As a Vietnam veteran and a resident of Liberty County, where so many trees have been planted in recent years in memory of fallen warriors from Fort Stewart, I took a special interest and satisfaction in the recent success of our U.S. military taking down enemy No. 1 in the war on terrorism, Osama bin Laden.
Here's the difference between us:
Sheila the Family Wonder Dog is one proud pooch today.
Dear Editor: I very much enjoyed reading Jameson Cunningham's thought-provoking column in last Saturday's Bryan County News regarding retired Navy captain and Sen. John McCain, and I want to thank you for publishing his comments. I concur with Jameson's opinion that the senator certainly should be considered a true American hero for what he personally endured while serving his country in Southeast Asia.
There's nothing nuanced about Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens' understanding of the state's "open meetings" law - and that's a good thing.
Each year since 1969, the federal government has spent more than it has taken in from taxes, causing the United States Treasury Department to borrow to keep up with Congressional spending. The federal fiscal year starts Oct. 1 and during the first four months of this year, the treasury has had to borrow $169 billion just to pay interest on the borrowed money.
Normally, an uptick in the unemployment rate would not be considered good news. But it is a peculiarity of the economic recovery that April's increase in the unemployment rate from 8.8 percent, a two-year low, to 9 percent is actually cause for optimism.
Finally, our summer vacation has been planned. I'm quickly learning that making plans as a civilian and making plans as a military dependent are two very different things.
Dear Editor: We, the members of the Richmond Hill Senior Center, would like to publicly acknowledge our heartfelt thanks to St. Joseph's/Candler Hospital and especially Mr. Bob Duckworth for the most informative and interesting tour of their hospital.
I've just pulled together some poll results on a variety of questions that involve things that go "bump in the night" as well as conspiracies.
Education is an investment. That's true both for students and bill-paying parents – and states. And with increased investment comes a rightful expectation of greater returns.
In the world we live in, the mainstream heroes are many times spotlight-seeking, attention-craving artists, athletes and actors.
The key to helping families at the pump and reducing our dependence on foreign oil is to spend tax money on developing renewable energy sources. President Barack Obama actually said this in his weekly radio address. He also said we need to increase our drilling at home. Yet he deliberately makes it difficult for the oil companies to drill in the United States and offshore, knowing that the lack of locally produced oil will drive up the cost, justifying his "spend" agenda.
Shazam! It is great to be an American!
For nearly a decade, the United States has sought the capture or killing of Osama bin Laden, the Saudi Arabian-born leader of the al-Qaida terror network.
A little time has passed since Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's, which means we're far enough removed from the festivities that I can pen this opinion piece without letting those warm and fuzzy "holiday feelings" bias my sentiment. It has become clear to me that Americans are doing all they can to take God out of the holiday season, and it's disturbing.
Editor, There are a multitude of ads on TV these days from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals concerning homeless, injured, abused animals.
It happened a few months back. My father-in-law celebrated, to our great joy, his 88th birthday. There was no pomp or circumstance involved. He abhors that. Because he is among the most beautifully well-mannered people I have ever encountered, he politely took all the calls though he really wished we would just treat it as another day and leave him alone to watch the news channel.
The state of Georgia's Juvenile Justice System is going to the dogs. And that's a good thing.
As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, chairman of the Economic Development and Tourism Committee, and a member of the House's Ways and Means Committee, last week was a busy one for me. We gathered for four days of hearings at Gov. Nathan Deal's office, where the budget was presented. We also listened as state agencies offered input about budget needs and then asked questions regarding which programs worked well or were under- or over-funded.
In politics, you must take advantage of windows of opportunity. Sometimes good ideas are sidetracked by unfortunate events, a bad economy or even personality conflicts among political leaders. Given the risk of delaying decisions, Georgia needs to address its transportation shortfall quickly and practically.
My fellow Georgians: In order to keep my national certification as a modest and much-beloved columnist, it is required that I submit to you at the first of every year my State of the Column message. (Yay! Clap! Clap! Clap!) I do that gladly today. For one thing, this will be a lot shorter and less boring than the State of the Union address (Boooo!) and, also, we don't have to endure a bunch of fawning politicians trying to be seen on national television. (Yay! Ha! Ha! Ha!)
Editor, Since Georgia's own Sen. Johnny Isakson voted for discriminating against pre-9/11 veterans and later against ending this discrimination, I've penned and sent the following to then-Senate Veterans' Affairs Chairman Bernie Sanders, I-VT, who introduced the Caregivers Expansion and Improvement Act of 2013:
It happened the other day. It's funny how things so simple can remind us of things so meaningful, of those sweets that are tucked inside our hearts and unknowingly treasured.
Two weeks ago, my husband, daughter and I struggled to come up with a fun way to pass a Sunday afternoon. My mother-in-law had just been staying with us, and she left that morning to head back to Florida. Since I'd given our house a good, thorough "pre-mother-in-law-visit" cleaning before she arrived, I was completely caught up on chores and housework.
With major policy decisions on transportation, education, health care and tax reform on the legislative agenda, Georgia should think beyond the traditional approach of spending more money as the solution for every problem. Focusing on ways to enhance economic opportunity and empower individuals beats doubling down on the status quo.
Editor, On behalf of Bryan County Children's Fund, I would like to take this opportunity to extend our sincere appreciation to everyone who helped to support the program this year. We were able to provide Christmas gifts to over 400 disadvantaged children in our county. This would not have been possible without collaboration and assistance from local churches, businesses, schools, social-service agencies and many others. The communitywide response was overwhelming. We are exceptionally thankful to The Good Ol' Boys, who raised funds through the annual Santa Scramble Golf Tournament and to Pembroke Advanced Communication for use of their space ...
Editor, I read Mr. Bruce McCartney's letter to the editor regarding the Wounded Warrior Project. He is totally correct. The project is top-heavy with a greedy group of executives. The top 10 officers have a compensation package from $150,000 to $333,000 a year. The remaining funds are disbursed to over 40 distribution organizations with similar management configurations.
Allen Peake is a man on a mission. The five-term Republican state representative from Macon is the driving force behind proposed legislation to legalize medical marijuana in Georgia. He may succeed this year after suffering a setback in 2014 when the House and Senate got into a bit of political brinksmanship at the last minute and failed to pass his bill, which had sailed through the House with only four negative votes.
My parents, according to the world's definition of "cool," were not. Neither drank, nor did either ever possess a credit card. Groceries and clothing were paid for in cash, utilities paid by check, and the only monthly payments they ever allowed themselves were a mortgage for a house, a short-term loan for another farm, and a couple of cars bought, over time, and paid for quickly.

Baiyoke Boutique Hotel Bangkok Guest Reviews (59)
Whatever the ad. said, I was disappointed to find that the fee for WIFI is 200ThaiBt./hr. One advantage of this hotel is that it is only 150 metres from the Rajpralop station of the Airport Rail link (City Line, whereby you can commute to and from the Suwanaphum international Airport with in 25 minute. Also, you can connect to the BTS sky train very easy.

Boutique, in general, is good for those who welcomes a bed after a hectic day of shopping and walking. Room is small and the one I had has a stale odour. However the housekeeping is around to rid the smell with some deoderant spray. Nothing fancy but serves the purpose. Review by: Magdalene CheeDate stayed December 22, 2009 |

For a budget hotel, this is a good and resonable deal. It is near the shopping area and baiyoke Sky hotel, and restuarant is just beside it. Review by: Boon Teck TanDate stayed November 5, 2009 |

Overall the hotel is very good in term of price, location. My 6 friends and I really have no difficulty to travel around the places we wanted to visit. Plus there is a 50% discount(370BHT lunch, 420BHT dinner) for the buffet lunch or dinner threw in at the tallest building in Bangkok, Baiyoke Sky. It's really make it worth. Recommend for people who want to have good location. Review by: AnonymousDate stayed November 1, 2009 |

Baiyoke Boutique really exceeds my expectations especially for the price i paid! The lobby and the rooms are fantastic, clean and big enough. Felt really comfortable. Service was nothing fantastic except for a few of them. It wasn't really consistent. But felt really comfortable with 1 of the front office agent, she speaks a lil japanese i think as well as 1 of the managers. Bell boys are quite helpful too but the rest of the front office agents are quite rude. I would go back to Baiyoke Boutique just for the rooms that are reasonably priced.

This hotel is ok if you just want a place a sleep after a whole day of shopping and going around Bankgkok. The location is quite centralised for shopping. Other than the good location and a reasonable price that goes with it, the rest (service, facilities) are nothing memorable. There's a lot of room for improvement in terms of cleanliness (air was musty and decor looks run down) and service (e.g. empty tissue box was not replaced, half the food ran out and wasn't replenished during breakfast on one day). Anyway, was there for the shopping and the great food. :) Review by: Daren Loh Eileen TanDate stayed January 5, 2009 |

This is the 1st time I'm staying in this hotel and I am quite happy with their services. Customer service is their priority and that is what I'm looking for. I had some difficulties looking for the hotel on the 1st day as most of the taxi drivers only knew where Baiyoke Sky Hotel is. We actually have to drive thru Baiyoke Sky to get to Baiyoke Boutique. Getting out to the main road on Petchaburi is quite tough as we need to squeeze thru a crowded lane which is opposite Platinum Mall. But nevertheless, the hotel is great. Recommended.

Overall the hotel is nice to stay except that is a bit noisy when people walk pass thru and talk loudly.And the carpet is a bit easy therefore is will be good if they can prepare slipper for the guest to wear during the stay.I will definetely stay at this hotel the next trip i go for bkk.

The changing American demographics favor soccer's emergence as a major sporting activity. But for professional men's soccer in America to succeed, it will have to overcome the current saturation of the public's sports attention span.
The future of soccer is brighter this summer. For the first time we can say with confidence that professional soccer is here to stay, and that Klinsmann's troops have become America's Team.
Most level-headed folks know that Ann Coulter is constantly baiting her readership, and it is very possible that her remarks about soccer were meant as satirical commentary. But it did cause me to wonder why more Americans seem drawn to soccer these days.
Few people on this Earth relish self-analysis the way Mexicans do, and the country's football failures are an endless source of national introspection.
FIFA, I've read the World Cup rule book. Save yourself future agony and consider making the following changes, preferably immediately, but at least before the 2018 tournament commences.
To many of my friends in the U.S., sports often entail beer on a Sunday night. To some in Africa, it might mean making and playing with a football made from plastic bags. But this is exactly how sports unite by highlighting commonality among those who are otherwise very different.
The U.S. men's national soccer team got knocked out, but their play on the world stage will not be forgotten. Here is a handful of takeaway principles for life off the fiel.
My 15-year-old son called last night from Costa Rica where he is spending two weeks. Lucky for him, his visit coincided with Costa Rica beating Greece in the World Cup. He described how everyone was glued to the set, shaking, crying and ultimately exploding in joy.
It is no longer the case that the lowest common denominator is the only segment of the population that gets what they want. ESPN can attest to this; the U.S.-Germany tilt had more viewers watching on streaming media than the Super Bowl.
These are precious days precious in Colombia, where hope and glory at the FIFA World Cup are transforming national identity. You can't help but notice the combination of passion, patriotism and "team spirit" that bonds people to each other.
Soccer haters should get a red card. Clearly, the sport is emerging in this country.
Just beyond the pitch, the international sport of soccer is being used to reverse the epidemic of inequality and violence against women and girls.
I am definitely not what my American friends call a "sports guy." But it was with great astonishment that I recently read the article called "America's Favorite Pastime: Hating Soccer," written by a certain outraged Ann Coulter.
But whether you call it soccer, futbol or boring, Pele got it right when he called it: "O jogo bonito." The Beautiful Game. We occasional spectators from the Estados Unidos just need to learn how to watch the darn thing.
Concern that the World Cup could lead to violations of Saudi Arabia's strict gender rules prompted authorities in the province of Mecca, home to Islam's holiest city, to remove public television screens to prevent men and women from mixing.
I won't pretend I'm a true soccer fan, but I love the World Cup. It has to do with country versus country, and how much it means to the players and fans of those countries. Having been fortunate enough to have visited several foreign countries, my method of choosing who to root for is quite simple.

Game Night 3/11: Lightning at Maple Leafs
Submitted by pete on March 11, 2006 - 20:48"And with the 14th pick in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft the Tampa Bay Lightning select..."
Sean Burke actually played well the first two period before the flood gates opened. He allowed 5 goals on 30 shots in total. Honestly, I don't know what more there is to say right now. The cavalry isn't coming. The deadline's passed and Coleman, Boutin, O'Brien and Dicaire are probably too green to help shore up this club. What's worse than the defense and goaltending though is that the Lightning's forwards are showing themselves to again be incapable of scoring timely goals. Completely incapable. And if you're defense isn't going to be solid every night, you'd better get those timely goals.
70 points with 18 games left and a 4 point lead on 9th place. Is anybody going to step up?

When you're ready for untamed freestyle fun, reach for the Ride Buckwild Wide Snowboard. Designed for the terrain park, but capable of shredding all over the mountain, the Buckwild Wide delivers pop and precision in a catch-free package for riders with bigger boots.
The Twin Rocker profile features a long flat section with slight rocker at the tip and tail for a hook-free feel that's still stable enough to take to the big jump line. The twin shape allows you to throw down tricks both ways, and the medium flex lets you tweak presses without making it too soft to shred steeps on. The Pop Rods 2.0 core infuses carbon strips into the lightweight wood core for extra pop.
Slimewalls urethane sidewalls absorb impact to smooth the ride when you're ripping through chunder and chop, and they're super tough for added durability. Carbon Array laminates make the board snappy and responsive for complete control in treacherous terrain and tons of pop on ollies. Cleave Edge steel edges are burly to withstand abuse from sliding rails and tapping trees. It's all finished off with the lightning-fast Fusion 4000 base, which is highly durable to withstand impacts from rails and rocks.

Common English Bible (CEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
14 The LORD your redeemer, the holy one of Israel, says, For your sake, I have sent an army to Babylon, and brought down all the bars, turning the Chaldeans' singing into a lament. | 14 This is what the LORD says-- your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "For your sake I will send to Babylon and bring down as fugitives all the Babylonians, in the ships in which they took pride. |
15 I am the LORD, your holy one, Israel's creator, your king! | 15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, Israel's Creator, your King." |
16 The LORD says—who makes a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters, | 16 This is what the LORD says-- he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters, |
17 who brings out chariot and horse, army and battalion; they will lie down together and will not rise; they will be extinguished, extinguished like a wick. | 17 who drew out the chariots and horses, the army and reinforcements together, and they lay there, never to rise again, extinguished, snuffed out like a wick: |
18 Don't remember the prior things; don't ponder ancient history. | 18 "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. |
19 Look! I'm doing a new thing; now it sprouts up; don't you recognize it? I'm making a way in the desert, paths in the wilderness. | 19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. |
20 The beasts of the field, the jackals and ostriches, will honor me, because I have put water in the desert and streams in the wilderness to give water to my people, my chosen ones, | 20 The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the desert and streams in the wasteland, to give drink to my people, my chosen, |
21 this people whom I formed for myself, who will recount my praise. | 21 the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise. |
22 But you didn't call out to me, Jacob; you were tired of me, Israel. | 22 "Yet you have not called upon me, O Jacob, you have not wearied yourselves for me, O Israel. |
23 You didn't bring me lambs for your entirely burned offering; you didn't honor me with your sacrifices. I didn't make you worship with offerings; I didn't weary you with frankincense. | 23 You have not brought me sheep for burnt offerings, nor honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with grain offerings nor wearied you with demands for incense. |
24 You didn't buy spices for me with your money, or satisfy me with the fat of your sacrifices. Instead, you have burdened me with your sins and wearied me with your evil actions. | 24 You have not bought any fragrant calamus for me, or lavished on me the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened me with your sins and wearied me with your offenses. |
25 I, I am the one who wipes out your rebellious behavior for my sake. I won't remember your sin. | 25 "I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more. |
26 Summon me, and let's go to trial together; you tell your story so that you may be vindicated! | 26 Review the past for me, let us argue the matter together; state the case for your innocence. |
27 Your first ancestor sinned, and your officials rebelled against me. | 27 Your first father sinned; your spokesmen rebelled against me. |
28 So I made the holy officials impure, handed over Jacob to destruction and Israel to abuse. | 28 So I will disgrace the dignitaries of your temple, and I will consign Jacob to destruction and Israel to scorn. |

Woman held for poisoning pensioners
Comment on this storyGrenoble, France -
A French care worker has been arrested on suspicion of fatally poisoning six pensioners in a retirement home in Chambery in the French Alps, police said on Thursday.

Broke (Billy Corben)
Sucked into bad investments, stalked by freeloaders, saddled with medical problems, and naturally prone to showing off, most pro athletes get shocked by harsh economic realities after years of living the high life. Drawing surprisingly vulnerable confessions from retired stars like Keith McCants, Bernie Kosar, Leon Searcy and Andre Rison, as well as commentary from Marvin Miller, the former executive director of the MLB Players Association, Bart Scott of the New York Jets and many other informed voices, this fascinating documentary digs into the psychology of men whose competitive nature carries them to victory on the field and ruin off it.

Pyloric Stenosis
Pronounced: Py-loric sten-OH-sis
En Español (Spanish Version)Pyloric stenosis is narrowing of the opening from the stomach to the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. Narrowing prevents food from passing freely between the 2 structures. Pyloric stenosis affects your baby's ability to get adequate nutrition and hydration. The sooner your baby is treated, the better the outcomes.
Pyloric Stenosis
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The narrowing is caused by an enlarged muscle surrounding the pylorus. The exact cause of the enlarged muscle is unknown. It is believed to be the result of several factors, which may include:
- Genetics
- Structural defects that occur during fetal development
- Bacterial infection, such as Helicobacter pylori

Florida law repeals ethanol mandate
Posted onA Florida state lawmaker's effort to repeal a requirement that all gasoline sold in the state have some ethanol in it has succeeded with the passage of a bill Gov. Rick Scott signed last Friday.
"It's one more mandate off the books," state Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fort Walton Beach, who has been trying to achieve the repeal since he took office in 2010, told Northwest Florida Daily News.
Service stations can continue to sell gas containing ethanol if they wish, Gaetz said. Last year Gaetz neutered the 2008 law requiring ethanol use by getting legislation passed that said businesses could not be sanctioned for selling ethanol-free gas.
State Sen. Greg Evers, R-Baker, sponsored the Senate version of the repeal bill.
"Big news," Evers said. "It's a great thing for all the residents of Florida."
He said the new law could lead to lower prices at the pump.
"Hopefully, it will allow jobbers and distributors to bring more unblended fuel in and make it more accessible for older cars, small engines and boats," he said. "Hopefully, it will even lower the cost of unblended fuel."

Expert: Teach kids early about money decisions
PHOENIX -- Teaching your child to make smart money decisions should start as early as possible, a financial expert said.
"Parents can talk to their kids more about money," said Michelle White with Mass Mutual. "The conversation isn't being had in many households."
Whether a child receives an allowance, monetary gifts on special occasions or they earn money for completing chores that are beyond expected household obligations, the money should be budgeted to include a majority of the dollars going to their college education.
"Parents can talk with their kids about making smart choices with their money, helping them identify what is a 'want' and what is a 'need,'" said White. "Saving should always be first."
The key to helping your child grow into a financially responsible adult rests with the parents. White said teaching them to budget, spend responsibly, save habitually and allowing them to make mistakes could lead to successful money management habit later in life.

Northern Iraq, remembering Robin Williams, and examining Ebola
U.S. foreign policy in the widening gyre of Iraq, Israel, Afghanistan and beyond
Massoud Hossaini/AP
NATO military vehicles leave the Camp Qargha, west of Kabul, Afghanistan, Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2014. Earlier in the day, a man dressed in an Afghan army uniform opened fire on foreign troops at the military base, killing a U.S. two-star general and wounding others, among them a German brigadier general and a number of Americans troops, authorities said.
This summer has seen new conflicts with deadly consequences everywhere from Africa to the Middle East to Asia.
The scope of these challenges has led Stephen Walt, Professor of International Relations at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, to write that it's time for the U.S. to "walk away and not look back."
"Most of our interventions have actually gone the opposite of what we really wanted," Walt says. He's not proposing a new era of American isolationism. but says the U.S. should "stop trying to manage the politics of the region."

MONTPELIER Vermonts senior U.S. senator says he hopes a farm bill now working its way through Congress will save taxpayer money while continuing assistance for dairy farmers and conservation programs.
Leahy says the farm bill which the Senate will resume working on after the Memorial Day recess replaces the existing dairy program with a retooled system focused on avoiding an oversupply of milk.
He said its hoped that the new approach will smooth out what have been big fluctuations in wholesale milk prices.
Meanwhile, Leahy said the farm bills conservation programs include new incentives for farmers to address runoff that has been blamed for polluting Lake Champlain and rivers feeding it.MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full StoryThe Associated Press Full StoryPolice: Man robbed Full Story -

UPDATED: Thursday, June 3, 2010 - 10:58pm
Japanese Americans are moved to internment camps. After the Pearl Harbor attack, President Roosevelt signed an order authorizing the evacuation of all persons deemed a treat to national security, mainly U.S.-born Japanese persons. Within the next four years, approximately 122,000 men, women, and children were placed in internment camps.

The Favorite Game
September 19, 2014 | by Ezra Glinter
Leonard Cohen in love.
"Desperation is the mother of poetry."
—Leonard Cohen
Like most people, I remember the first time I had sex pretty well. I can recall the surprisingly adept flirting I carried off beforehand, and the moment of pleasant shock when she kissed me. I remember how we stayed in bed until three the next day and how when we finally got up, faint from hunger, we went to eat at a greasy spoon that had a little jukebox by each table. I have no idea what I ordered, but I do remember that she got a grilled cheese sandwich. In the next year and a half that we were together, I don't know if she ever ate another one.
We all have memories like that, jumping out of oblivion like buoys in the water. The facts might be fuzzy, but the moments are clear. Leonard Cohen describes such a memory in his first novel, The Favorite Game, published in 1963, when he was twenty-nine:
What did she look like that important second?
She stands in my mind alone, unconnected to the petty narrative. The color of the skin was startling, like the white of a young branch when the green is thumb-nailed away. Nipples the color of bare lips. Wet hair a battalion of glistening spears laid on her shoulders.
She was made of flesh and eyelashes.
Cohen, who turns eighty on Sunday, is exceptionally good at drawing out those moments of sexual crystallization. It's a skill that, along with his gravelly voice and poems about women's bodies, has given him a reputation for being a "ladies' man." Judging by the adoring crowds at his shows, it's a reputation he deserves.
Yet it isn't success with women that accounts for Cohen's particular vision, even if his fame as a lover may have, over time, borne the fruits of self-fulfilling prophecy. Rather, his work is shot through with fears of physical deficiency and sexual deprivation, loneliness and insecurity. "He could not help thinking that … he wasn't tall enough or straight, that people didn't turn to look at him in street-cars, that he didn't command the glory of the flesh," he writes of his autobiographical protagonist in The Favorite Game. Decades later, in his 2006 poetry collection Book of Longing, Cohen confessed: "My reputation as a ladies' man was a joke / that caused me to laugh bitterly / through the ten thousand nights / I spent alone."

The Habits of Highly Erotic People
February 6, 2014 | by Susannah Hunnewell
What can the French teach Americans about sex?
Last month, as the New York Post went into paroxysms over the latest French presidential love triangle, we found a more academic comment on French habits of the heart, thanks to our attendance at a panel on "The Art of Sex and Seduction," sponsored by the Alliance Française. On the first of its three nights, entitled "Did the French invent love?", Catherine Cusset, a former professor of French literature at Yale, told a story:
A countess invites a young man to her house after running into him at the opera. After a stiff meal with her husband, who retires to his private apartments, the countess leads her guest down a secret passageway into a bedroom. The walls and ceiling are covered with gilded mirrors. Sexual frenzy ensues. At daybreak, the giddy, exhausted young man emerges from the den and runs into a marquis who has just arrived. The marquis thanks him profusely. The young man realizes that he has served merely as a decoy to distract the count from his wife's true lover. The husband appears for breakfast and greets the marquis cordially. The last line of this story—Vivant Denon's No Tomorrow, first published in 1777—reads, "I looked for some moral to this adventure and … I could find none."
"There is no moral lesson," Cusset said pointedly, and a communal gasp could be heard in Florence Gould Hall. Throughout the series, the audience was susceptible to gasps, audible stirring, and sudden eruptions of laughter. The French and American panelists, who included historians, scientists, sex therapists, and journalists, spoke about vaginas and orgasms in that purposefully blunt way one always expects and yet can seldom prepare for. Here's what we learned about the difference between French and American sexual customs and attitudes, with a few startling facts about tout le monde. Read More »
Dirty Parts
July 9, 2013 | by Kate Levin
The last time I slept with Carolyn she pushed me off her in the midst of our lovemaking and turned away from me.
At first I did not understand what it was she wanted. But she bumped her behind against me until I realized that was what I was being offered, a marble peach.
No, I said.
Try it. She looked over her shoulder. Please.
I came up close behind her.
Just easy, she said. Just a little.
I went in too fast.
Not that much, she said.She said, Oh.
I pressed in, remained, pumped. She arched, clearly in some pain.
And I found, suddenly, that I was thrilled.
I started raiding my parents' library on the belief that reading their books would let me reproduce their thoughts. Same words in, same ideas out: the alchemy made sense to a middle schooler. When I started plucking novels from their shelves in an investigative frenzy, I was surprised that my parents didn't seem more concerned about their privacy. Couldn't they see that I was about to tunnel into their psyches? Wouldn't their jig soon be up?
A nice theory, but a book or two later, the ominous fog of adult tension that drove me to espionage in the first place still pervaded our house, inscrutable as ever. If novels couldn't help me decipher it, I consoled myself, at least they could help me escape it; that much I knew from an established history of total, meal-skipping absorption in the Lois Lowrys and L. M. Montgomerys on my own bookshelf. So I kept at my parents' paperbacks with a shrug of "why not?"—feeling at times engaged and accomplished, at others bewildered and bored—until the day I picked up Scott Turow's Presumed Innocent and wandered into that passage, in which the narrator found, suddenly, that he was thrilled.

Scenes Not Included in Henry James's The Ambassadors (NSFW)
May 16, 2013 | by Paul La Farge
Part First
In the evening of his first day in Europe, Lambert Strether anxiously imagines sucking his friend Waymarsh's cock. He hasn't ever sucked anyone's cock, and doesn't want to. It's just something he imagines when he is anxious. Waymarsh, meanwhile, is thinking about the young receptionist at the hotel. He'd like to fuck her standing up. From behind. Since his wife went mad, he only ever imagines fucking women from behind. Downstairs in her room at the same hotel, Maria Gostrey wonders if Lambert Strether is a homosexual. When they met, he couldn't stop glancing at her breasts, but later, when they went for a walk in the public garden, he seemed positively afraid of her. Now Strether is alone with Waymarsh, that brute. Could they be fucking? How sad, she thinks, that two Americans should travel so far just to fuck. Don't they fuck in America? she wonders.
A Rosier Crucifixion: The Erotic World of Henry Miller
July 26, 2012 | by Hannah Tennant-Moore
Henry Miller has just been laughed at for rhapsodizing about Walt Whitman. He's sore. A woman enters the apartment. Henry drags her into the bathroom. He fastens his "lips to her red mouth."
"Please, please," she begged, trying to squirm out of my embrace. "You'll disgrace me." I knew I had to let her go. I worked fast and furiously. "I'll let you go," I said, "just one more kiss." With that I backed her against the door and, without even bothering to lift her dress, I stabbed her again and again, shooting a heavy load all over her black silk front.
I closed my copy of Miller's The Rosy Crucifixion restored my tray table to its upright position, and avoided eye contact with the gaunt elderly woman in the aisle seat as I squeezed past her legs. Read More »
The Fetish
February 16, 2012 | by Vanessa Blakeslee
The slim novel came my way quite by accident. I had stumbled across a review of the film The Lover and ordered a VHS copy through my movie-of-the-month club. The first Saturday I could secure a house free of hovering parents, my fellow honors English friends and I, as sex obsessed as we were lit geeks, watched, enraptured, Marguerite Duras's autobiographical depiction of an adolescent girl in French Indochina who embarks on an affair with a wealthy Chinese man. The girl's family is crass and impoverished, but she is a good student and wants to be a writer. Soon after, I got my hands on a paperback with a cinema-still cover and was not disappointed.
"I'm fifteen and a half," the unnamed narrator repeats early in the book. "There are no seasons in that part of the world, we have just the one season, hot, monotonous, we're in the long hot girdle of the earth, with no spring, no renewal." Nothing suggested sex as much as sensual lyricism, warm, distant places, and anything French.
I was also fifteen and a half, a virgin consumed with the mysteries of sex, of forbidden encounters. I was also going to be a writer. I read the book and watched the film again and again. Just what was The Lover's appeal? By then I had discovered Lady Chatterly's Lover and Lolita, but Duras's novel resonated more acutely, an exotic Lolita tale but told from the woman's (if she could be called that) point of view.
My favorite section was where the narrator describes herself on the ferry, wearing gold lamé high heels and a man's fedora: "Going to school in evening shoes decorated with little diamanté flowers. I insist on wearing them. I don't like myself in any others, and to this day I still like myself in them." It is the day she is about to meet the "Chinaman" for the first time. She is fixated on this particular, outlandish ensemble, as stubborn as a child playing dress up. But the faint hint of pedophilia, of prostitution, fell so far into the background that it became practically invisible to me then, obscured by the striking imagery and strange, lush atmosphere of colonial Saigon.

White Rice Linked to Diabetes
POSTED: Friday, March 16, 2012 - 7:18pm
UPDATED: Saturday, March 17, 2012 - 10:05am
Eating white rice several times a week may increase your risk for type two diabetes.
Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health studied the diets and health of adults in Asian countries, and in the United States and Australia. They found the risk for developing diabetes goes up ten percent with each additional serving of white rice a day.
The studies did not look at why this link exists, but experts said white rice can cause a sudden spike in blood sugar and is low in fiber.

Apple updates iWork iOS apps to version 2.1
Apple has issued updates for the iOS editions of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. All three — updated to version 2.1 — gain the ability to share password-protected documents via iCloud link, in line with the recent iWork for iCloud update. The suite sees improved compatibility with Microsoft Office 2013 documents, and bug fixes and stability improvements. Additionally, each app has its own individual upgrades.
For example, Pages now allows character counts with or without spaces, and improved support for bidirectional text, while Numbers users can view and edit spreadsheets in landscape orientation. Keynote has absorbed the features of Keynote Remote, which has been removed from the App Store, and can now control presentations on other devices. There are also new transitions among the other changes.
Apps: Baldur's Gate II, In Fear I Trust, Podcasts 2.0.1 + Sidecar Ride 3.0
Beamdog's Baldur's Gate II ($15) Enhanced Edition has arrived on iPad.

Apple vows to fix iOS 7 crashes
Apple said a future iOS 7 update will resolve the bug that causes devices to crash and reboot. "We have a fix in an upcoming software update for a bug that can occasionally cause a home screen crash," Apple spokesperson Trudy Muller said to Mashable. It's expected the fix will arrive with the official release of iOS 7.1, which is currently in its fourth beta. A separate update for this specific issue could even come before iOS 7.1 is released.
Apps: Beats Music, Box 3.0, Epicurious 4.0 + Zoo Animals
Beats Music has released its anticipated streaming music service in the App Store. Though the app download itself is free, Beats Music is a subscription service that costs $10 a month after a one-week free trial. There is no ad-supported free version of the service. Beats Music offers more than 20 million songs that lets users stream or save to a device to listen while offline. It's very similar to other streaming services; other than a few minor features, the Beats name and mood-based station creation are the biggest distinguishing factors.
Box (free) has updated its app to version 3.0.0. The redesigned cloud content management app now offers 50GB of free lifetime storage to iOS users. This update includes a new preview experience, faster document rendering and photo loading, and a real-time search for files. Box is also in the process of becoming integrated into other apps, including a revised version of iTeleport Connect that was just released.
Apple releases iOS 7.1 beta 4 to developers
Apple has released iOS 7.1 beta 4 to developers. The new beta includes bug fixes and improvements, less than two weeks after the third beta was released. We'll update this article with any notable changes as they're discovered.
Adobe reportedly bringing Lightroom to iPad
Adobe will apparently be bringing its Lightroom photo editing and management suite to iPad, 9to5Mac reports. Lightroom for Mobile was briefly featured on Adobe's website before getting pulled, and an Adobe chat representative confirmed the program is built for iPad. It appears that apart from the Lightroom iPad app, a $99 annual subscription will let users sync Lightroom photos in the cloud. An exact release date for Lightroom on iPad is unknown at this point.
Apps: Google Play Movies & TV, Shadow Blade, Waterlogue + Yahoo News Digest
Google Play Movies & TV (free) is now available for the first time on iOS. Google's app lets users watch movies and TV shows that were purchased or rented from Google Play. At the moment, streaming video only works over a Wi-Fi connection. TV shows are currently available in the U.S., U.K., and Japan.
Shadow Blade ($2) from Crescent Moon Games is a Strider/Shinobi-style ninja action game — in fact, it bears more than a passing resemblance to the upcoming official Strider title from Capcom. Featuring touch controls and a wide variety of weapons, Shadow Blade emphasizes the ninja aspect of the game, rewarding players for "playing sneakily." Main character Kuro has to avoid traps and sneak around enemies in addition to fighting them head-on. Shadow Blade features 40 levels.
VirnetX adds products to FaceTime infringement suit
VirnetX, the patent holding company which successfully sued Apple for infringing its VPN patents in FaceTime in 2012, has added more Apple devices to its pending patent infringement lawsuit. As announced by VirnetX, the holding company is now adding the iPad Air, iPad mini with Retina display, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, and "latest Mac computers" to the litigation against Apple. The company is also including the "iPod Touch with Retina Display," which could refer to the fourth- and fifth-generation iPod touch; however, the current lawsuit has already included the fifth-generation iPod touch. VirnetX maintains that Apple infringes upon its VPN patents, including workarounds Apple redesigned for iOS 7.
Apple initially changed the way its VPN On Demand connected in iOS after the loss of the first lawsuit. However, the company decided to reverse course weeks later, and change its VPN On Demand connection back to how it always worked. The reversal caused speculation that Apple and VirnetX appeared to reach an agreement of some kind — that obviously now appears to be false. Apple was ordered to pay $368.2 million for the loss of the first lawsuit, and lost an appeal.
Apple patents automatic motion-adjusting UI
A patent granted to Apple today describes a user interface in which onscreen graphics are automatically adjusted when the device is in motion. The patent background suggests that it's harder to interact with a graphical user interface while the user is in motion; the patent would enable the device to adjust the GUI based on measurements of that motion. For instance, touchscreen buttons in the UI could be made larger while the device is moving, making the buttons easier to use.
As another example, graphic features could be moved around for ease of use. The patent also describes implementations in which the device "learns" how a user's device moves and can make adjustments accordingly. Apple originally filed for the patent in Nov. 2007. [via Apple Insider]
Apps: Assassin's Creed Pirates 1.1, GoodReader 3.20, INKredible + Kindle 4.1
Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Pirates ($5) has added Nassau as a new location in version 1.1.0. Nassau features 10 new secondary missions, 12 new treasures, 3 new ships to unlock, and a new pirate, Charles Vane. Vane is notably featured in a new campaign mission. New defense gameplay has been added, as well.
GoodReader for iPad ($5), the PDF reader from Good.iWare, has upgraded to version 3.20.0. A new user interface and full iOS 7 compatibility await users. The app now features faster PDF rendering, a new audio player, and a number of other new options that make for a better, easier user experience.
Apple device theft driving NYC larcenies
New York City has seen decreases in many major crimes during the last 12 years, with the exception of grand larcenies — a category which is increasingly being driven by the theft of Apple products, the Wall Street Journal reports. The New York Police Department attributes a rise in grand larcenies from last year to the trend of stealing electronic devices, and Apple products made up more than 18 percent of all grand larcenies last year. The NYPD tracks Apple device thefts specifically due to their frequency. An Apple spokeswoman said that Apple has "led the industry in helping customers protect their lost or stolen devices" with the 2009 release of the Find My iPhone app, which the NYPD recommends Apple users activate. The police department also has its own program that allows people to register their e-devices.
iOS 7.1 beta 3 released
Apple has released its third beta for iOS 7.1, including bug fixes and improvements. The beta also notably features redesigned swipe to power off graphics, tweaks to the look of the Phone application for iPhones, and a variety of other cosmetic changes. iOS 7.1 beta 2 was released in mid-December.
Apps: 2014 CES, Sonic & All-Stars Racing, Southwest 2.1 + Tweetbot 3 3.2.1
The Consumer Electronics Association's free 2014 International CES app is devoted to next week's Consumer Electronics Show. A list of exhibitors is featured, as are floor maps of the gigantic show. Events and keynotes are also listed, in addition to speakers and conference sessions. If you're going, make sure to stop by the iLounge Pavilion. We'll see you there!
Sega has released Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed ($5), a new racing game featuring Sonic, Tails, and the rest of the gang. Cars, boats, and planes can all be raced through changing courses full of alternate routes and power-ups. Four-player multiplayer is supported online and locally. The game also supports iOS controllers.
Nokia pulls HERE Maps app, blames iOS 7
Nokia has pulled its HERE Maps app from Apple's iOS App Store, citing changes in iOS 7 as the reason. A Nokia spokesperson said in a statement to The Indian Express, "We have made the decision to remove our HERE Maps app from the Apple App Store because recent changes to iOS 7 harm the user experience. iPhone users can continue to use the mobile web version of HERE Maps under m.here.com, offering them core location needs, such as search, routing, orientation, transit information and more, all completely free of charge." The app was removed from the App Store earlier this month. HERE Maps launched for iOS in November 2012 and received a fair bit of publicity at the time as it was released for iOS prior to Google Maps, amidst ongoing uproar over Apple's botched release of its new iOS 6 Maps service.
Apps: Duolingo 3.1.1, Google Search 3.2, QR Reader 4.0 + Zagat 2.0
Duolingo — recently selected by Apple as its iPhone App of the Year — has updated to version 3.1.1. The intuitive free language learning app now lets users practice all skills and strengthen skills at any time. A new Language Coach feature keeps users dedicated and on track. Also, Duolingo has added Lingots, a new virtual currency that can be traded in for extras. Like everything else in the app, Lingots are free.
Google has updated its Google Search (free) app to version 3.2. The app has been updated for iOS 7 with true full screen browsing. Faster image search has been added for iPad. The app also features better integration of the Google Maps app.
Report: Cook to visit Turkey over potential iPad deal
Apple CEO Tim Cook will reportedly visit Turkey in 2014, according to Turkish site emlakkulisi.com. Cook will meet with Turkish President Abdullah Gül regarding the country's Fatih Project, which plans on acquiring 10.6 million tablet computers for the country's education program. Cook will be looking to secure the deal, which could be worth $4 billion. It's also noted that Cook will visit Turkey's first Apple Store in Istanbul during his visit. It's notable that Turkey has seen three cabinet ministers resign in recent days, with one of the ministers calling for Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan to resign, as Reuters reports, political upheaval that could threaten the tablet deal. [via Apple Insider]
Apps: Build-A-Truck, Cut the Rope 2, Infinity Blade III 1.2 + Ridge Racer Slipstream
Duck Duck Moose's new Build-A-Truck ($2) allows kids to — you guessed it — build a truck. Children can create a truck, then add paint, decals, wheels, and all sorts of other crazy contraptions to their vehicle. Kids can then race their truck, which is legitimately fun, and the design chosen for the vehicle affects how the truck drives. Collecting stars during the racing game lets kids unlock additional objects to customize the truck.
Cut the Rope 2 ($1) is ZeptoLab's sequel to the popular Cut the Rope. The new game offers 120 levels, and five new characters, "the Nommies," each affecting gameplay in their own ways. Other new gameplay tweaks have been added — Om Nom can sometimes even be moved now. He can also be customized with new hats, if you're into that sort of thing. Fundamentally, the gameplay and graphics are extremely similar to the original titles, but the new levels are neat.
Apps: Angry Birds Rio HD 1.8, Camera+ 5, Disney Animated 1.0.4 + République
Rovio's Angry Birds Rio HD is now free in version 1.8.0. The game also has added 26 new levels — 20 standard levels and 6 bonus levels to unlock. Two new characters have also been introduced into the game: Stella, with her bubble blower, and Rocket Bird, who appears in the new bonus levels.
Camera+ ($2) from tap tap tap has updated to version 5, which introduces "The Lab" — a collection of cool new photo editing options. The new features include an adjustable clarity filter, auto-straighten, tint adjustments, soft focus and film grain effects, blurring, sharpening, and more, all designed to make real-world practical photo editing as easy as possible. An iOS 7 wallpaper creation feature is also present. Dozens of icons within the app have been redesigned to match iOS 7, as has the app icon itself.
Apps: Mickey Mouse: Mash-Up, Tomb Raider, UltraTuner + Yahoo Weather 1.5
Disney's Mickey Mouse: Mash-Up ($4) lets children participate in the "making" of a Mickey Mouse cartoon. Kids can draw a handful of objects that can appear in the short cartoon, which is titled "No Service!" You can then watch your creations appear and interact with them, including scenes in which Mickey and Donald Duck swap clothes, and Mickey has to hide behind objects you've created. Timeless and deliberately silly, the Mash-Up app is good as-is, but could really benefit from additional shorts for kids to play with.
The classic 3-D adventure and shooting game Tomb Raider ($1) from Eidos/Square Enix is now available in the App Store. Interestingly, it's being billed as Tomb Raider I, which suggests that the sequel will be available at some point. The full game from 1996 is included, in addition to two extra "Unfinished Business" chapters included in the 1998 Tomb Raider Gold re-release. Tomb Raider supports iOS game controllers, as well as on-screen input, though the controls remain as dicey as they were decades ago.
