State officials announced last week that the infant mortality rate in Maryland fell to an all-time low in 2012, and the trend is reflected in Charles County.
The overall infant mortality rate in Charles County fell from 8.2 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2011 to 3.6 in 2012. For Southern Maryland as a whole, the rate dropped from 5.9 in 2011 to 3.6 in 2012.
For the state, the rate fell from 6.7 per 1,000 live births in 2011 to 6.3 in 2012. According to a state news release, 458 infants died in 2012, compared to the 493 lost in 2011.
The overall trend shows a decrease in the number of infant deaths. The rate for the county from 2008-2012 was 6.4, down more than 30 percent from the rate of 9.2 from 2003 to 2007.
"Education and outreach activities provided by the [Fetal Infant Mortality Review] Board of Charles County and the Department of Health's 'Babies Born Healthy' and 'Infants and Toddlers' programs have had a positive effect on the infant mortality rate in the community," Charles County Health Officer Dr. Dianna E. Abney said. "We are pleased with the success this data indicates; however, it is imperative that our efforts continue into the future. Any infant we lose for any reason is one too many."
The infant mortality rate for African-American children in Charles County also decreased significantly. In 2011, 11 African-American babies died in the county, while six died in 2012, dropping the rate from 13.5 to 6.7. Three white babies died in 2011, and one died in 2012.
Charles County Department of Health spokesman William Leebel said that Charles County had 1,836 live births in 2011. County-specific statistics were not available for 2012, and Leebel said there was not a breakdown by race available. Overall, 73,052 babies were born in Maryland in 2011.
Leebel said that several different factors contribute to infant mortality.
"The one factor that we definitely know is big is premature birth," Leebel said. "There are others we can't quite nail down, like drug, alcohol and tobacco use during pregnancy. These things put the infant much more at risk."
Charles County Board of Education member Jennifer S. Abell, who also serves as the suburban Maryland division director for the March of Dimes, a group geared toward preventing premature births and the resulting complications, said she was pleased to hear of this year's results.
"The March of Dimes is thrilled to see the rate of infant mortality decrease in Charles County. ... There are numerous initiatives and March of Dimes supported programs which have contributed to this decrease as well as the decrease in premature birth rates observed in recent years," Abell wrote in an email. "Many factors have contributed to the decline in infant mortality rates in recent years, including expanded health care access for young women and parents, and expanded access to family planning services, local public health efforts, and promoting safe sleep practices. There's still work that needs to be done, however. The March of Dimes continues its work to prevent premature birth, birth defects and infant mortality through research, education and vaccines."
Charles County National Association for the Advancement of Colored People President Janice Wilson was similarly excited about the results.
"That's awesome!" Wilson said Thursday. "I guess we can attribute this to more awareness and better prenatal care, along with the demographics. The African-Americans who are coming into Charles County are better educated, and with that comes better prenatal care. They also bring in higher income levels. I think it will contribute overall to better health for African-Americans. I'm just ecstatic about that. It says we're progressing, that things are moving in the right direction."

There are many areas that government agencies should consider when working to improve mobility infrastructure and strategy. In the year 2016, the use of BYOD in government is expected to climb to 74 percent as agencies work to take advantage of this phenomenon.

Concert review: Alternate Worlds by Tze n Looking Glass Orchestra
Published on Jul 27, 2014 8:50 AM
Esplanade Recital Studio
Last Saturday
Looking through the programme booklet, one gets a sense that largely self-taught composer and jazz pianist Tze Toh was trying to do too much with too little time. He had put together a "genre concert" of his compositions which promised video game music, jazz, funk, world music, choral works, film soundtracks and improvisations; these were to be performed by ensembles of various combinations: a saxophone quartet, a children's choir, a string quartet, a wind quartet, a solo saxophone and the Looking Glass Orchestra (which was really an ensemble of 12 musicians). Throughout the concert, Tze rushed around like a busy host, introducing the performers and the pieces either before or after each item, talking about the works as the crew set the stage.
Tze was at the piano for most of the concert, except for two pieces, Adventures Of The Goggled Giraffe and Prelude To Avalon, which were played by 7-year-old Aone Ozaki. The former was a lively and comical miniature for piano orchestra, and the latter was a sentimental solo piano piece. Ozaki handled these expressively with sensitive pedalling and a varied touch, with no sign of nervousness.

How can I get bigger garlic bulbs?
I've been harvesting garlic this past week. The bulbs look firm and healthy, but once again I'm kind of disappointed. The bulbs are all fairly small, nothing like the size of the ones I see in the grocery store. Some were just fat, single rounds. I have plenty of garlic. Running out certainly won't be a problem. But how can I grow bigger bulbs?
I planted garlic last fall (October-November) in four different beds. Two of the beds are in-ground. One gets morning sun till about noon, then dappled sun all afternoon. The other gets a little less sun.
The other two were raised beds, filled with bagged soil, and get full sun all day. The plants in those beds were definitely bigger and taller. That might have made some difference in the size of the bulbs, but not that much.
I fertilized about every 4-6 weeks with an organic fish emulsion/kelp fertilizer and watered regularly until about a week ago.
Last year, I harvested during the July 4th weekend. This year, the plants started flopping over and turning yellow about 7-10 days ago, although quite a few are still plenty green, and I'm going to let them go until they get mostly brown.
Am I doing something wrong? Or does homegrown garlic just never get as large as store-bought garlic?
Home-grown garlic should be bigger than store bought, in my experience. Be sure you are starting with the biggest cloves in the bulb only. I generally only use four to six of the biggest cloves in each head and use the "rejects" (and they are hardly that) for eating.
Perhaps you aren't fertilizing enough. I put in a granular organic fertilizer (Dr. Earth's 4-4-4 this year) at planting time and a several inch thick layer of manure at the end of winter when the plants start to look starved.
I used to go the liquid fertilizer route but it didn't seem to be doing the trick the manure does--I would have to fertilize every time I watered and still didn't get the results I had this year with the chicken manure.
One aspect of this the others failed to mention is the size of the cloves you planted. We men have been told forever that size doesn't matter...in the garlic growing business size does matter. I am growing some German Red for a fellow grower, He supplied the seed. The seed he gave me to plant was half the size of the cloves I planted of my own stock. His plants are half the size of mine right now and in the next couple weeks when I pull them I'll bet his aren't as big as mine either.
I think the manure idea is good, I use horse manure and quite a bit of it before I plant. I do use fish emulsion a couple times in the spring.
Please don't spend that much money on seed stock, I spent a bunch last year and got some huge Russian and Romanian red bulbs from the garlic store...they were nice but at $22.00lb they better be gold. I think People are starting to figure out they don't have to spend that kind of money on good seed when there are so many great small growers out there at half the price
Check out www.crankycarlsgourmetgarlicfarm.com or www.wegrowgarlic.com for good quality stock without the outrageous prices
I always made sure to plant the biggest, fattest cloves I could. Any small cloves in the bulb I just ate. The raised beds certainly got plenty of sun. It must be a fertilizer issue. I fertilized once every month or several weeks with organic kelp/fish emulsion, which is a gentle fertilizer. Next year I'll fertilize more heavily and see what that does.
Chesnok Red and Red Rezan gave some respectable looking bulbs. I'll plant the biggest cloves of those this fall. Ontario Giant was misnamed. Miniscule bulbs! The Georgia Crystal, Music, and Polish Hardneck produced some tall plants with thick stems. I haven't pulled those yet. They look like they'll be impressive, but I'll see what they look like when I harvest them.
Thanks for the comments. I'll have to check at Lowes for some bags of manure. I live in a suburb close in to the city. No chicken farms down the street from where I live. :-)
I bought 8 types of garlic last year from a garlic specialist at my local farmer's market. I told her why I was buying them; she commented that the clove size doesn't necessarily matter! That kind of surprised me because it seems logical to plant the largest cloves. Anyway, I can't confirm or deny the validity of her statement, I'm just passing it along. And I haven't dug any yet, but pretty soon! Maureen
One other thing to mention on fertilizer ... too much, especially nitrogen late in the season, can be as bad for garlic as too little. If there are high enough concentrations in the soil at the start of bulbing, the garlic will delay sizing up or just produce rounds. You might want to get a soil test before you plant this fall and see what you need to add as well as hold off on any nitrogen based fertilizers past late April / early May in your zone.
I don't use fresh chicken manure, but rather the composted kind that comes in a bag. The smell is a lot nicer, let me tell you, and it is much more pleasant to use, as well. It simply packs more bang for the buck than does steer manure which is so low in nutritional value that it isn't even taxed here in CA unlike the chicken manure.
Lilacs, are you snipping off the scape? That alone will nearly double the size of the bulbs. I'm very familiar with the climate and temps in Denver Metro, and I wouldn't pull the garlic before July. It's during the last couple of weeks that they put on significant size. If you're digging them and they aren't clearly divided into cloves, you're early.
I usually pull mine ASAP after the 4th of July, but this year, its been so cool during the spring that I'll likely wait until late July. I also leave a few scapes in a row, and when they straighten up, then (usually), time to pull in a week.
I've been snipping off the scapes (and eating them) as soon as they form the first curlique. And I'm trying to wait as long as possible before I dig them, but when they're lying flat on the ground and are completely brown (or nearly), I figure they're not going to be growing any more.
So far I've dug up maybe 30-35%. Like I said, I'm trying to wait as long as they let me.
Ok, then I'd agree with everyone else, it's probably a question of fertilizer, and I'd also agree that manure is the way to go.
Another thing *might* be that the soil dried out sometime over last fall / winter. My garlic isn't what it should be this year, because it was so dry back in Oct. Nov.
You wrote: "Some were just fat, single rounds."
That indicates a water shortage from one or more reasons. Could be inadequate rain and or irrigation, or too much crowding, or too many weeds.
And as was said, garlic needs sufficient nitrogen.
In any event, those rounds are fine planting stock for next year's crop.
I pulled mine yesterday, and it sure isn't anything to brag about. I'd tilled in plenty of manure and compost last fall, and side dressed them again this spring. But October and November were so dry around here that I was worried I'd lose plants and the garlic was barely above ground, and then we had two inches of rain and two feet of snow on the ground for 3 months. I suppose I should be glad that they survived.
Do you mulch them? I get outstanding results which I attribute mostly to a fairly heavy layer of straw or hay or grass clippings mulch. This not only smothers the weeds which rob nutrients from the garlic, but it also keeps moisture even which is important for big bulbs. I don't use much fertilizer because we have chickens which provide plenty of chicken manure compost, but it sounds like you might need to fertilize a bit in your situation. I really like Espoma Plant Tone - it's organic, fairly inexpensive, and widely available. Apply fertilizer in the spring, then cover with mulch. For the past several years, I've also been growing the garlic in no-till beds which I'd also recommend. People love to cultivate the soil, but really there's no need, and in fact you're doing more harm than good. Feed from the top with compost, manure, or organic fertilizer, and then cover with mulch.
I had bigger garlic in the raised beds. They had more sun, better soil, and I covered them with leaves last fall and took them off in the spring when the garlic began to poke through.
They were bigger than the in-ground beds with poorer soil, less light, and no mulching, but they still weren't anything to write home about. Golf ball size rather than marble size, but I want them FIST size!
Hi Everyone:
My answers are actually questions, factors that might be worth considering:
1) Perhaps everyone was assuming that "Lilacs" was planting in the fall; if it happened in spring, that would be a drawback.
2) The larger store-bought garlic cited for comparison may have been grown in a higher latitude. After the vernal equinox, the farther north you are the longer the days (on a given terrain) and onions, at least, and garlic, I suspect, size up better at higher latitudes. I harvested a nice, but not spectacular, dozen garlic bulbs today (July 30) and the rest will be pulled in a week now that the tops are half-brown. I live in northern Ontario, Canada, latitude 46 degrees, and while here this is rather early to be harvesting, my crop did have the benefit of forming bulbs in some of the longest days (16 hours of daylight).
Happy harvest!
Ron has a good point. If you want biggy bulbs, you gotta go with a garlic that gets that big. Some bulbs will only get 2.5" and not much bigger...it's in their genetics. Might I suggest Inchelium, it's an artichoke, has a good shelf life and can get pretty large like near 3"
Lilacs of May --
I hope you are still growing garlic! My response is two years after your post but I thought I would chime in with my 2 cents worth.
1) As others have stated, the variety of garlic is going to determine the final size of the bulb. I like large cloves also so I have switched to only growing Hard Necks. I only get 6-10 cloves per bulb but they are always much bigger. I actually weigh each clove before going in the ground and only grow bulbs larger then 8 grams. (I know it sound crazy, but hey.... I want large cloves.)
2) I only grow organically and it seems you are more concerned about adding fertilizer after the shoots are coming up in the spring then the soil you are planting the cloves in the fall. (I might be wrong, it just seems that way.) My suggestion, work on developing good rich composted soil for your raised bed. Bagged Compost is ok, but to me it is "dead" compared to a 5 gallon bucket of worm filled home "live" compost.
3) I don't see anywhere in the post as to whether you are mulching the bed or not. I put down 4-6" of leaf mulch and I think it keeps my bed overall moist and I feel it keeps the garlic growing underground longer in the winter and starts it up quicker in the spring.
4) Plant early.... In Raleigh some people don't plant until Thanksgiving, I plant around the first of Oct. I continue to believe more foliage I get in the fall above ground they more the bulbs will grow underground during the winter.
Best of Luck..... John...
Hi, I have several suggestions.... I am 100% organic. I have made every mistake there is....
1) Use big cloves.
2) Plant early Oct.( zone 5)
3) Take soil tests, make amendments, use huge amounts of well composted organic matter. Add worm casings to your soil as well as sand...You want a rich well drains very loose soil...
4) Space about 8 inches apart. Plant a little deeper 3 to 4 inches..
5) Use a slow nitrogen release fertilizer which includes bone meal.... I use Epsoma Plantone as a base and add 30% feather meal for the nitrogen ( feather meal also has a large amount of dried blood in it.) I put about 1 heaping tea spoon in the hole when planting.
6) Add Mycorhizzae fungi to your hole... Ideally mix with soil and fertilizer a little so roots will grow into it...They claim there is a 21% to 50% increase in size with this fungi alone.
7) Water 1 inch of water per week.. Very important.You will not have large garlic if you do not do this.
8) Mulch heavily.... I found the ground leaves work nicley as well as straw but the best is wood chips! Yes Wood chips at about 3+ inches in thickness.. Do not let anyone tell you different.....The disadvantage is that you have to rake them back once you have harvested the garlic if you intend to replant that bed....
9) Put 3 applications of fish emulstion down begining in March, one in April, and the final in mid May. If you make your own make sure to dilute about 1 cup per 3 gallons of water.
- If possible use rain water to water with.
- Remove all scapes as soon as they make their first curly cue.
- Harvest when you still see two green leaves and the rest is brown and yellow..Do not wait till the plant is totally brown and fallen over.
- Choose larger varieties .
Please email me with your results, I am very interested.
Holy crap. Why has no one mentioned sunlight yet?? The original post says about the garlic beds:
"One gets morning sun till about noon, then dappled sun all afternoon. The other gets a little less sun."
Garlic likes full sun. I made the same mistake a little while back. Find a place where garlic will not be shaded at any time of day. Lack of sunlight directly correlates to bulb size.
This was my first year planting garlic and just recently pulled several to see how big they were. I was disappointed. My husband and I always plant a container garden and up until now the garlic seemed to be growing gangbusters. We planted the bulbs in pro mix and composted cow manure and I can see from the posts that probably wasn't enough. The bulbs are well formed in to cloves and look great, but they are small. The few I pulled out were still green on the end. Anyway, I take it supplementing the soil with manure is the way to go?

Martynia Louisiana and what else .... ???
Clematis69(9)May 7, 2012
I have sown seeds of Martynia Louisiana in this pot. The first plant that germinated was the tall one wich I believed to be the martynia. After that there was a tomato looking like plant (wich I think it finally is) and finally there germinated this round leaved plants, wich had still attached the seeds of the martynia. But what is the tall one, a weed ?

AMD and NVIDIA Trade Allegations, Denials Over Shady Tactics 69
from the can't-we-all-just-get-along dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
If you want to talk about black box shit, look at mantle, AMD locked tech, amd claims its open yet you can't download the source any-fucking-where. They claim its closed cause its beta which is pure marketing bullshit. AMD is just as guilty even more so then nvidia for anything.
It's not just the source, you can't even get a binary or an API spec or API documentation anywhere.
Their focused on working with devs to get GameWorks shit integrated into the source code.
Just like AMD are doing with Mantle.
Yet nVidia expects us to believe that AMD is not disadvantaged by now being unable to see source code. It's your typical nVidia anti-competitive bullshit.
Obviously that's untrue but it's hard to have sympathy for AMD when they are doing exactly the same thing with their Mantle API.

This game is so time consuming, but its so awesome you won't care.
This game also seems to take what worked in SimCity 2000 and 3000, and amplified it. The tiers of what kind of cities you can make are much deeper than previous installments, and it can take a lot of time a discipline before reaching those skyscraper buildings everyone wants. This game is not for everyone.
For newcomers, simcity is a city simulation game where you have to lay zones of development space to grow your city. Adding the right services (police, education, etc), allow your city to grow properly. Once your swimming in dough, you can really start adding character to your city, or you can let it become a dump and unleashed disasters on it. There is no losing, you set your own goals.
The depth in this installment is much larger than before. There are 2 different things to consider when developing residential area, density and wealth. It is a good idea when developing a high wealth town to focus on wealth later on so you can earn money for the better stuff. The game also teaches you how to handle a budget.
Connecting cities in this game is one of the newer additions that really give new life to the series. Connecting your cities not only fills up the map, but can also open new economy deals, and increase demand in commercial and industrial areas. Thats why you might want to make one of your cities 'not so wealthy'. That way it stimulates your economy. If you want to clean up the city later, when there is better demand from other cities, you can do that. There was a lot of thought that went into designing this Simcity.
In the rush hour expansion, included in the deluxe version, you also have little missions driving through your city to earn mayor points and money. Its a little something to keep the game from becoming monotonous. Its also a good opportunity to observe the traffic in your city, and gaze at the city itself.
Overall, this game offers a lot of bang for the buck and is really addicting. It also can take a load of time to really get into it, so it might not be for everyone. Overall, Simcity fans, Sim fans, or even people who love those really complexed games, should give this a try.
Note: this game does have a habbit of crashing on some PCs. It helps to get the patch for it, but you should really save constantly. An auto save feature wouldve been kick ass.

Town Square
Should Atherton curtail large basements, or ease up on the restrictions?
Original post made by Richard Hine, editor of The Almanac, on Mar 10, 2007
Atherton homeowners' enthusiasm for basements also figures in the recent controversy over potential fire hazards in the town. While homeowners may enjoy the bonus square footage they get from basements, firefighters generally view them as potential death traps.
It's likely that the Atherton City Council will be revisiting some of the restrictions on basements in the coming months. Should Atherton continue to curtail the development of very large basements, or should it ease up on the restrictions?

My house has a big basement and all I can say is, who cares? If no one can see it then it is not an eyesore. The basement is a great place for storage and keeps our house better insulated during the winter. While I am not a fireman, I can say that the # of house fires in Atherton, or even the Bay Area, is so small that the worries concerning fire are rather antiquated.

Ramifications of #YesAllWomen/#NotAllMen in the Wake of Elliot Rodger's Killing Spree
By Anita Finlay on May 28, 2014
Struggling to make sense of Elliot Rodger's rampage at UC Santa Barbara last Friday, murdering six men and women and wounding thirteen others before killing himself, whether we blame mental illness or lax gun law enforcement, the roots of his rage were his misogynist hatred of and sense of sexual entitlement to the women he objectified, as illuminated by his chilling 137-page manifesto.
Per Amanda Hess: "Rodger hated all the women who did not provide him sex, but he also resented the men he felt had been standing in the way of his conquests..." It is too simple to dismiss Rodger as a lunatic and look away, though that may be the desired response of many.
A twitter hashtag, #NotAllMen emerged after the crimes as a reflexive male reaction, an aversion to the possibility of being grouped with a maniac. Much coverage has been devoted to the viral twitter hashtag #YesAllWomen that erupted in response, with thousands of women around the country sharing their own experiences with violence and harassment. Predictably, these messages have gotten backlash in some online communities.
Women are not blaming all men, but instead wish to enlist men; to engage and enlighten as to the daily experiences women negotiate that they would likely be exempt from if they were treated with respect. The #YesAllWomen responses have numbered over one million in the past 72 hours, and are still going strong, reflecting frustration, terror and anger boiling over at these types of events happening again and again.
Katie McDonough's piece in Salon sums it up:
It would be irresponsible to lay this violence at the feet of the men's rights activists with whom Rodger seemed to find support for his rage. …But it also denies reality to pretend that Rodger's sense of masculine entitlement and views about women didn't matter or somehow existed in a vacuum. The horror of Rodger's alleged crimes is unique, but the distorted way he understood himself as a man and the violence with which he discussed women — the bleak and dehumanizing way he judged them — is not. Just as we examine our culture of guns once again in the wake of yet another mass shooting, we must also examine our culture of misogyny and toxic masculinity, which devalues both women's and men's lives and worth, and inflicts real and daily harm. We must examine the dangerous normative values that treat women as less than human, and that make them — according to Elliot Rodger — deserving of death.
Rodger's manifesto should strike fear not only in the hearts of women, but men as well. Whatever illness he suffered, his mindset was a product of our culture, and in this case, men were collateral damage.
Rodger's behavior was also not isolated. UC Santa Barbara reported two gang rapes in the immediate months prior to this massacre. Elsewhere in the U.S., a boy just killed a girl for refusing to go to Prom with him and another man hit a woman in the head with a bowling ball, cracking her skull, because she turned down his advances.
While the loss of the men Rodger killed are every bit as tragic as the women, violence against women remains far more common. These kinds of behaviors only emerge in a culture where women are considered trophies, property, objects, toys, dolls, sluts and cartoons.
The more media, advertisers, comedians, politicians, and social media influencers objectify and denigrate women – and the majority of men, and indeed, some women, voice no objection – the message is sent that women are not human beings.
This is not about the victimhood of women, but it is realistic to note that objections must also come from men who are still in charge of the bulk of entertainment and news media and control the narrative.
"As long as violence against women, sexual or otherwise, remains strictly and exclusively a women's issue, it will always be an issue. We men must own this and we must recognize it as vital to our own survival. And we must help our brothers to see it as such."
-- Ben Affleck
Vital Voices Global Partnership
Women in colleges across the country are told to carry pepper spray and travel in packs for safety. The White House has even gotten involved to draw attention to an epidemic of under-reported violence against women at campuses nationwide.
From The New York Times:
On Twitter and Facebook, women voiced their own experiences with verbal and physical harassment and abuse. There were postings from some who said they wore fake wedding rings to avoid advances from men and others who said that saying no to a man "was only the start of negotiation."
Several others wrote about being told by boyfriends and husbands that they deserved being abused. They spoke of law enforcement and school administrators ignoring pleas for help.
Hannah Goodwin, a graduate student in film studies… said, "No one ever has the right to demand access to others' bodies, and you never owe anyone access to your body."
As a teenager getting off the subway late at night on my way home from my summer job, I remember walking ten steps behind a woman who swung a large scissors in her hand for protection. Her defensive posture and swagger told its own story. No woman does that without reason.
If I were to put up tweets of my own they would look something like this:
My mode of dress has often been determined by fear.
I grew up with eyes in the back of my head.
My father said, "Don't walk too near the buildings because they can pull you into an alley. Don't walk to near the curb because they can pull you into a car. Walk fast down the street and make a mean face."
I have been followed, flashed, grabbed, groped, insulted, catcalled and let's not forget the truck driver who screamed at me out his window, "Sit on my face, baby."
Thirty years of various on the job sexual harassment – especially when I worked at The New York Times.
I have had a man put his fist through a door six inches from my face. Message received.
And I'm one of the very lucky ones.
Slate reported on a New York Post cover story and photo intimating it was the fault of a childhood crush who didn't gratify Rodger for sending him over the edge. We can deride this by saying, "consider the source" – yet there is an appreciative readership out there that likely agrees. That, too, is not isolated.
It is never a woman's job to befriend or provide sex to someone she does not want. Period. Or who is clearly unstable and at any moment, could harm her without the slightest provocation.
The New Yorker, reported that Rodger wrote he wanted to "[O]versee a concentration camp and gleefully watch [women] all die. If I can't have them, no one will…"
Of course it is "not all men," but the rhetoric women read from Rodger reminded them of familiar rants they have heard elsewhere in their lives.

Crap, Actually
April 27, 2004
Anyone seeking evidence of the death of romantic comedy will find it in abundance in Love Actually, which arrives in video stores this week. Written and directed by Richard Curtis (best known for penning Bridget Jones's Diary, Notting Hill, and Four Weddings and a Funeral), Love Actually announces its ambitions early: Too bold to offer us a thin, unconvincing romance, it instead offers us half a dozen.

The Battle for Rome: The Germans, the Allies, the Partisans, and the Pope, September 1943-June 1944 By Robert Katz (Simon and Schuster, 418 pp., $28) Click here to purchase the book. THERE WAS A BRIEF PERIOD in European history, roughly from the beginning of the eighteenth century to 1941, when it was easy to distinguish between combatants and non-combatants; when wars were fought by soldiers clothed, equipped, and trained by the state; when men trained to be murderers on behalf of the state were severely punished if they tried to use the same methods when not in military service.

The Rules of Engagement By Anita Brookner (Random House, 273 pp., $23.95) ANITA BROOKNER IS THE great chronicler of a particular sort of female loneliness. Her typical heroine spends most of her novel exhausted "with the tiredness of one who has too little rather than too much to do." Someone has left her money, and so she does not work, or she works at something mostly solitary, such as translating or archiving. Her few friends are scattered, and during her rare moments among them she usually feels uncomfortable and unworthy, "like a humble petitioner, seeking an hour of their time, in wine b

Philosophy in a Time of Terror: Dialogues with Jürgen Habermas and Jacques Derrida Edited by Giovanna Borradori (University of Chicago Press, 208 pp., $25) I. Was philosophy prepared for the events of September 11? To judge by all available evidence, the answer must be a resounding "no." For some time now, contemporary philosophy has viewed "worldliness"—the perfectly natural idea that thought should take a healthy and constructive interest in worldly affairs—as a source of contamination. Analytic philosophy's triumph in the decades following World War II meant that henceforth philosophy would

I. Adolf Hitler's so-called second book was not published in his lifetime. Written, as Gerhard Weinberg convincingly speculates, in late June and early July 1928, the book's publication was postponed because Mein Kampf, Hitler's first massive text, was selling very badly and could hardly stand competition with another publication by the same author. Later, after Hitler was appointed chancellor and Mein Kampf became one of the greatest (and allegedly most unread) best-sellers of all times, the second book was apparently seen as disclosing his foreign policy plans too explicitly to allow publica

The most beautiful libraries exude a bookish rapture, and no libraries have more of this luminous poetry than the glorious confections, all polished wood and shining stone and white-and- gold stucco, that royal families and religious orders built in the eighteenth century, mostly in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.
Jerusalem Dispatch: Fantasy
December 15, 2003
Some two million Israeli homes recently received in the mail the 47-page text of the Geneva Accord, which claims to be the comprehensive solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Accord, a European-funded effort secretly negotiated by Palestinian officials and Israeli public figures for two years--and signed in a symbolic, lavish ceremony in Geneva this week--states that Israel will withdraw to the 1967 borders, a Palestinian state will emerge with its capital in Jerusalem, and the two peoples will recognize each other's right to statehood and resolve the refugee issue.

Elie Nadelman: Sculptor of Modern Life, Whitney Museum of American Art In the art of Elie Nadelman, sobriety and enchantment are strangely, wonderfully entangled. Nadelman, who died in 1946 at the age of sixty-four, gave sculpture's ancient mandate to turn real space into dream space a modern vehemence and an adamantine logic, but also a flash of what-the-hell insouciance.
Everyday Symbolist

Èdouard Vuillard: Post-Impressionist Master (National Gallery of Art; Montreal Museum of Fine Arts) Symbolism, an apotheosis of personal expression that swept through all the arts at the end of the nineteenth century, marked Europe's final break with the classical humanism of the Renaissance. The struggles for romantic independence that had animated artists, writers, and musicians in France, Germany, and England for more than a hundred years emboldened the Symbolists to follow their sensations wherever they might lead.

INSIDE COLLEGE FOOTBALL; Some Solid First Moves and Some Pratfalls
By Joe Drape
Published: September 1, 2003
COLUMBUS, Ohio— Nine months ago in the desert of Arizona, Ohio State Coach Jim Tressel led his team into the end zone of Sun Devil Stadium and, before 50,000 of the scarlet-clad faithful, played choir director and led a full-throated rendition of the university's alma mater, ''Carmen Ohio.''
The Buckeyes had plenty to celebrate. They had just downed Miami in double overtime of the Fiesta Bowl to capture their first national title since 1968.
Late Saturday, Tressel and his team sung along with the crowd here at Ohio Stadium after the No. 2 Buckeyes kicked off their title defense with an emphatic 28-9 victory over No. 17 Washington. But as anyone who follows college football knows, much has happened to Ohio State between those two concerts, namely an N.C.A.A. investigation that has sidelined the star running back Maurice Clarett indefinitely.
After the game, Tressel and his players obliquely acknowledged the program's turmoil, but that quickly gave way to a sentiment that was uttered in locker rooms after season openers across the nation: the first game of a new season is scary and the preparation getting there is monotonous.
''It was great to play football again,'' Tressel said. ''That's what we like to do. That's one of the reasons these guys are at Ohio State. It was great to play in front of 105,000 fans. The atmosphere was extraordinary.''
After a spring spent battling for positions on the first team, a summer of weight room training and seven-on-seven passing drills and a preseason camp of two-a-days, the Buckeyes, and most every other team in college football, finally had an opportunity to take a measure of themselves.
The results after the first baby step of the season fell into two categories -- confidence builders or catastrophes. Joining the Buckeyes in the former were No. 8 Southern California, No. 11 Georgia and No 21 Wisconsin. Headlining the latter in spectacular fashion were No. 6 Auburn, No. 18 Virginia and a hapless Clemson squad.
Somewhere in between was Nebraska, which is trying to rebound from an uncharacteristic 7-7 season in 2002. The Big Red home crowd booed the Cornhuskers when they went into halftime behind by 7-3 to No. 24 Oklahoma State, but the team rallied for a serviceable 17-7 victory.
The Buckeyes proved that 17 championship-tested returning starters could hold their title aspirations together until the Clarett situation is sorted out. The glue is quarterback Craig Krenzel, an academic all-American studying molecular genetics, whose steady leadership and improved skills should vault him into the Heisman Trophy candidacy that the flashier Clarett has most likely abdicated.
Krenzel has won 15 straight games and a national title, and with precise downfield passing and cagey running, looks capable of leading the Buckeyes back to the national championship game in the Sugar Bowl. His 15-of-27 passing for 203 yards against Washington opened up Ohio State's offense, and his two running touchdowns demonstrated that he knows when to hold on to the ball.
Krenzel also knows he is a better quarterback this season. ''It's about playing more games and getting more experience and building confidence,'' he said. ''When you do that, the game slows down for you.''
That kind of inner strength powered Georgia to a 30-0 victory at rival Clemson despite the fact that the Bulldogs were breaking in new running backs and replacing an offensive line that led them to a 13-1 record and Southeastern Conference title last season. U.S.C. also gave credence to the cliché that winning is contagious as the Trojans dominated Auburn, 23-0, on the Tigers' home field. Not much was expected of a U.S.C. team that went 11-2 last season and was trying to replace the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Carson Palmer.
The sophomore quarterback Matt Leinart had never completed a pass in college, but against the Tigers he connected on 17 of 30 for 192 yards and a touchdown. But it was the Trojans' swift although undersized defense -- embodied by the 5-foot-11, 215-pound linebacker Matt Grootegoed -- that may have undone Auburn's title hopes by holding the Tigers to 43 yards rushing and undercutting the Heisman candidacy of Carnell Williams before it ever got started.
About the only thing Auburn did right was lose early in the season, which Florida State did in 1998 and 2000 while still managing to reach the Bowl Championship Series title game. But the Tigers need to win their next 11 regular season games, and the S.E.C. championship game, and hope two other powers do not go undefeated.
The games on Saturday also made room for some personal triumphs. The highlight of Wisconsin's 24-17 victory over West Virginia was a 20-yard game-tying catch and run by the Badgers senior Lee Evans, who missed all of last season with what could have been a debilitating knee injury. Evans had more than a year to worry if he ever would return to the form that had made him Wisconsin's career leader in receiving yards.
''The catch was a big statement play for me,'' he said. ''Being strong to the ball, breaking tackles and getting into the end zone makes the statement that I'm back.''
Virginia, meanwhile, defeated Duke, 27-0, but lost quarterback Matt Schaub to a shoulder injury on the opening series of the game.
Last season, Schaub was the Atlantic Coast Conference's offensive player of the year after throwing for 2,976 yards and 28 touchdowns and leading a Cavaliers squad with 14 true freshmen to a surprising 9-5 record. Now, his senior season may be in jeopardy.
As the months between the choruses of ''Carmen Ohio'' sung by those besotted with Buckeyes football have demonstrated, there is plenty wrong with college football -- coaches misbehaving, players' sense of entitlement and the backroom business dealings of athletic directors and presidents who are supposed to be examples of the merits of hard work and fair play.
But it was an exasperated Krenzel who best put college football into perspective.
When reporters pressed him about what the Buckeyes' victory means to a defending national champion caught in controversy, he let loose a weary smile.
''We're just a bunch of kids playing a game,'' Krenzel said.
Those are wise words, indeed, for the game's rabid fans and scolding critics alike.
