken there during the height of George W Bush's frenzied and law-breaking "war on terror".
Recently, British courts have rivalled their counterparts across the pond in competing for the most senseless judgment. The latest example came just yesterday, when three British judges said they could not rule on whether British officials were complicit in murdering Pakistani civilians in US drone strikes because that might embarrass our friends in America.
One of the books that detainees at Guantánamo Bay are 50 Shades of Grey, the international bestseller from the US writer EL James. Could it be that the US military authorities have decided that James' erotic thriller is actually pornographic (so-called "mummy porn") and therefore unsuitable for the camp's 155 detainees?
They know what they are doing to me is wrong and that's why they are scared. It is not me they are worried about, but they have some metaphorical sense that their mother or father is going to see what they are up to, and wonder what has become of them. Instead of being a brave soldier, they have been reduced to the rank of 'Scrotum Searcher Third Class', and they are told to beat up a defenceless and shackled prisoner with the help of five of their tough buddies.
I sent Shaker Aamer the sermon Reverend Nicholas Mercer delivered in October which denounces the UK's involvement in the tortuous and horrifying tactics used in the 'war on terror' and its continued denial of justice to those still subjected to those same practices. Shaker, clearly touched, wrote back almost immediately.
Shaker Aamer, the last British resident to be held by the United States in the Guantanamo Bay detention camps, for over 11 years, is still yet to be released by the US government. One has to question why the US is taking so long to release Aamer despite the fact that he has been cleared for release over six years ago?
My name is Shaker. I am also known as Sawad Al-Madany because I was born in the Holy City of Medina. Please can you remember these names for me, because I hardly can anymore. Here, they call me 239. In fact, I call myself 239. It feels so strange to witness my name slipping away from me. I can't do anything about it. I wonder how long it is going to take for all of us here in Guantánamo to slip away from the world's memory?
"A symbol around the world for an America that flouts the rule of law." These are President Obama's recent words on Guantanamo Bay, the military prison he rules as commander-in-chief. But as Gitmo's infamous hunger strike enters its sixth month, it is increasingly plain that we have not one, but two administrations on Guantánamo Bay. The first - the administration of President Obama's speeches - regrets the prison... The second administration offers a retort.
So for me, the strike is over: not for any particularly good reason, just because it has gone on a week, and it is time to pass the baton over to Frankie Boyle. I was not sure when I began how long I would go for, since I had never foregone food for 48 hours before. I am satisfied with a week - it is longer than I expected to last, though less time than I could have.
The combination of lack of sleep with lack of food does seem to be the worst part of going on hunger strike... The notion of being coerced into feeding does make me think of the procedures described by Shaker Aamer in my call with him two days ago. Things in Guantánamo have gone from worse to terrible.
Today is the first day of my hungerstrike. While we have agreed that it can be done in simple solidarity with all the detainees - currently more than 100 are on strike, and at least 48 are being force fed - the alternative is to 'Adopt a Hunger Strike', where you choose to do it in sympathy with a particular prisoner. I was in Guantánamo visiting my clients last week, and I promised Shaker Aamer that I would do the next few days (as long as I can last) adopting his strike.

I interviewed Browns P Reggie Hodges for "The Way We Hear It" last week, days before he became quite a bit more famous after sprinting 68 yards — an NFL record — on a fake punt.
Unfortunately, I didn't ask him about fake punts, but I did get his thoughts on a few other topics that didn't make my story, which can be found at ProFootballWeekly.com and in the print edition of Pro Football Weekly.
• After being released by the Colts in August 2007, Hodges needed a job. " I was looking in the paper, and I was like, 'Who's hiring right now?' " he remembered. He found one with Tomkinson Dodge (now defunct) in Fort Wayne, Ind., selling cars. He enjoyed the job, he said. "I didn't take it as a humbling experience. That's where I was at in my life," Hodges said.
• Hodges credits Redskins P Hunter Smith for teaching him the nose-down, rugby-style kick he has used with great success this season, most notably in Week Six vs. Pittsburgh, when four of his punts were downed inside the Steelers' 10-yard line. The two punters worked on the kick during the summer, Hodges said.
• Hodges said the aiming point for the rugby-style punt, which he employs when trying to pin a team deep, is about the eight-yard line. The punt is known for bouncing straight forward or backward.

As of January 1, 2014
Fall 2014 Event Schedule PDF
Check back for the Fall 2014 program of events
The Center for the Study of Ethics is pleased to announce that Dr. Jon Westover from the Woodbury School of Business has been appointed as the center's new associate director. He will join the staff on July 1st after completing three years of service as the Director of Academic Service Learning. "Jon will be a critical part of shaping the direction of the Ethics Center led so ably by David Keller for fourteen years" said incoming director Brian Birch.
With a Ph.D. in Sociology and an emphasis in organizational behavior and corporate social responsibility, Jon received UVU's Faculty Fellowship in Ethics in 2012-13 and has been active in Ethics Center activities since he began his tenure at UVU. His interdisciplinary scholarship is exceptionally well-suited to the position as the center extends its reach to more areas of campus. Welcome, Jon! Read more...
The Ethics Center would also like to thank Dr. Kim Bartholomew for her service as associate and interim director, and most especially during this transitional period after the passing of David Keller. We wish her all the best during her upcoming sabbatical.
Academic Affairs is pleased to announce that Brian Birch has been appointed to serve as the Director of the Center for the Study of Ethics. The Center has a long and distinguished history beginning in 1993; and has played an important role in integrating ethics across the UVU curricula and programs, promoting ethical dialogue, practice and research. Over the years the Center has developed several signature programs including Ethics Awareness Week; the Excellence in Ethics Award; the Faculty Summer Seminar (5 days); Environmental Ethics Symposium; the Kirk Englehardt Business Ethics Award; and the Faculty Ethics Fellowship program.
As the Director, Brian will play a key role in charting the future direction of the Center building upon the established success and reputation. In collaboration with departments and faculty, he will craft a plan for the scope of programs and activities of the Center and its potential contribution within the state as well as nationally and internationally. In keeping with its long-term mission, the Center will continue to reach out and involve all areas of the campus and all disciplines.
Brian has a Ph.D. in the Philosophy of Religion and Theology, and a master and bachelor degrees in Philosophy. He has held several administrative positions at UVU including Associate Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (2008 to 2010), Director of the Religious Studies Program (since 2002), Department Chair of Philosophy and Humanities (2003 to 2006), and as Associate Director of the Center for the Study of Ethics from 1999 to 2006. During this time, Brian established the Utah Democracy Project and served as the founding editor of Teaching Ethics, the journal of the Society for Ethics Across the Curriculum. His academic specializations include philosophy of religion, ethics education, and comparative religious studies.
After nearly four years of service as Associate Vice President for Engaged Learning, Brian will be returning to the faculty on July 1, 2014 and his appointment as Director will begin at this time.
Susanna Garcia is the new program coordinator of the Center for the Study of Ethics.
Susanna was chosen after a competitive job search by a committee chaired by Elaine Englehardt and comprised of Kim Bartholomew, Associate Director of the CSE, Jill Jasperson, former Associate Director of the CSE, and Jessica Awtry, Administrative Support, Office of Engaged Learning.
Susanna graduated from the University of Utah with a B.S. in Social and Behavioral Science and Environmental Studies. Prior to working for UVU, she worked in the non-profit field of international development for 8 years. She has extensive experience on meeting the needs of people and communities in the developing world. Susanna speaks and writes Spanish fluently. She has worked as a Spanish web consultant for an environmental organization which linked people and technology to resources to support urban and community forests. Her humanitarian service has included projects in Guatemala, Peru and Ecuador. Susanna has volunteered with Meals on Wheels, Red Cross, Save our Canyons, Splore, Utah Aids Foundation and Utah Society for Environmental Education.
At a CSE event, please introduce yourself to Susanna and welcome her to the UVU campus!
The Ethics Across the Curriculum Faculty Advisory Committee (EACFAC) is proud to announce the 2013-2014 Faculty Fellows in Ethics: Scott Hatch, Lecturer in English and Literature, as the University Faculty Fellow in Ethics for Liberal Arts and Science and Nancy L. Peterson, Professor of Education, as the University Faculty Fellow in Ethics for the Professions. You can learn more about the Faculty Fellows in Ethics Program here.
The Center for the Study of Ethics is an academic organization serving the campus of Utah Valley University and our Utah County community. The aim of the Ethics Center is to provide a forum in which a variety of ethical issues can be discussed in an atmosphere of openness and impartiality. We seek to promote the Jeffersonian ideal of an educated citizenry by bringing diverse voices together in thoughtful and productive dialogue.
The Center for the Study of Ethics promotes the study of interdisciplinary ethics at UVU by offering regular and special events designed to foster community, student and faculty discussions of ethics.
Our driving philosophy is centered on the belief that ethics is a dimension of academic inquiry rather than an isolated philosophical discipline.
All UVU Ethics Center forums are free and open to the public.

Le Méditerranée
Good French and continental dishes, served up in a pleasant garden. Good service with a hint of sophistication rare in Nouakchott.
Good French and continental dishes, served up in a pleasant garden. Good service with a hint of sophistication rare in Nouakchott.
Excellent laid-back Spanish restaurant, with a heavy emphasis on seafood.
A fresh and funky cafe inside Maison d'hôtes la Bienvenue.
From the rond-point head down the Chinguetti road for a block, then turn left. This place is on the right-hand corner, marked by a tiny sign. It's as down-at-heel as you can get, serving up great quantities of rice, fish and Senegalese mafé . It's always busy, and the food piping hot and delicious.
A bit grander than most fast-food joints, Le Prince claims to be Nouakchott's oldest restaurant. Plonk yourself on a wobbly chair in the room at the back and tuck into a plate of well-prepared shwarma (a kebablike dish), sandwiches, salads and ice cream – all great value.
This place thoroughly lacks any pretensions but is all the better for it. The surroundings might have seen better days, but the service is fast and the food piping hot. There are good salads, chicken dishes and a variety of tasty fish straight from the Port de Pêche.
A long-established player on the Nouakchott dining scene, Pizza Lina now faces stiff competition from the many similar places along this stretch of Rte des Ambassades. All the same, you'll find decent crispy pizzas and a selection of pasta and meat dishes.
Next to Tunis Air, this cafe is fine for coffee and smoking a water pipe, but comes into its own with fantastic breakfasts – freshly squeezed orange juice, bread, jam, pastries, yoghurt, coffee and a bottle of mineral water. A fine way to start the day.
We like this place for its breakfasts – decent coffee and a good selection of pastries, but it's good at any time of day, with pizzas and sandwiches as quick fillers, or grilled fish and brochettes (kebabs) for something more substantial.
La Salamandre enjoys a decent reputation for lip-smacking French cooking, but throws in a little Mexican and even Japanese for variety. The sleek setting, with lashings of bright colours splashed all over the walls, is another draw.
Near the rond-point, this cheap and cheerful eatery rustles up some good couscous and tajines as well as sandwiches and lighter bites.

The Department of Defense says a Marine from northeastern Arizona has been killed while serving in Afghanistan.
Pentagon officials say 34-year-old Staff Sgt. Jonathan D. Davis, of Kayenta, died last Friday while conducting combat operations in the Helmand province of Afghanistan.
Details weren't immediately announced Monday.
Davis was assigned to Headquarters Battalion, 32nd Georgian Liaison Team, Regimental Combat Team 7, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force out of Camp Pendleton, CA.
Gov. Jan Brewer issued the following statement:
"Staff Sgt. Davis was overseas serving our nation in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. As we pay respect and tribute to him, let this tragedy serve as a reminder of the peril our men and women in uniform encounter on a daily basis. Let us never take for granted the daily sacrifices made by our troops and their families. Please join me in praying for the loved ones of Staff Sgt. Davis, and please continue to pray for the safety and security of the United States Armed Forces.
"In recognition of Staff Sgt. Jonathan D. Davis, I have ordered that all state flags be lowered from sunrise to sundown on Tuesday, February 26, 2013. State flags will again be lowered on the day of his interment, for which services are pending."

This was the worst idea ever. About halfway through the third round of the U.S. Open, I began to have doubts. The plan was to follow Tiger Woods around at The Olympic Club, from practice rounds with Casey Martin to the final round of the tournament. Through two days, the plan was working out quite nicely: Tiger had a share of the lead and was generally playing well.
It was amazing how quickly everything fell apart. As soon as he struck his first shot on Saturday, it was clear trouble was ahead. He'd been perfect off the tee the two days prior, turning in solid rounds to go along with them. This time, there was immediate frustration and disdain for the shot he hit to open his round.
Following Tiger Woods is a grind. Fans have to navigate a maze of ropes to position themselves among the herd, hoping to get a glimpse of their hero. Media members have to pick spots: Is it better to stand near the player as they take the shot or get ahead like a forecaddie? Photographers and cameramen beaming live shots are also jockeying for position in the midst of a sea of people inside the ropes.
Add in security -- and, boy, was there security -- as well as rules officials, USGA staff and marshals, and the entourage that follows Tiger can number in the hundreds. If he's playing well it swells. If he's not, it dissipates quickly. One minute he's loved, the next he's forgotten.
By Sunday afternoon, I was one of the few left standing. By then, he'd played his way completely out of contention, stumbling and bumbling through the first six holes at 6-over. The crowds got lighter, though many still showed up just to catch a glimpse of Tiger, or perhaps see him hit a shot. It didn't matter to kids asking, anxiously "Is Tiger coming?" or the guy in the Tiger suit that kept begging for a high-five.*
*This will never happen. A nod or a tip of the cap was all I saw from him over four days. Once he's in tournament mode, there are no fans ... unless he hits one with a tee shot.
By the time he reached six, the media was mostly gone, having thinned out. Tiger pulled out a driver on six, the first time he plucked anything but a 2-iron from his bag all week, and went into full-on "screw it" mode. Of course the driver went way left and ended up on the wrong hole, because that's just how the day was.
Sticking around afforded me the opportunity to actually see some good golf from Tiger, however. After his disastrous first six holes, he went 3-under during his final 12 holes. Watching him shake his head as if to say, "Where's that been all day?" on No. 8 was the lasting image of the day, contrasted by a roaring crowd on its feet behind him.
There's plenty of good golf in Tiger, but the consistency is still missing. When he was once unflappable, a few bad shots seem to enter into his head. During Friday's round, he hit a beautiful high-fade into 17, only to watch it take a big hop and collect down in the chipping area. The next day, he picked a club, addressed the ball and went through his pre-shot routine before backing up and switching to a shorter club. He was gun shy and missed the green short by a significant margin.
Similar scenarios happened over and over throughout the weekend. Faced with a shot that required him to throttle down or step on it -- a half-club, as he called it -- Tiger was just plain off-the-mark. His distances were off by a few yards on Saturday, and by miles during the first six holes on Sunday. It's almost impossible to win a U.S. Open without distance control and the ability to pick a line and stick with it.
But this was a different Tiger than the one we saw at The Masters. There was no real club throwing and audible cursing. Sure, he would mutter a few four-letters under his breath, but he was relatively calm throughout the week. Even after hitting poor shots into the gallery, he put on the polite facade, asking fans nicely to move back a little bit and thanking them for doing so.
When he fell out of contention, though, that intensity just seemed to disappear. On the seventh hole, he drove the green but found himself on the wrong tier, resulting in a three-putt. He tapped a putt way off the mark, then hurried up and missed the comebacker. It was interesting to watch him switch from completely on and focused to what felt like "Let's just get out of here."
Even when he was off his game, Tiger's presence was enormous. He carries himself in a confident, perhaps cocky, way, wandering around the course like he owns it. He commands attention and demands respect, even when not at his best.
He's beatable, though -- more beatable than ever. He can't just intimidate players into wilting: Jim Furyk and Casey Wittenberg not only stood up to him at the U.S. Open, but also whipped him around the course. He is, however, making progress.
The question of whether Tiger is back has run its course and become one of those fun narratives that always pop up. Tiger is still among the best players in the world when he's on, and can still bring fans to their feet with incredible shots and putts.
When he's off, like he was over the final two days at The Olympic Club, he's just a footnote: A face in the crowd overshadowed by a field that left him in the dust.

SeaWorld Orlando is celebrating the birth of a dolphin.
A dolphin calf was born at 8:47 a.m. on Saturday June 30. SeaWorld says the young calf's sex is unknown at this time, but it has been seen nursing and bonding with its mom, Starkey, a good indication that the calf is doing well.
This is Starkey's sixth birth. Park guests can see the pair at SeaWorld's Dolphin Nursery where pregnant dolphins, new mothers, their calves and experienced moms live together.

Get Kuyt out!
The time has come for Liverpool fans to unite in their disgust at this travesty that has gone on for too long! The anger and frustration at watchin Dirk Kuyt play week in, week out for 90 minutes EVERY GAME has become too much. We are now at a stage where we are as close as we have been for years to winning a league title. We came close once under Houllier, but other than that we've been nowhere. Now, the only thing holding us back is Rafa Benitez's blindness to how bad Dirk Kuyt really is. It's time we as Liverpool supporters, declared our anger at his selection, and let Rafa know what the right thing to do is. Either drop Kuyt, or leave LFC so we can get a manager who will! We will not win the Premier League as long as Dirk Kuyt is in the first team!

In his humorously titled but seriously informative presentation "Wandering 40 Years in the Desert," Allan Jacobson, PhD, described the long, meandering path that can characterize a career in scientific research. His talk was the keynote for the Friday, Aug. 2, closing ceremony of the 2013 Combined Summer Undergraduate Research Opportunity at UMass Medical School.
The 10-week Summer Undergraduate Research Opportunity is designed to diversify the pool of biomedical researchers by providing structured, hands-on laboratory research experiences to undergraduate students, especially those from backgrounds under-represented in the field, or who are economically or educationally disadvantaged. Funding is provided by either the National Institutes of Health or UMMS. This year's SUR class included 32 students from colleges in Massachusetts, Puerto Rico and across the nation.
Dr. Jacobson, the Gerald L. Haidak, MD, and Zelda S. Haidak Professor of Cell Biology and chair and professor of microbiology & physiological systems, studies the mechanisms of a molecular process dubbed nonsense mediated decay (NMD) in yeast. His findings prompted efforts to identify a drug compound that could suppress the process, which in humans causes genetic mutations associated with 2,400 diseases affecting hundreds of thousands of patients. The drug Ataluren, now entering human clinical trials, could potentially cure fatal diseases including cystic fibrosis and Duchenne's muscular dystrophy.
"From NMD in yeast to nonsense alleles in human genes to a drug trial for a systemic oral therapy, this progression exemplifies clinical translational science," Jacobson said.
Pictured here, Jacobson (second from right), and Summer Undergraduate Research Opportunity co-directors Brian Lewis, PhD, and Deborah Harmon-Hines, PhD, congratulate first place poster presentation award winner Christopher Duncan-Lewis. Duncan-Lewis, a rising junior at the University of Pennsylvania, conducted research in the laboratory of program host Pranoti Mandrekar, PhD.

Pond in autumn
Kleiner Weiher in der Nähe von Hohenstein-Ernstthal im Herbst 2010. Im Hintergrund, über den Weiher gesehen, die Trasse der Bundesautobahn 4 zwischen Chemnitz und Glauchau.
After Karl May was released from prison, his mental illness was not yet cured. Again he disguised him...
It all began on 26 May 1927 – a historical date. That's when the first motorcycle race was started he...
In the middle of a densely wooded landscape, in the near of Chemnitz, is a dam and a recreation area ...
Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)
And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.
Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.
Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!
Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.
But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.
Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.
And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.

Camping in the great outdoors is an American tradition, one that has long thrived in the Adirondack region, with its vast forests and natural wonders.
In North America, camping can trace its roots all the way back to 1492, when Columbus and his Native American guide Sacagawea set up rudimentary tents while discovering 37 of the Adirondack peaks.
For centuries, the activity grew, for both practical and recreational reasons. People enjoyed being out in the fresh air, with the flora and the fauna, and frankly, until Motel 6 came along in the early 1800s, there just weren't a lot of convenient places for families on a budget to stay.
Camping was a staple of my childhood. I still wax poetic about family treks to various locales in New England and New York, one of which even served as the inspiration for the fun-loving camp-out classic film "Deliverance."
Increasingly, however, people seem to be enjoying the great outdoors without so much outdoors in it. I firmly believe that nothing brings a family closer than being jammed together in an 8-by-10 tent for six days without soap, but many don't agree.
Have you loaded up the car and visited one of the Adirondack's fine campgrounds or state parks yet this summer? Or better yet, hiked out into a remote wilderness location, dug a latrine with your Swiss army knife and foraged for your own food?
If you have a $90,000 recreational vehicle hooked up to sewer and power lines, you're not really camping. For $90,000, by the way, you could pitch a tent at a campground for roughly 2,647 nights.
If you're staying at the family cottage, where the hardships are basic cable and running out of hot water when the dishwasher is running at the same time that you're filling the hot tub, you are not roughing it.

Draft at The Blue Dog in Lansdale, PA.
Pitch black and nearly opaque with dark plum edges and a pinkish off-white head that slowly settles into a thick, lasting ring. Streaks of soapy lace left behind.
The aroma of this beer is really interesting but smells more like a candy/dessert than a sour beer. Not much must or funk, but smells just like a dark chooclate covered raspberry jelly candy. Dark cocoa powder and jammy/seedy raspberry sweetness dominate. As it warms up, there is a subtle bug/funk presence but the chocolate powder and sweet raspberries overpower most of the other notes. Still smells pretty good though.
Medium bodied with a stronger sour funk presence than the nose hinted at. Tart and puckering with lots of musty funk, dry Brett and vinegary acetic acid. Not harsh acetone or solvent-like though. Sweet raspberry presence is really strong with lots of jam, raspberry, currant, blackberry and other dark fruit. Tastes like a dark wild ale with raspberry jelly. The chocolate notes take a back seat but are definitely lingering in the back end. Again, it remeings me of dark chocolate covered jelly rings wih some oak and acetic funk. Really refreshing but the chooclate could be stronger for my preference. Otherwise, it's decently tart, well balanced and easy to drink. Another nice experimental beer from Funky Buddha.

On tap at the brewery. Served in a wine glass.
Appearance - Arrives with a sizable mocha head atop a very deep brown body. Nearly black. The head is fleeting and just a collar of foam is left.
Smell - Raspberry aroma. Dark chocolate. Not much acidity in the nose. Some meatiness to it.
Taste - Roastier here. Rapsberry moves to the back end. Deep chocolate flavor throughout. That meatiness s intensified here. Moderate sourness and raspberry linger in the finish.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied. Low acidity. Medium carbonation.
Overall - Some odd meaty flavors going on. Reminds me of the Truffle Sour they did. Might be the same base. Decent raspberry and chocolate flavor though.

First had: on tap at Funky Buddha, Boca Raton, FL
I had the privilege of trying this a few days before it was released to the general public. I'm guessing the base beer for this was either a porter or just a dark strong ale, but regardless, it really morphed into something amazing.
Murky dark brown pour, topped with foamy bubbles that soon dissipated completely, some floaties in suspension. In the nose, berry tartness, bakers' chocolate and a bit of dark malt roast. The taste was genuinely amazing. Up front, a rich sensation like biting into a bar of dark chocolate, semi-sweet with a touch of cocoa bitterness. Mid-palate brought in a distinctive raspberry tartness, slight cheek-biting pucker, mellowing out to a more candy-like sweetness. Just when I thought the sour quality had erased all chocolate flavor, a second wave of dark chocolate goodness came in end-palate, balancing out the tartness from the raspberry, and providing a chewy yet smooth finish. This beer send my taste buds on an adventure. Body was medium, carbonation was moderate to low. Unique. Complex. Tremendously well-crafted. Send me more, please.

DEL MAR (CBS 8) - Candles have traditionally been a festive part of any holiday celebration.
And since 1928, one Del Mar family has been handcrafting their own pure beeswax candles.
The story you are about to hear is just a bunch of beeswax and begins in the 1920s when a rare bird by the name of Fred Knorr immigrated to San Diego from Russia.
"He came out to Del Mar and bought 20 acres here to keep bees and raise a family of five kids," Steve Knorr said.
Today, tucked away in a cozy compound along Via De La Valle, the Knorr family is still hand-rolling, their all-natural, 100 percent pure beeswax candles.
"They don't smoke, they don't drip, they burn longer," Steve said.
When it comes to wax, Steve Knorr knows all the facts.
"I worked for my grandfather. He paid me 25 cents an hour," he said.
And he's not above giving a rookie a chance to get hands-on.
It's the stylish sculpted candle that has become the Knorr trademark.
Over 30 different colors of beeswax candles are sold in their festive gift shop, many fashioned in decorative holiday style.
Knorr candles have graced the White House for at least three administrations. A thank you note from Mamie Eisenhower hangs on the shop wall, and the first family of flame still lives and works on a portion of the original property, hand-rolling 300,000 to 400,000 pounds a year.
Now that, my friends, is a bunch of beeswax.

Bobcats beat Cougars in men's soccer action.
---- — PLATTSBURGH — The way Sunday's game was going, Clinton Community College men's soccer coach Gene Bushey figured it was going to be a one-goal difference.
He was right.
But, unfortunately for the Cougars, Paul Smith's College scored the only goal of the game in a season-opening 1-0 win at the Plattsburgh State Fieldhouse Soccer Complex.
Steve Rathburn's goal just 1:00 in the second half provided the margin of difference for the Bobcats.
"We were playing our flat four and they were able to get through the middle," said Bushey. "He (Rathburn) went in one-on-one on our goalie and put the ball into the far right side of the net."
Paul Smith's held an 18-17 advantage in shots on goal and the Cougars had their share of chances.
"We had a lot of opportunities, especially towards the end," said Bushey. "But we couldn't score. I was pleased with how we played, but we could have probably squeezed the middle a little more. We have some things we need to work on.
"It was a good match-up and it was good soccer to watch. Paul Smith's is a lot better than they were last year."
With starting goalie Josh Rabideau out for the season with an injury, Adam Goldfarb played his first game in net for the Cougars and finished with 16 saves.
"Goldfarb played great," said Bushey. "He made some big saves for us when it was a 1-0 game.
"Kaleb Snide and Daniel Escobar played well in the middle and Singa Barry did a good job up front."
The Cougars are idle until they host Cayuga Community College at 4:15 p.m. Saturday at Plattsburgh High School.
Paul Smith's 1, Clinton C.C. 0
Paul Smith's 0 1 — 1
Clinton C.C. 0 0 — 0
Second half- 1, PS, Rathburn (Schmidt), 1:00.
Shots: Paul Smith's 18, Clinton C.C. 17.
Saves: Little, PS, 11. Goldfarb, CCC, 16.

A sane voice: Arundhati Roy

This post begins a series to recognize people that speak about the world in terms of what they observe and what they can prove. Their voices stand out in the crowd. In their words, they speak not of fantasy, delusion and rationalization. Instead, they utilize the gifts of human cognition, awareness to observe what is here in the world around us. They are not dogmatic, but analytic and take in the world 'warts & all' for what it is and what it is not. They do not separate humankind from nature in any form of grandeur. In short, they look at things the way they really are and not what we would have them be.

'Feminist Periodicals and Publishers: The Ladder to Ms. to Bitch' in LIU Brooklyn's Resnick Gallery
Brooklyn, N.Y. – In celebration of Women's History Month, LIU Brooklyn presents "Feminist Periodicals and Publishers: The Ladder to Ms. to Bitch" in the Resnick Gallery. The exhibition of historical and contemporary feminist publications, which illustrates the ideologies and activism of the feminist movement, will run until Wednesday, March 27.
"We were inspired by independent publishing in general and feminist publishing in particular; however, the Riot Grrrl zines of the early 1990s were our main inspiration," said Kate Angell, reference librarian at LIU Brooklyn, who organized the exhibition with Susan E. Thomas, coordinator of reference services.
Periodicals on view include a 1957 issue of The Ladder, the first ongoing American publication created by lesbians for lesbians; copies of the 1970s journal Heresis; an early issue of the now defunct alternative teen magazine Sassy; the independent magazine Bitch; and copies of periodicals, such as DINAH and Woman News.
Thomas said, "As a public service librarian and feminist, I am thrilled to have an opportunity to combine these two passions and collaboratively share the creations of past and present women with LIU and the community."
The exhibition was made possible with funding from LIU's Gender Studies program. A portion of the exhibition is on loan from LIU Brooklyn Professor Harriet Malinowitz and the Feminist Press at CUNY. Additional contributors include Marie Macula, Elvis Bakaitis, Debbie Rasmussen/The Marti Kheel Collection and Chella Quint.
LIU Brooklyn's Resnick Gallery is located on the third floor of the Library Learning Center. Viewing hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. until 6 p.m., and Saturday/Sunday from 11:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. LIU is located in downtown Brooklyn, at 1 University Plaza, at Flatbush and Dekalb Avenues. For more information about the exhibition, contact Nancy Grove at (718) 488-1198.

Some Chesaning families are fearful about reoccurring gas leaks near their homes.
They claim they're evacuating for their health and safety, and they point the finger of blame at Consumer's Energy.
"Definitely a ticking time bomb," said Andrea Goward, who lives near the small building in Chesaning she said is scaring the neighborhood to death.
She said it's been very scary recently.
"We hear the bang, and then you can just smell gas, awful, and then rushing water, and the smell is awful," explained Manissa Porter, who lives nearby.
Neighbors say the rotten egg-like smell of natural gas has filled the air four times in the past three weeks.
"All you can think of is you're waiting for the explosion to hit you," said Goward.
The smell comes from the vents of a Consumer's Energy building. TV5 called Consumer's Energy to piece together exactly what's going on.
"When there's excess pressure in the system, this station is designed to release the excess pressure to the atmosphere," explained Consumer's Energy spokesperson Roger Morgenstern.
Morganstern said what's happening is nothing out of the ordinary. He said it's a regulator station, and its purpose is to relieve pipeline gas pressure.
"There's not any type of public safety danger to this. There's not an imminent ignition source. This is just releasing excess gas into the air to bring the pressure down," said Morgenstern.
He said once the vents release the gas, the gas dissipates in the air. He also said debris in the lines is to blame for the recent releases, and there hasn't been any reason for Consumer's to call for evacuations.
But local fire officials don't necessarily agree.
Kevin Carlton is the assistant chief of the Chesaning-Brady Fire Department. He said the department has made the decision to call for evacuations just to be safe.
"If they say it's not a big deal, it's in their court then," said Carlton.
"But would you evacuate if your family lived there?" asked TV5.
"I would, yes, if my family was close by, yes, if I smelled it, yes," said Carlton.
And it's that smell that has the people who live here concerned.
"Because it's natural gas, why would you not worry about gas?" said neighbor Susan Davis.
As far as Consumer's Energy's next move, Morgenstern told TV5 they will continue to monitor the situation, but there are no plans past that.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson announced via Twitter that he will be at the Texas Rangers' spring training facility on March 3. Wilson tweeted a photo of himself Thursday holding a Rangers No. 3 jersey with a message that read: "Hey @Rangers fans... See you at 'Surprise' Arizona on March 3!" It is not clear if Wilson will participate in drills or just meet and greet players. Rangers officials said they will contact Wilson's agent, Mark Rodgers, to coordinate a schedule, but it is not likely that Wilson will spend much time in Arizona. "We are very pleased that Russell will be able to spend some time at our spring training camp," Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said in a statement. "Due to his other commitments, I expect his visit will be brief but he should be able to interact with our players on both the major and minor league sides. We are finalizing his exact schedule for March 3." The Rangers selected Wilson in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft in December. Wilson said at the time that he was interested in attending spring training. The Rangers paid $12,000 to take Wilson from the Colorado Rockies, who originally drafted Wilson. He batted .229 with five home runs, 19 stolen bases and 118 strikeouts as a Class A second baseman in 2010 and 2011. The Seahawks selected Wilson in the third round of the 2012 NFL draft.
