The MagazineHis Vichy GambleThe decline and fall of a marshal of France.Apr 17, 2006, Vol. 11, No. 29
• By EDWIN M. YODER JR.
Pétain THE CASE OF PHILIPPE P TAIN, sometime marshal of France, presents an intriguing study in the historiography of reputation. "It is always a mistake to end up on the wrong side of history," writes Charles Williams, regarding Pétain's decision to head the collaborationist Vichy regime after the fall of France in 1940. Since no one volunteers for such a destiny, this seems an odd use of the word "mistake," as odd as it is in Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom! when Colonel Sutpen describes his failures of human sympathy as "mistakes"--as if shunning one's own children were somewhat like miscounting a stack of dollar bills. There certainly was a time when Pétain's "mistake" seemed ineradicable. He was not so far beyond historical redemption as Vidkun Quisling, the puppet president of Norway, and indeed the gist of Williams's present study is that Pétain was a reluctant collaborationist. The further difference between Pétain and Quisling is that when France fell to the Nazi Blitzkrieg in May 1940, Pétain was already a heroic figure who had twice "saved" France in the previous world war. Having risen from colonel on the retirement list and former theorist of infantry tactics at the Ecole Militaire to high command, it was he who directed the defense of Verdun in 1916 and, in the summer of 1917, subdued a brewing mutiny that infected half the divisions of the French Army and could have led to an Allied collapse. For these achievements, Pétain in 1940 was venerated by many of his countrymen (and not least by himself, which was part of the difficulty) as the man who could uniquely manage national salvation. But that salvation was oddly defined: He would stay in France and "offer his person" to the preservation of mythic France. When this reviewer had the good fortune to study the history of the Third Republic under one of its preeminent historians, the late Philip Williams, the explanation for national collapse seemed obvious. Pétain's flaws were, in some ways, those of his nation. To begin with, France in the 1920s and '30s had suffered from a demographic hangover from the 1914-1918 war: a dearth of young men, producing a deficit of military recruits. France was radically divided in the face of the rise of Hitler and Stalin, torn between the leftist Popular Front of Léon Blum and quasi-fascist sympathizers with Hitler on the right. Mieux Hitler que Blum was the astonishing motto of some of the latter: Better the Nazis than a Socialist premier willing to coalesce with the far left. The result was that France's splintered party system was unable to generate a stable governing consensus. Nor could it overcome the fatalism and passivity that were also legacies of the First World War. By the 1930s, finally, a defensive mentality had expressed itself in the Maginot Line (suddenly useless when Belgium went over to neutrality). Add the staggering casualties of the spring of 1940 and you had the formula for collapse. It was Pétain, the last surviving marshal of the First World War, to whom the demoralized politicians turned. It was he, the former peasant boy from the Pas-de-Calais, risen by merit, who would assume responsibility for dealing with Hitler. Never has one who supped with the devil needed a longer spoon, and Pétain's was far too short. The asset that Pétain did bring to the shabby capitulationist Vichy regime ("the funeral procession of [France], of which M. le Maréchal was the decrepit pallbearer," in the vivid words of Gen. Sir Edward Spears) was a certain cunning and patriotic attachment to the mystical idea of eternal France. That France would live, even if the rickety political state died. As Pétain put it in that mystic tongue he shared with his protégé, Charles de Gaulle, he would offer his person to his "children," the French. A former deputy leader of the British House of Lords, Charles Williams has a seasoned grasp of political subtleties, and has made himself master of this tangled tale, in a book that is explanatory without being either accusatory or exculpatory. Yet in the end it is unclear that this very French tale is fully or clearly accessible to the Anglo-American political understanding. A salient sense of the nature of Pétain's "mistake" remains elusive. True, as head of the Vichy state, he accepted formal responsibility for some evil concessions: the end of the National Assembly, the promulgation of racial laws, the deportation of 75,000 Jews, many to die in the east, and the forced removal of scores of thousands of French workers to man German industry. And, later, the formation of the villainous Milice, collaborationist vigilante enforcers of the Nazi occupation. |

Ours to ProtectChoose earth friendly landscaping
What's the issue?When landscaping your yard you can protect your kids, pets, and the environment from harm. By choosing plants that are native to Michigan and by practicing good lawn-care practices, you can help prevent pollution of our lakes and streams.
What are some helpful tips?Here are some simple steps you can take to landscape and maintain a healthy yard and help keep our water clean. Give them a try. A few simple changes can make a big difference!
Mow high. Make your lawn cheaper and easier to maintain by mowing high (three inches is recommended). Taller grass requires less water, promotes root growth, and shades out weeds.Use mulch. Place a thick layer of mulch (e.g., four inches) around trees and plants. This helps retain water, reduce weeds, and minimize the need for pesticides.Go native. Select plants native to Michigan. Native plants are better equipped to tolerate Michigan's climate, require less fertilizing, and are more disease resistant.
What plants are native to Michigan?
All can be found in local nurseries and greenhouses.
Gateway to Michigan Native PlantsMichigan Native Plant List (PDF)Michigan Native Plant Producers Association
Variety is the spice of life. Using a wide variety of plants helps control pests and minimizes the need for pesticides.
Water wisely. Generally, your lawn needs about an inch of water a week. Over-watering lawns results in shallow-rooted plants that are less tolerant of heat and drought, and more prone to disease. Avoid over-watering by using a rain gauge and watering only when necessary, instead of on a fixed schedule.Guidelines for Home Rain Gardens (PDF)
Use less for pests. Pesticides and herbicides can be harmful to our kids, pets, and the environment. So, use pesticides and herbicides sparingly. Limit applications to problem areas instead of applying to the entire area (e.g., weed and feed).
Rake it or leave it. Follow the guidelines in your community for leaf pick-up. Never rake leaves into or near storm drains, ditches, or streams. Decaying leaves use up the water's oxygen, harming fish and the aquatic insects that fish depend on to survive. Better yet, mow leaves into your lawn. Leaves and grass clippings are good fertilizers for your lawn.Earth Friendly Lawn Care Tips (PDF)

I've enjoyed the majority of her music, however, she needs to do damage control of her image, because from where I'm standing, her image screams TRASHY!! No class, no matter how much money she has or how famous! Money does not buy class sweet heart!

Apple's best new tricks in the new Mountain Lion OS
(Read article summary)Mountain Lion, the ninth iteration of the Apple desktop operating system, arrives today.
Busy week for Apple: more rumors of a new iPhone, gossip about a new iPod, the less-than-impressive Q3 showing, and the launch of its ninth Mac OS X iteration. Mountain Lion was first announced back in June, at WWDC. It boasts a reported 200 new features, including the brand new Messages app and a malware net called Gatekeeper.
It's probably most useful to think of Mountain Lion like Windows 8, the forthcoming OS from Microsoft. Both operating systems steal liberally from the mobile OS ecosystem – Windows 8 with its tiles and touch-friendly interface and Mountain Lion with its iOS-like Game Center and Notification Center and Messages. Mountain Lion launches today – you can download it through the Mac App Store. So how does it stack up?
Pretty well, generally speaking, although some critics have been quick to point that Mountain Lion isn't exactly an overhaul.
It's more of a slight nudge upward.

Broccolini is a cross between broccoli and Chinese broccoli, also known as Chinese kale or gai lan.
This dish has a wonderful, complex flavor yet it's so easy to prepare. Serve with generous amounts of the mustard aioli sauce.
Here's everything you need to know to get hooked up at the big game.
Toasting fennel seeds releases their oils and brings out their anise-like flavor.
Sticky, gooey and irresistible--these are the rolls to make! The tender dough, rolled in spiced brown sugar and topped with caramel-drenched toasted pecans, literally melts in your mouth.
Chipotle chiles (smoked jalapeños) give a flavor boost to simple dinners like this one, especially when used along with the zesty adobo sauce in which they're canned. They impart a slight touch of heat, but it's smoothly balanced by a crowning dollop of sour cream.
We're excited that you've joined us here.

Women's groups urge EU ban on prostitution
Published on Dec 5, 2012 7:04 AM
BRUSSELS (AFP) - Around 200 women's groups on Tuesday urged the European Union (EU) to make paying for sex a crime on the grounds that prostitution violated women's rights.
"Prostitution is a form of violence, an obstacle to equality, a violation of human dignity, and of human rights," the European Women's Lobby (EWL), the largest umbrella group of women's rights groups in the 27-nation bloc, said at a conference in the European parliament.
The EWL called on the bloc to seek inspiration from Sweden, which outlawed paying for sex more than a decade ago though prostitution remains legal.
The group said that the number of people exploited in street prostitution had halved since 1999, while it tripled in Denmark and Norway for the same period.

TGIDIYFriday: Pinecone Ribbon Wreath
Hi friends! If there was ever a season to try a few DIY crafts, it's the holidays. I'm fairly certain I could spend weeks crafting for Christmas, but since we all know time is lacking during this hectic season, hi, friend and I have put together an easy and fairly mess-free pinecone ribbon wreath. Like most of the DIY's we dream up, this one can easily be personalized, as any color of ribbon + pinecones (glitter, maybe?) will work.
Supplies Needed:
1.) Scissors
2.) Pinecones (we picked up scented ones!)
3.) Twine
4.) Natural Burlap Ribbon (found here)
5.) Decorative Ribbon (found here)
6.) Glue Gun
7.) Pencil
Step-by-Step Directions:
1.) Gather supplies, warm up glue gun, and cut ribbon to desired wreath length. When cutting ribbon, remember to cut different lengths, and that one piece of ribbon will give you two pinecone ends. So if you want your cluster to be full of 10 pinecones, you only need to cut 5 pieces of ribbon.
3.) Next, place glue in the center of the pinecone, and secure ribbon. Press the ribbon firmly on the glue with a pencil (no burnt fingers needed!).
4.) Continue securing the ribbon ends to the pinecones until the cluster appears full and even.
5.) Once you have your desired amount of pinecones and ribbon lengths, tie all the ribbons together in the center with a piece of twine.
6.) Then, to finish off the wreath, tie a large bow at the top of the cluster. We chose red chevron ribbon, as it added a fun pop of color + pattern.
And there you have it! The easiest cluster wreath ever invented:).
Cheers to the holidays and all the lovely crafts that accompany this magical season:).

Vt. sees unexpected increase in tax collectionsBy DAVE GRAM
The Associated Press | May 04,2013MONTPELIER Lawmakers grappling with how much revenue they need to raise in the coming fiscal year got some welcome news Friday: an unexpected boost in April tax collections of nearly $27 million.
A significant share of the money $8 million to $12 million is expected to go back out in tax refunds, and lawmakers had already made plans last year for any surplus that materialized in the fiscal year that ends June 30.
But theyre also in the midst of trying to work out taxing and spending plans for the next fiscal year. The extra revenue should make the process somewhat easier, said both Steve Klein, chief of the Legislatures Joint Fiscal Office, and members of the House Ways and Means Committee.
Both Klein and House Speaker Shap Smith said its too early to say how much stock should be placed in the future strength of tax collections. Preliminary figures show that April personal income tax collections were $32.2 million above what was forecast in January. But Klein cautioned that sales and use tax revenues, a good indicator of consumer activity, came in short of their forecast by 10 percent.
Its not a picture of an economy rebounding, he said.
Klein said recent federal tax law changes may be prompting some high earners to report higher incomes in 2012, shifting some income from the 2013 federal tax year, when rates will be higher.
But he joined Rep. Jim Masland, D-Thetford, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, in saying the extra money might make negotiations easier between the House and Senate conferees to resolve differences in the two chambers tax plans.
The House is looking to raise $27 million in new revenues, while the Senate is eyeing $9.4 million in new taxes, with a key difference being that the House wants to put more money into the states reserve funds.
Budget provisions passed last year said that half of theextra money in this fiscal year would go to reduce property taxes, and a quarter each would go into a reserve fund and to offset cuts in federal funding. Fridays preliminary revenue figures appear to mean theres money to support the House goal of beefing up reserves.MORE IN Vermont NewsLong-time city employee casualty of Barre budget process Full StoryMONTPELIER A new legislative report says the livable wage needed to make it in Vermont...

Side mirror biggest clue in hit-and-run
SINTON - A driver's side mirror is the biggest clue authorities have in finding the motorist who killed a 24-year-old man walking across U.S. Highway 181 north of Sinton.
Jesus Juan Soto, 24, of Corpus Christi, died Saturday as a result of injuries he suffered when he was struck by a vehicle late Thanksgiving night.
Department of Public Safety Trooper Eric Jimenez said the driver's side mirror, which authorities found at the scene on U.S. 181 near County Road 28, appears to be from a sport utility vehicle or a Ford F-150 pickup.
Soto, who authorities said was in Sinton visiting his girlfriend, was hit about 11 p.m. Nov. 27.
Soto was walking in a construction area that is not well lighted and he was deaf, so he probably did not hear the vehicle approaching, Jimenez said.
A couple passing by saw Soto lying in the middle of the road and called for help.
Soto was taken by HALO-Flight to Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial in extreme critical condition with multiple chest and head injuries.
Funeral services for Soto will be held at 10:30 a.m. today at Memory Gardens Funeral Home, 8200 Old Brownsville Road. Burial will be in Memory Gardens Cemetery.
How you can help
Anyone with information about the accident that killed Jesus Juan Soto should call the Department of Public Safety in Sinton at 361-364-6232.

ammo is very expensive ,recoil is excessive,not a popular cartridge to find ammo for on hunting trips better off with 300wsm, regards M.G
I really don't see that much advantage over the 300 Win Mag. Of course you'll have more velocity and flatter trajectory but it'll come at a cost of more recoil, powder, and muzzleblast. The 300 Win Mag is just about my limit of recoil comfort when shooting off the bench. That's just my personal opinion and if you're dead set on the 300 Ultramag it does offer advantages but you'll find the ammo is not near as widely available as the 300 Win Mag.
Sometimes you earthlings REALLY amaze me!
I bought a reamer for the 300 Ultra when it was introduced and the popularity, if not huge, was sufficient to make the reamer purchase worthwhile. It is interesting to note that at least half of the people I made 300 ultra Mags for came back with a request for a lighter recoiling, lighter, hunting rifle within a couple of years. One guy said he didn't really appreciate his 30/06 until he used the RUM for a year. GD
What are you wanting to hunt with it?
If the pain is lacking so is the discipline... "the only 911 call I need is chambering a round" - Mr. Muller, MO car dealer
I generally favor cartridges that have a larger case capacity, so I can get the velocity level I want without running at maximum pressures. The .300 RUM can be loaded down to equal full power .300 Win Mag velocity. If I didn't already own a .300 Win Mag, I would consider the .300 RUM, but that's just me, and I handload all my ammunition.
They are BIG loud heavy and all over just about worthless. The 300 RUM is HUGH and I believe slightly over bored for the 308 dia bore. Yes you can load it down or you can run it maxed out. It will not kill anything quicker than a 308 or 30-06 or even a 300 wm.
just hard to beat 300 win mag unless you step up to a 338 win
Plus no one wants to be round you when you are shooting. I had a buddy that would take his ground hog shooting. He shot once and that was it no ground hogs for the rest of the day. Not because he killed anything but because he scared them all back in their holes. Plus 180gr Nosler BT are not really what I would call a ground hog bullet.

Obama administration officials scrambled Friday to hunt down copies of a new book scheduled to be released next week that paints an unflattering portrait of a dysfunctional and acrimonious White House that sometimes stymied President Obama's effort to rescue the country's economy.
The book, "Confidence Men: Wall Street, Washington and the Education of a President," by journalist Ron Suskind, comes at an inconvenient time for an administration that increasingly finds itself on the defensive over questions of effectiveness. The Washington Post obtained a copy of the book Friday.

IN WIN may be a name that most buyers don't recognize right away. I rarely ever see them discussed when someone is looking to build a new computer, regardless of the size of the case desired. From my own personal experience, I think IN WIN has very innovative ideas, as well as some "spins" on older ideas that they strive to make function properly, while still giving you a stylish piece to look at.
Pieces from IN WIN such as the Na incorporated an actual porcelain Sushi plate on top of the storage unit. Even the Matrix, while designed to pack as much in as little space as possible with simple lines on the outside, made it an attractive addition to any setting. Our latest submission keeps the "get as much stuff in as little room as possible" concept, but the outside is a whole other concept rather than simple and elegant. This chassis will also make a striking addition to any surrounding, as did its predecessors.
Today we get to look at the X-Fighter mid-tower from IN WIN. The interior hosts a few nice features, which I will discuss soon. The exterior, as I mentioned before, takes a whole other approach. Bold lines, splashes of bright accent colors and the use of a bit of "stealth", IN WIN hides a lot of things from the first glance! Let's get into the specifications and on to the images, so you can get a look for yourself at what IN WIN offers this time around.

After more personal testing... I may have to put Cho as my new go-to. His ganks are still entirely skill based, but I was easily clearing to 4 at 3:40... with 2 pots left over. It doesn't hurt that he got a lot of nice new item tools to work with and now has even more build options.
Protect me Tomoe
Whats your view on Cho'gath, stonewall? He has innate sustain and decent ganks, so I'm wondering where you rank him in the list you posted last page.
I don't know if I am doing it wrong or something. But I have jungled in a lot of PBE matches, and I didn't end up with significantly more golds than live in almost all of them. Maybe the gold in jungle does increase greatly later in the game, but that really doesn't benefit junglers as much as it sounds since starting from mid-game, your teammates are gonna steal most of ur jungle creeps anyway.
I dont know. Control jungles and farm jungles just dont seem like they'd be very effective. Control jungles only serve to really shut down the farmer. Becuase the control jungles can't start doing thier thing before level 4. Which is where you have to stop a gank jungle. Once a gank jungles got his ganking tool in hand (his CC skills). Hes done being in the jungle forcing the control to chase him around the map all game. This control jungles need to do well early as late game they dont bring very much to the team. Furthermore, If a control jungle can rangle in a ganker, he has applied no extra preasure onto the lanes, thus his team will have to have strong match ups. I get the idea of rock paper scissors, but a farmer jungle doesn't beat out a ganking jungle. As that just means the ganker has even more free rain over the lanes, allowing the jungler to apply his pressure to all lane unstopped. Further more alot of the gankers like maokai and shaco are so strong that they can just go kill a farmer as well. If the ganker can't kill the farmer on his own. A successful gank can easily result in a raid on the enemy jungle. Therefore, really you're just left with the ganker jungle. I say this to not say that your wrong mr. stonewall, but to express my concern..

To develop a hummus recipe with a light, silky-smooth texture and a flavor profile that would balance chickpeas, tahini, lime juice, garlic, and olive oil, we emulsified the chickpeas and oil in the food processor. For the best flavor in our hummus recipe, we chose our tahini carefully and used it generously.
Makes about 2 cups
1/4cup water
2tablespoon lime juice
1/4cup tahini, stirred well
2tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1(15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2teaspoon salt
1/4teaspoon ground cumin
1/8teaspoon cayenne
2tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1teaspoon curry powder
1. Combine water and lime juice in bowl; set aside. Whisk tahini and oil together in second bowl.
2. Process chickpeas, garlic, salt, cumin, cayenne, cilantro, and curry powder in food processor until coarsely ground, about 15 seconds, scraping down bowl as needed. With food processor running, slowly add water mixture until incorporated and process until smooth, about 1 minute. With food processor still running, slowly add tahini mixture until incorporated and process until creamy, about 15 seconds, scraping down bowl as needed.
3. Transfer hummus to serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let sit until flavors meld, at least 30 minutes. (Hummus can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.) Serve.

US 5309500 A Abstract A cellular mobile station is operable in a telephone mode and a time data display mode. During the time display mode, the station constantly receives an area identifying code transmitted from a cellular mobile communications system. On crossing a boundary between adjoining cell-site areas, a time difference value is entered from a keypad into a location of a memory corresponding to the received code. This process is continued on a learning basis to store as many time difference values into the memory as there are cell-site areas along the route of a journey. Following the learning process, the station constantly receives an area identifying code and recalls one of the stored time difference data from the memory corresponding to a code received on crossing a boundary and modifies displayed timepiece data with the recalled time difference.
Claims(4) 1. A cellular mobile telephone set operable in a telephone mode and a time data display mode, said telephone set including a receiver for receiving area identifying codes transmitted from a cellular mobile communications system and a keypad, comprising:
a timepiece for constantly generating time-of-day data; a memory; write control means responsive to said receiver during said time data display mode for storing a plurality of successive time difference data entered from said keypad into said memory respectively corresponding to area identifying codes successively received by said receiver; read control means responsive to said receiver during said time data display mode for recalling one of the stored time difference data from said memory corresponding to an area identifying code received by said receiver and modifying said time-of-day data with the recalled time difference data; and a display for displaying the modified time-of-day data. 2. A cellular mobile telephone set as claimed in claim 1, wherein said read control means comprises means for comparing an area identifying code most recently received by said receiver with a previously received area identifying code and recalling said time difference data from said memory when said compared codes differ from each other.
3. A cellular mobile telephone set as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the stored time difference data is indicative of a time difference of a local area with respect to a user's home area.
4. A cellular mobile telephone set as claimed in claim 1, wherein said read control means comprises buffer means for storing time difference data recalled from said memory and adder means for combining data stored in said buffer means with the time-of-day data from said timepiece, said display unit displaying the combined data.
Description This is a divisional of application Ser. No. 07/756,656 filed Sep. 9, 1991 now U.S. Pat. No. 5,258,964. The present invention relates to a time-keeping apparatus. When travelling in a continental area having different time zones, travellers have to adjust their wrist watches to the local time on crossing a boundary between adjoining time zones. This represents an undesirable situation when the travellers are driving an automobile. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a time-keeping apparatus capable of adaptively updating a time-of-day display with stored time differences with respect to a user's reference location. The present invention utilizes area identifying codes transmitted from a cellular mobile communications system as an indication of the location of travel for updating timepiece data. According to one aspect of this invention, there is provided a time-keeping apparatus which comprises a timepiece for constantly generating time-of-day data. A receiver is provided for receiving area identifying codes transmitted from a cellular mobile communications system. A plurality of time difference data are prestored in locations of a memory which are accessible as a function of a received area identifying code. On crossing a boundary between adjoining cell-site areas, one of the prestored time difference data is recalled from the memory corresponding to a received area identifying code and the time-of-day data is modified with the recalled time difference data and put on display on a display unit. According to another aspect of this invention, the time difference data are successively stored into the memory on a learning basis as the user travels along a route. The apparatus includes a keypad for manually entering time difference data and time difference data are successively entered through the keypad and stored into the memory corresponding to successively received area identifying codes. The apparatus is advantageously incorporated in a cellular mobile telephone set by sharing its receiver and control functions. The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a mobile station incorporating the adaptive time-keeping apparatus of this invention; FIG. 2 is a view showing details of the memory of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is a flowchart of instructions programmed in the controller of FIG. 1 for operating the mobile station during a time display mode; FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a time-keeping apparatus of the invention; and FIG. 5 is a flowchart of programmed instructions of the controller of FIG. 4. Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown an adaptive time-keeping apparatus according to the present invention. The function of the time-keeping apparatus is shown as incorporated in a hand-held portable telephone or a mobile unit installed in an automotive vehicle, and includes an antenna 1 for receiving incoming signals from and transmitting outgoing signals to a nearby site of a cellular mobile communications systems. The telephone receives area identifying code signals from cell sides as it is moved from one cell to another. The area identifying code is transmitted in a specified control field of an overhead message which is used in cellular mobile communications. For example, in the cellular system designed to the EIA (Electrical Industries Association) standards, 14 bits are assigned in the control field of the overhead message to identify a cell site and its serving area. The incoming signal is passed through diplexer 2 to a receiver 3 in which it is demodulated with a local carrier from a frequency synthesizer 4 and applied to a controller 6 in which it is decoded. A mode select switch 16 is provided for supplying a signal to controller 6 to indicate that the apparatus is in a telephone mode or a time display mode. During telephone modes, ringing signal is applied from controller 6 to a tone ringer 7 for alerting the user and speech signals are supplied to a handset 8. Dialing signal from a numeric keypad 9 and speech signal from handset 8 are decoded by controller 6 and modulated by a transmitter 5 onto a carrier from synthesizer 4 and transmitted through diplexer 2 from antenna 1. The called telephone number may be displayed on a liquid crystal display unit 10. A timepiece 11, an adder 12, a time difference buffer 13, a time-of-day buffer 14 and a time difference memory 15 are connected to controller 6. Timepiece 11 is an electronic clock that counts clock pulses from a timebase, not shown, and constantly generates time-of-day data. The output of timepiece 11 is supplied to controller 6 as well as to one input of adder 12 and the output of time difference buffer 13 is applied to the other input of adder 12. Adder 12 provides a sum of these input time data to time-of-day buffer 14, whose output is coupled to controller 6. During time display mode, keypad 9 is used to enter time data into controller 6, and display unit 10 is coupled to the output of buffer 14 to provide display of its time-of-day data in a manner as will be described later. As shown in FIG. 2, memory 15 is partitioned into first-column locations 17 for storing various area identifying codes and second-column locations 18 corresponding to locations 17 for storing time difference data. These data are stored in a learning process which will be described later. Controller 6 is programmed as shown in FIG. 3 to perform time-keeping operations. During a time display mode, the program starts with decision step 20 which checks to see if the program execution is initial startup or restart. If the execution is initial startup, control branches to initialization step 21 in which home-time registration flag F is set equal to 0. Exit then is to decision step 22 to check to see if "home time" is entered through keypad 9. In this specification, the term "home time" represents the time of day of the home position of the apparatus, or residential place of the owner of the apparatus. If no data is entered from keypad 9, control loops step 22. If home time data is entered, the program branches at step 22 to step 23 to check to see if the entered home time is equal to data indicated by timepiece 11. If the answer is negative, control exits to step 24 to set the entered home time data into timepiece 11 to make an initial adjustment of the timepiece, and goes to decision step 25. If the entered home time is equal to the timepiece data, control branches to step 25. At step 25, control checks to see if the identifying code of the cell site of the owner's home area is received. If this is the case, control branches to step 26 to store the received identifying code and zero time difference data into locations 17 and 18 of memory 15, respectively, since the home area is always taken as a starting point of a journey and the time difference of a locality is measured with respect to it. Exit then is to step 27 to set flag F to 1, indicating that home time registration is complete, and control jumps to step 29. If the area identifying code is not received within a specified period of time, the program branches at step 25 to step 28 to generate alarm sound from tone ringer 7 to indicate that home time registration is unsuccessful, and control returns to step 22 to repeat the process. If the apparatus is restarted regardless of whether the home time data has been registered or not, the program branches at step 20 to step 29 to check to see if flag F is set equal to 1. With the home time registration being complete, the restarting of the apparatus causes control to branch at step 29 to step 30, entering an updating mode in which the contents of time-of-day buffer 14 are updated with time differences which may be successively encountered as the mobile station is travelled along the route of a trip. Step 30 is looped to check for reception of an area identifying code. At step 31, a most recently received code is compared with a code previously received along the route of travel. If there is a match, control returns to step 30 to repeat the process. If the mobile station has crossed a boundary between adjacent cell-site areas, the most recently received code differs from the previous one and the program branches at step 31 to step 32 to make a search through the memory 15 to compare the most recent code with each stored code to detect a match therebetween. If there is no match between corresponding area identifying codes, control branches at step 32 to a learning process which begins with step 33. At step 33, alarm sound is generated to urge the user to enter time difference data. The difference between the time of day of the user's home area and the time of day of the local area in which the mobile station is now located is manually entered through keypad 9 into controller 6. Control exits to step 34 to check to see if time difference data has been entered. If so, control branches at step 34 to step 35; otherwise, it returns to step 30 repeat the process. At step 35, the most recently received code and the time difference now entered through keypad 9 are stored into respective locations of memory 15, thus completing a learning process and allowing control to return to step 32. With the most recent code been stored into memory 15, the answer is positive at step 32 and control branches to step 36 to read out the time difference just stored in memory 15 using the most recent code as an address pointer and stores the recalled data into the time difference buffer 13. Thus, the time difference data is summed with the current timepiece data by adder 12 to supply time-of-day data that represents the time of day of the local area to the time-of-day buffer 14. Control now returns to step 30 to repeat the process. By repeating the learning process as the mobile station continues along the travelling route, time difference data may be accumulated in memory 15 until it arrives at a destination, while step 36 is repeated to adaptively change the displayed time of day with the successively varying time differences. Along the return journey, area identifying codes are successively received and checked against each of the codes stored in memory 15 (step 32) and the corresponding time difference data is read out of the memory into buffer 13 (step 326) so that its contents are automatically updated and the time of day of the successive local areas of the return route is displayed and the time difference is successively reduced as the home area is being approached. When the mobile station has returned to the home area, the home area code is received (step 30) and control branches at step 31 to step 32 to check it against the code stored in memory 15 during the home registration routine described above. Since there is a match, the program branches at step 32 to step 36 to read a zero time difference out of memory 15 into buffer 13 so that the time difference is finally reduced to zero. The time-keeping part of the apparatus can be made compact by separating it from the telephone part of the apparatus as it needs no signal transmission. As shown in FIG. 4, diplexer 2, transmitter 6, ringer 7, and handset 8 are eliminated for exclusive reception of area identifying codes for adaptively updating the time of day data. In this embodiment, the keypad 9 of FIG. 1 is also dispensed with, and display unit 10A is directly connected to the output of adder 12. A simplified version of control circuitry can be employed for controller 6A. In addition, the program of controller 6A can be further simplified as shown in FIG. 5 by providing a memory 15A in which time differences are prestored by the supplier, eliminating the learning process for relieving the user's burden. In FIG. 5, the program starts with decision step 40 to check for the reception of an area identifying code and on receiving it, control branches to step 41 to check it with a previous code. If a mismatch occurs, control branches to step 42 to read out a corresponding time difference data from memory 15 into buffer 13 to update the time-of-day data indicated by display unit 10A. The foregoing description shows only preferred embodiments of the present invention. Various modifications are apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention which is only limited by the appended claims. Therefore, the embodiments shown and described are only illustrative, not restrictive. Patent Citations

Plenty to blame for Bethlehem Catholic wrestling controversy
— We have a bona fide problem with no clear resolution in the Lehigh Valley, and everybody involved deserves a slice of the blame for letting it get to this point.
Bethlehem Catholic. Or rather, the perception of Bethlehem Catholic.
You might have heard of this high school and its wrestling program. Used to be really good back in the day, but now has developed into this national superpower since making Jeff Karam its coach.
Anyway, a strong level of resentment and outrage has sprouted across the Valley as a result, the roots taking firmer hold with every gold medal won. The Golden Hawks wrapped up their fourth straight PIAA 2A state dual-meet crown on Saturday.
Never mind that this school and all the other nonpublic schools in District 11 and, in fact, throughout the PIAA, have always benefited from the transfer policies that are at times impossible to fairly enforce. Nobody ever complains when these schools, which have always had students and athletes from multiple school districts and even multiple states, are not dominating any particular sport.
Becahi's wrestling team, in fact, was a friendly foe for the better part of the 2000s, losing more than it won, thereby helping its opponents achieve higher standings and better postseason positions and so forth.
But now that it's beating everybody badly, it's the pariah that has an unfair advantage, the scourge of society, no matter how well its young men represent themselves and their communities, wherever they may be.
Bethlehem Catholic and everything it stands for must immediately be made to reorganize into a more submissive opponent that "plays by the same rules" as everyone else and starts losing again, the way it used to, when everything was right with the world.
Subtext: Jeff Karam is the younger brother of famously outspoken Liberty coach Jody Karam, who has been known to, ahem, not approve of the transfer (aka recruiting) practices that go on in the Valley.
It's a delicious irony that has enhanced their sibling rivalry, or detracted from it, depending upon one's perspective. We'll get to that in a second.
For now, more subtext: Jody's son, emerging auto racing star Sage, doesn't even wrestle for him. He goes to Nazareth because the family lives in the Nazareth school district, and Nazareth Area High School is where you're supposed to go when you live in the Nazareth school district.
Unless, of course, you're Catholic. Or you're 6-foot-9 and can go to your left or some such. Or you are part of any one of 100 or so other situations in which you could wind up at Becahi, Central Catholic, Notre Dame, Pius X, Moravian Academy, Wyoming Seminary, Blair Academy or even any of the many dozens of public high schools within a reasonable driving range of Nazareth. (Reasonable for athletic purposes anyway).
Back to the rivalry.
Jody last season refused to allow his nephew, Cole Karam, son of Jeff, to wrestle for Becahi against Liberty when he was one-tenth of a pound over the limit at weigh-ins. Jody could have allowed Cole to go, especially because his participation would not have influenced the outcome of the match, won 41-15 by the Hawks.
But he didn't.
This brings us to the first night of this season's district duals, when Palisades coach Omar Porrata, who used to wrestle for both Karams and later served on Jody's staff at Liberty, decided to make some sort of a statement by forfeiting all 14 weight classes to Becahi.
Whether it was over Becahi's general advantages in procuring wrestlers or over Karam's decision not to weigh in a few of his best performers, including his son, Luke, and Zeke Moisey (thereby reinforcing Porrata's contention earlier this season that Palisades gets no respect) remains open to interpretation.
Porrata on Saturday did nothing to clarify these theories when he finally broke his silence in a brief phone conversation — his first with any reporter since before the incident, which has landed him in a crucible with the PIAA.
District 11 has set up a hearing next Sunday to consider sanctions.
"There's a lot of stories going around," Porrata said. "I don't think it would be right to say anything until the hearing."
So we wait for that.
In the meantime, Bethlehem Catholic has locked itself into 2A wrestling for the next two seasons instead of moving up the way defiant former Hawks football coach Bob Stem did to chase the big boys in the playoffs.
Karam tried to explain his motives between shutouts in the first and second rounds of the state duals on Thursday. His Hawks went on to win by scores of 73-0, 62-0, 59-3 and 41-15 against the best Pennsylvania's small schools have to offer.
"I just feel that we're a Double-A school," he said, "and we get a lot of great competition in this Double-A tournament. … We definitely have the benefit of wrestling a Triple-A schedule during the season and I think it's great that we can jump into Double-A at the end of the year and wrestle some different teams. And believe me, we get challenged."
If that sounds like a political cover story, that's because it just may be that. Karam might have been taking a bullet there. No way to know for sure.
Nevertheless, Becahi had a chance to step up into some generally tougher competition and declined. So there's that.
The PIAA's failure to get a better handle on athletic transfer enforcement over the years is another factor. Why instant eligibility is allowed in most circumstances still boggles the mind.
Then there's the often misguided outrage, which will always exist at some level. But if any of it comes from whispers people claim to hear from the Becahi wrestlers that they're good enough to beat so-and-so with their JV squad, then these athletes need to shut up too.
The only real way out of this is to make the default setting for all transfers be one calendar year of complete athletic ineligibility. The only exceptions would be for athletes and their guardians who must first reach out to arrange and possibly pay for special hearings before a district committee in which the onus is entirely on them to prove athletics played no role and plead for a special exemption.
At least make it a little tougher for them.
Kind of like moving up to 3A.

Despite another Pro Bowl season, quarterback Tom Brady, with three votes, did not make either first or second team, beaten out by first-teamer Peyton Manning (43 votes) and Aaron Rodgers (four votes). Brady missed the second team by one vote after throwing for 4,827 yards and 34 touchdowns and eight interceptions while completing 63 percent of his passes. Then again, I'm sure the AP and NFL would like to honor someone who'll be at the Pro Bowl. Tom usually either sits it out or is kinda busy getting ready for one more week of football. KevinSGtr That's too bad. I'm a big fan of TB. But there are many haters especially here in Eagles country. They were all so happy about TBs 2 Super Bowl losses to the NYGs. However, I'm also in Ravens land and us AFC fans have much respect for the Brady/Bellichick axis. Overall, sports media make me ill. Just like the MSM! WDC Go Texans!
