--Larissa MacFarquhar, New York Times Book Review
This is not another book about civility. "Civility" suggests a superficial, pinky-in-the-air veneer of politeness spread thin over human relations like a layer of marmalade over toast. This book is about a pervasive warlike atmosphere that makes us approach public dialogue, and just about anything we need to accomplish, as if it were a fight. It is a tendency in Western culture in general, and in the United States in particular, that has a long history and a deep, thick, and far-ranging root system. It has served us well in many ways but in recent years has become so exaggerated that it is getting in the way of solving our problems. Our spirits are corroded by living in an atmosphere of unrelenting contention--an argument culture.
The argument culture urges us to approach the world--and the people in it--in an adversarial frame of mind. It rests on the assumption that opposition is the best way to get anything done: The best way to discuss an idea is to set up a debate; the best way to cover news is to find spokespeople who express the most extreme, polarized views and present them as "both sides"; the best way to settle disputes is litigation that pits one party against the other; the best way to begin an essay is to attack someone; and the best way to show you're really thinking is to criticize.
Our public interactions have become more and more like having an argument with a spouse. Conflict can't be avoided in our public lives any more than we can avoid conflict with people we love. One of the great strengths of our society is that we can express these conflicts openly. But just as spouses have to learn ways of settling their differences without inflicting real damage on each other, so we, as a society, have to find constructive ways of resolving disputes and differences. Public discourse requires making an argument for a point of view, not having an argument--as in having a fight.
The war on drugs, the war on cancer, the battle of the sexes, politicians' turf battles--in the argument culture, war metaphors pervade our talk and shape our thinking. Nearly everything is framed as a battle or game in which winning or losing is the main concern. These all have their uses and their place, but they are not the only way--and often not the best way--to understand and approach our world. Conflict and opposition are as necessary as cooperation and agreement, but the scale is off balance, with conflict and opposition overweighted. In this book, I show how deeply entrenched the argument culture is, the forms it takes, and how it affects us every day--sometimes in useful ways, but often creating more problems than it solves, causing rather than avoiding damage. As a sociolinguist, a social scientist, I am trained to observe and explain language and its role in human relations, and that is my biggest job here. But I will also point toward other ways for us to talk to each other and get things done in our public lives.
My interest in the topic of opposition in public discourse intensified in the years following the publication of You Just Don't Understand, my book about communication between women and men. In the first year I appeared on many television and radio shows and was interviewed for many print articles in newspapers and magazines. For the most part, that coverage was extremely fair, and I was--and remain--indebted to the many journalists who found my ideas interesting enough to make them known to viewers, listeners, and readers. But from time to time--more often than I expected--I encountered producers who insisted on setting up a television show as a fight (either between the host and me or between another guest and me) and print journalists who made multiple phone calls to my colleagues, trying to find someone who would criticize my work. This got me thinking about what kind of information comes across on shows and in articles that take this approach, compared to those that approach topics in other ways.
At the same time, my experience of the academic world that had long been my intellectual home began to change. For the most part, other scholars, like most journalists, were welcoming and respectful in their responses to my work, even if they disagreed on specific points or had alternative views to suggest. But about a year after You Just Don't Understand became a best-seller--the wheels of academia grind more slowly than those of the popular press--I began reading attacks on my work that completely misrepresented it. I had been in academia for over fifteen years by then, and had valued my interaction with other researchers as one of the greatest rewards of academic life. Why, I wondered, would someone represent me as having said things I had never said or as having failed to say things I had said?
The answer crystallized when I put the question to a writer who I felt had misrepresented my work: "Why do you need to make others wrong for you to be right?" Her response: "It's an argument!" Aha, I thought, that explains it. When you're having an argument with someone, your goal is not to listen and understand. Instead, you use every tactic you can think of--including distorting what your opponent just said--in order to win the argument.
Not only the level of attention You Just Don't Understand received but, even more, the subject of women and men, triggered the tendency to polarize. This tendency to stage a fight on television or in print was posited on the conviction that opposition leads to truth. Sometimes it does. But the trouble is, sometimes it doesn't. I was asked at the start of more than one talk show or print interview, "What is the most controversial thing about your book?" Opposition does not lead to truth when the most controversial thing is not the most important.
The conviction that opposition leads to truth can tempt not only members of the press but just about anyone seeking to attract an audience to frame discussions as a fight between irreconcilable opposites. Even the Smithsonian Institution, to celebrate its 150th anniversary, sponsored a series of talks billed as debates. They invited me to take part in one titled "The Battle of the Sexes." The organizer preempted my objection: "I know you won't be happy with this title, but we want to get people interested." This is one of many assumptions I question in this book: Is it necessary to frame an interchange as a battle to get people interested? And even if doing so succeeds in capturing attention, clots it risk dampening interest in the long run, as audiences weary of the din and begin to hunger for more substance?
In the spring of 1995, Horizons Theatre in Arlington, Virginia, produced two one-act plays I had written about family relationships. The director, wanting to contribute to the reconciliation between Blacks and Jews, mounted my plays in repertory with two one-act plays by an African-American playwright, Caleen Sinnette Jennings. We had both written plays about three sisters that explored the ethnic identities of our families (Jewish for me, African-American for her) and the relationship between those identities and the American context in which we grew up. To stir interest in the plays and to explore the parallels between her work and mine, the theater planned a public dialogue between Jennings and me, to be held before the plays opened.
As production got under way, I attended the audition of actors for my plays. After the auditions ended, just before everyone headed home, the theater's public relations volunteer distributed copies of the flyer announcing the public dialogue that she had readied for distribution. I was horrified. The flyer announced that Caleen and I would discuss "how past traumas create understanding and conflict between Blacks and Jews today." The flyer was trying to grab by the throat the issue that we wished to address indirectly. Yes, we were concerned with conflicts between Blacks and Jews, but neither of us is an authority on that conflict, and we had no intention of expounding on it. We hoped to do our part to ameliorate the conflict by focusing on commonalities. Our plays had many resonances between them. We wanted to talk about our work and let the resonances speak for themselves.
Fortunately, we were able to stop the flyers before they were distributed and devise new ones that promised something we could deliver: "a discussion of heritage, identity, and complex family relationships in African-American and Jewish-American culture as represented in their plays." Jennings noticed that the original flyer said the evening would be "provocative" and changed it to "thought-provoking." What a world of difference is implied in that small change: how much better to make people think, rather than simply to "provoke" them--as often as not, to anger.
It is easy to understand why conflict is so often highlighted: Writers of headlines or promotional copy want to catch attention and attract an audience. They are usually under time pressure, which lures them to established, conventionalized ways of expressing ideas in the absence of leisure to think up entirely new ones. The promise of controversy seems an easy and natural way to rouse interest. But serious consequences are often unintended; Stirring up animosities to get a rise out of people, though easy and "provocative," can open old wounds or create new ones that are hard to heal. This is one of many dangers inherent in the argument culture.
In the argument culture, criticism, attack, or opposition are the predominant if not the only ways of responding to people or ideas. I use the phrase "culture of critique" to capture this aspect. "Critique" in this sense is not a general term for analysis or interpretation but rather a synonym for criticism.
It is the automatic nature of this response that I am calling attention to--and calling into question. Sometimes passionate opposition, strong verbal attack, are appropriate and called for. No one knows this better than those who have lived under repressive regimes that forbid public opposition. The Yugoslavian-born poet Charles Simic is one. "There are moments in life," he writes, "when true invective is called for, when it becomes an absolute necessity, out of a deep sense of justice, to denounce, mock, vituperate, lash out, in the strongest possible language." I applaud and endorse this view. There are times when it is necessary and right to fight--to defend your country or yourself, to argue for right against wrong or against offensive or dangerous ideas or actions.
What I question is the ubiquity, the knee-jerk nature, of approaching almost any issue, problem, or public person in an adversarial way. One of the dangers of the habitual use of adversarial rhetoric is a kind of verbal inflation--a rhetorical boy who cried wolf: The legitimate, necessary denunciation is muted, even lost, in the general cacophony of oppositional shouting. What I question is using opposition to accomplish every goal, even those that do not require fighting but might also (or better) be accomplished by other means, such as exploring, expanding, discussing, investigating, and the exchanging of ideas suggested by the word "dialogue." I am questioning the assumption that everything is a matter of polarized opposites, the proverbial "two sides to every question" that we think embodies open-mindedness and expansive thinking.
In a word, the type of opposition I am questioning is what I call "agonism." I use this term, which derives from the Greek word for "contest," agonia, to mean an automatic warlike stance--not the literal opposition of fighting against an attacker or the unavoidable opposition that arises organically in response to conflicting ideas or actions. An agonistic response, to me, is a kind of programmed contentiousness--a prepatterned, unthinking use of fighting to accomplish goals that do not necessarily require it.
Noticing that public discourse so often takes the form of heated arguments--of having a fight--made me ask how useful it is in our personal lives to settle differences by arguing. Given what I know about having arguments in private life, I had to conclude that it is, in many cases, not very useful.
In close relationships it is possible to find ways of arguing that result in better understanding and solving problems. But with most arguments, little is resolved, worked out, or achieved when two people get angrier and less rational by the minute. When you're having an argument with someone, you're usually not trying to understand what the other person is saying, or what in their experience leads them to say it. Instead, you're readying your response: listening for weaknesses in logic to leap on, points you can distort to make the other person look bad and yourself look good. Sometimes you know, on some back burner of your mind, that you're doing this--that there's a kernel of truth in what your adversary is saying and a bit of unfair twisting in what you're saying. Sometimes you do this because you're angry, but sometimes it's just the temptation to take aim at a point made along the way because it's an easy target.
Here's an example of how this happened in an argument between a couple who had been married for over fifty years. The husband wanted to join an HMO by signing over their Medicare benefits to save money. The wife objected because it would mean she could no longer see the doctor she knew and trusted. In arguing her point of view, she said, "I like Dr. B. He knows me, he's interested in me. He calls me by my first name." The husband parried the last point: "I don't like that. He's much younger than we are. He shouldn't be calling us by first name." But the form of address Dr. B. uses was irrelevant. The wife was trying to communicate that she felt comfortable with the doctor she knew, that she had a relationship with him. His calling her by first name was just one of a list of details she was marshaling to explain her comfort with him. Picking on this one detail did not change her view--and did not address her concern. It was just a way to win the argument.
We are all guilty, at times, of seizing on irrelevant details, distorting someone else's position the better to oppose it, when we're arguing with those we're closest to. But we are rarely dependent on these fights as sources of information. The same tactics are common when public discourse is carried out on the model of personal fights. And the results are dangerous when listeners are looking to these interchanges to get needed information or practical results.
Fights have winners and losers. If you're fighting to win, the temptation is great to deny facts that support your opponent's views and to filter what you know, saying only what supports your side. In the extreme form, it encourages people to misrepresent or even to lie. We accept this risk because we believe we can tell when someone is lying. The problem is, we cant.
Paul Ekman, a psychologist at the University of California, San Francisco, studies lying. He set up experiments in which individuals were videotaped talking about their emotions, actions, or beliefs--some truthfully, some not. He has shown these videotapes to thousands of people, asking them to identify the liars and also to say how sure they were about their judgments. His findings are chilling: Most people performed not much better than chance, and those who did the worst had just as much confidence in their judgments as the few who were really able to detect lies. Intrigued by the implications of this research in various walks of life, Dr. Ekman repeated this experiment with groups of people whose jobs require them to sniff out lies: judges, lawyers, police, psychotherapists, and employees of the CIA, FBI, and ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms). They were no better at detecting who was telling the truth than the rest of us. The only group that did significantly better were members of the U.S. Secret Service. This finding gives some comfort when it comes to the Secret Service but not much when it comes to every other facet of public life.
Our determination to pursue truth by setting up a fight between two sides leads us to believe that every issue has two sides--no more, no less: If both sides are given a forum to confront each other, all the relevant information will emerge, and the best case will be made for each side. But opposition does not lead to truth when an issue is not composed of two opposing sides but is a crystal of many sides. Often the truth is in the complex middle, not the oversimplified extremes.
We love using the word "debate" as a way of representing issues: the abortion debate, the health care debate, the affirmative action debate--even "the great backpacking vs. car camping debate." The ubiquity of this word in itself shows our tendency to conceptualize issues in a way that predisposes public discussion to be polarized, framed as two opposing sides that give each other no ground. There are many problems with this approach. If you begin with the assumption that there must be an "other side," you may end up scouring the margins of science or the fringes of lunacy to find it. As a result, proven facts, such as what we know about how the earth and its inhabitants evolved, are set on a par with claims that are known to have no basis in fact, such as creationism.
The conviction that there are two sides to every story can prompt writers or producers to dig up an "other side," so kooks who state outright falsehoods are given a platform in public discourse. This accounts, in part, for the bizarre phenomenon of Holocaust denial. Deniers, as Emory University professor Deborah Lipstadt shows, have been successful in gaining television airtime and campus newspaper coverage by masquerading as "the other side" in a "debate."
Appearance in print or on television has a way of lending legitimacy, so baseless claims take on a mantle of possibility. Lipstadt shows how Holocaust deniers dispute established facts of history, and then reasonable spokespersons use their having been disputed as a basis for questioning known facts. The actor Robert Mitchum, for example, interviewed in Esquire, expressed doubt about the Holocaust. When the interviewer asked about the slaughter of six million Jews, Mitchum replied, "I don't know. People dispute that." Continual reference to "the other side" results in a pervasive conviction that everything has another side--with the result that people begin to doubt the existence of any facts at all.
Lipstadt's book meticulously exposes the methods used by deniers to falsify the overwhelming historic evidence that the Holocaust occurred. That a scholar had to invest years of her professional life writing a book unraveling efforts to deny something that was about as well known and well documented as any historical fact has ever been--while those who personally experienced and witnessed it are still alive--is testament to another way that the argument culture limits our knowledge rather than expanding it. Talent and effort are wasted refuting outlandish claims that should never have been given a platform in the first place. Talent and effort are also wasted when individuals who have been unfairly attacked must spend years of their creative lives defending themselves rather than advancing their work. The entire society loses their creative efforts. This is what happened with scientist Robert Gallo.
Dr. Gallo is the American virologist who codiscovered the AIDS virus. He is also the one who developed the technique for studying T-cells, which made that discovery possible. And Gallo's work was seminal in developing the test to detect the AIDS virus in blood, the first and for a long time the only means known of stemming the tide of death from AIDS. But in 1989, Gallo became the object of a four-year investigation into allegations that he had stolen the AIDS virus from Luc Montagnier of the Pasteur Institute in Paris, who had independently identified the AIDS virus. Simultaneous investigations by the National Institutes of Health, the office of Michigan Congressman John Dingell, and the National Academy of Sciences barreled ahead long after Gallo and Montagnier settled the dispute to their mutual satisfaction. In 1993 the investigations concluded that Gallo had done nothing wrong. Nothing. But this exoneration cannot be considered a happy ending. Never mind the personal suffering of Gallo, who was reviled when he should have been heralded as a hero. Never mind that, in his words, "These were the most painful years and horrible years of my life." The dreadful, unconscionable result of the fruitless investigations is that Gallo had to spend four years fighting the accusations instead of fighting AIDS.
The investigations, according to journalist Nicholas Wade, were sparked by an article about Gallo written in the currently popular spirit of demonography: not to praise the person it features but to bury him--to show his weaknesses, his villainous side. The implication that Gallo had stolen the AIDS virus was created to fill a requirement of the discourse: In demonography, writers must find negative sides of their subjects to display for readers who enjoy seeing heroes transformed into villains. The suspicion led to investigations, and the investigations became a juggernaut that acquired a life of its own, fed by the enthusiasm for attack on public figures that is the culture of critique.

Product description
It is the year 1152 and a beautiful woman of thirty, attended by only a small armed escort, is riding like the wind southwards through what is now France, leaving behind her crown, her two young daughters and a shattered marriage to Louis of France, who had been more like a monk than a king, and certainly not much of a lover. This woman is Eleanor, Duchess of Aquitaine, and her sole purpose now is to return to her vast duchy and marry the man she loves, Henry Plantagenet, a man destined for greatness as King of England. Theirs is a union founded on lust which will create a great empire stretching from the wilds of Scotland to the Pyrenees. It will also create the devil's brood of Plantagenets - including Richard Cour de Lion and King John - and the most notoriously vicious marriage in history. The Captive Queen is a novel on the grand scale, an epic subject for Alison Weir. It tells of the making of nations, and of passionate conflicts: between Henry II and Thomas Becket, his closest friend who is murdered in Canterbury Cathedral on his orders; between Eleanor and Henry's formidable mother Matilda; between father and sons, as Henry's children take up arms against him; and finally between Henry and Eleanor herself.

Mermaid Waters HD: A Story-based Preschool Math Game
Common Sense Media says
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Mermaid Waters: A Story-based Preschool Math Game consists of math mini-games aimed at preschoolers. Kids help Hana and Cory rescue sea creatures as they tackle math problems, such as identifying the ice cube with more or fewer fish trapped in it, and popping bubbles with a target number in it. Once they've rescued a sea creature, kids earn a sticker they can play with in the "stickery." Parents can also sign up to receive progress reports that include an explanation of the target skills and games.
What kids can learn
- addition
- counting
- numbers
Thinking & Reasoning
- problem solving
Engagement, Approach, Support
Mermaid fans will love playing. The story-based theme keeps kids engaged and adds purpose to the activities. The sticker reward system is a fun touch.
Great range of early math skills develops depth in number literacy. Even with the story-based rescue, math is baked into each mini-game.
Parents or teachers can sign up to receive detailed reports about kids' progress. Kids don't receive much feedback about their answers, though.
User reviews

Kids say
What's it about?
In MERMAID WATERS, kids cycle through math mini-game activities. In one game, for example, they compare the quantity or size of two items, with a 50-50 shot at getting the right answer. For number recognition, kids get a number and have to find all the bubbles with that number in it. For early addition, they get a basic addition problem along with appropriate objects and count the number of objects to solve the problem. The theme of rescuing sea creatures keeps the action going.
Is it any good?
Mermaid Waters is a great way to engage kids in math. More feedback would help kids understand when they've gotten an answer correct or incorrect, however the activities are in line with what kids learn in preschool and they're done in a fun and motivating way. The overall theme of Hana and Cory rescuing sea creatures is carried out throughout the activities and levels and is a great way to drive the plot and activities forward. The sticker reward system is a fun touch for kids.
As for parents, other apps provide progress reports, but Mermaid Waters takes it a step further by including explanations to help parents understand the goals of the activities and also by suggesting everyday activities so learning doesn't stop with the app.
Families can talk about...
Sign up for a Stickery account to get progress reports and ideas for extending learning with everyday activities.

On the main level, an extensive 300 sq. ft. deck with 3 season porch overlooks 125 feet of private waterfront which is enjoyed from a 25 foot dock and unique platform extending over the pristine water complete with fire pit. A second deck on the third level and a first level patio also view the gorgeous sunrises, Gunstock Mountain, and the lakefront. Please note: the main home bedrooms are accessed only by a slim spiral staircase. This may not be ideal for people with ambulatory difficulty. The summer rentals include a cozy one bedroom cottage with a galley kitchen and a living room with pull out double couch. It has its own deck also overlooking the lakefront. The property provides lakefront solitude and fun with a canoe ready for your use. Just minutes from local attractions. The crystal clear water of Lake Winnisquam makes for unforgettable summer days; the foliage against the lake is a must see in the fall; and the access to such an array of winter/snow sports makes it a property for any time of the year.
Local attractions include:
boat and jet ski rentals; trout, salmon, and bass fishing;
golf courses; White Mountain hiking; climbing; bike trails; waterfalls;
outlet shopping; movie theaters; live bandstand concerts; Meadowbrook performances;
restaurants; downtown Meredith and downtown Laconia; museums and covered bridges;
New Hampshire Motor SpeedwayNASCAR and motorcycle racing;
Skiing and snowboarding, snowmobiling, and ice fishing;
Mini-golf, arcades, and go-carts.
We rented this property during the winter due to it's proximity to the mountains. The house was extremely comfortable and spacious, and Meg was wonderful to deal with. There's a small spiral staircase on the main floor leading to the basement and 2nd floor that can be a little tricky walking up and down, but everything else about the house was excellent- perfect for larger groups and families. We're already planning another trip!
Just got back from a guys weekend at this great house! The pictures do not do it justice. The house is very comfortable with all of the amenities you could hope for. The views of the lake the from multiple decks is gorgeous. Meg was a pleasure to deal with and we all liked the house so much we're already thinking about planning another trip...but we'll bring the significant others this time haha!
I rented this beautiful home for a week in July of 2013. The woman we rented from named Meg was extremely helpful and caring throughout the whole process. I have never rented from home away.com and was nervous about th whole process and she eased my fears at any time leading up to the vacation.
The house and cottage served as a great setting for the "friend-cation" that has become sort of a tradition for the past 6 years. It was able to fit 14 adults and a 6 month old baby with no problems.
The house is a great location. It is completely off the street on a long driveway but is literally 15 minutes away from the Tilton outlets, supermarkets, dunkin donuts, etc. 25-30 minutes away from Funspot, Weirs Beach, Winnipesaukee in Meredith and a drive-in movie theatre. 10 minutes away from a basketball court and full softball field.
I would almost definitely recommend this property to both friends and family since Meg was so easy to work with and the view from the balcony during the summer made it so much harder to move back home to the city.
I plan on booking this property again. I cannot wait to do it again next summer!!!
We had a wonderful stay. Meg was wonderful to work with very kind and generous. House was perfect for the 10 of us. Plenty of room for us all to be together but also room for some alone time. Close to Gunstock where we went skiing and tubing. Loved the fireplace and all the firewood. The view out the windows was gorgeous. Would love to stay again.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
27 Jun 2013 20:32 GMT | Middle East
A suicide bombing has struck near the Maryameye Orthodox Church in the Old City of Damascus, killing at least four people, the pro-government Ikhbariya TV channel reported.
The state-run station said the attack occured in the central neighbourhood of Bab Touma, a famous Christian quarter of the capital on Thursday.
It also reported several injuries, but has given no indication of numbers at this time.
The Maryameye church is near the cobblestone Roman "Straight Street" that runs past many old buildings and a luxury restaurant once frequented by President Bashar al-Assad and his inner circle.
Syria's minorities, especially Assad's Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shia Islam, have generally stood behind the president during the conflict in which the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says more than 100,000 people have been killed.
Christians had tried to remain neutral, but increasingly their young men have been joining pro-Assad fighters.
The Old City is the historic heart of Damascus. Before the war, it drew crowds of tourists to its souks, monuments,religious sites, restaurants and craft shops.
It was the first major blast reported inside the walls of the Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage site that is one of the oldest cities in Middle East, dating back about 4,000 years.
News outlets close to rebels fighting to topple Assad said the explosion was caused by a mortar bomb.
The Syrian Observatory, a pro-opposition monitoring group, said two mortar rounds had hit Amin Street, home to Shia Muslim families who generally back Assad.

Several of them obtained ration cards and voter ID cards
247 Bangladeshi nationals are living in Bangalore
BANGALORE: Even as investigations are on to ascertain the Bangalore links of a Bangladeshi national suspected to be involved in the twin blasts in Hyderabad on August 24, it has come to light that 12 Bangladeshi students have gone missing from the city.
According to a report on foreign nationals living in Bangalore, prepared on June 30, 2007, 12 Bangladeshi students, including a woman, have gone missing from the city, highly-placed sources in the Bangalore police told The Hindu on Wednesday.
The police verified at the addresses furnished by these Bangladeshi nationals to the Foreigners' Registration Office (FRO) and found that they were not living there. Subsequently, the police have issued a lookout notice against the 12 students, the sources said.
The sources, however, said that some of these students could have returned to Bangladesh after completing their course.
But, the city police have not received any confirmation of their return from the agencies concerned. In all, 247 Bangladeshi nationals are living in Bangalore, the sources said.
The Bangalore angle to the Hyderabad blasts has assumed significance following suspicion that a Bangladeshi national living in Bangalore was involved in the blasts at Lumbini Park and Gokul Chat.
During investigations, the Hyderabad police seized a bus ticket from Bangladesh national Ridwan Gazi's rented room in Kishanbagah and the ticket had been booked in Bangalore.
It is suspected that another Bangladesh national living in Bangalore had travelled to Hyderabad from here and he had stayed in Gazi's room.
The police are on the lookout for Gazi and his Bangalore accomplice referred by code name "RR" — Rehmat or Rasheed.
Gazi's sister Rafsanjani, also a Bangladeshi student, arrested by the Hyderabad police on charges of overstaying, is said to have received a call from Bangalore on her mobile phone.
The sources said that a couple of years ago, the Bangalore police had found that hundreds of Bangladeshi immigrants had settled at slums on Millers' Tank Bund Road in High Grounds police station limits and Laggere in Rajagopalanagar police station limits.
The police enquiries had revealed that several of them had obtained ration cards and voter identity cards.

Bill O'Reilly's "Killing" series brings its most inherently commercial title — "Killing Jesus" — to National Geographic Channel, and at least with this topic, nobody needs to worry about O'Reilly claiming to have been there. Produced by Ridley Scott's company, an outfit that's no stranger to epics, the production lends a straightforward quality to the story, and takes its name seriously, squarely focusing on the circumstances and scheming that surround Christ's death. Along the way there are discreet miracles, but this represents a more historical approach to material that's currently arriving in abundance, a byproduct of History's success with "The Bible."
Compared with other recent depictions of Jesus, this one — directed by Christopher Menaul from an adaptation by Walon Green — is perhaps most notably characterized by restraint. So while covering a good deal of ground, the filmmakers don't linger over the ordeal of the Crucifixion in the way, »

Fifty Shades of Grey has claimed the Us box office for a second week after taking $23,246,000.
The erotic adaptation - starring Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey and Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele - became the highest-grossing Presidents' Day opener and second-highest February opening of all time after taking $81.6 million last week.
Upon its release, Fifty Shades ranked among the biggest R-rated movie debuts, with only The Matrix Reloaded, The Hangover Part II and The Passion of the Christ earning more.
Colin Firth's Kingsman: The Secret Service holds onto the second spot with $17.5 million while last week's number one The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water stays three with $15.5 million.
Kevin Costner's McFarland, USA is new at four with $11.3 million, just beating teen comedy The Duff which rounds out the top five.
American Sniper occupies the number six spot, as comedy sequel Hot Tub Time Machine 2 enters at seven with $5.8 million. »

Fifty Shades of Grey is rated R in the Us, meaning that those under the age of 17 must be accompanied by an adult.
A further group of teens objected to the movie theatre's decision by rushing the mall's food court. Nobody was injured and there was no damage reported by mall officials.

Director Sam Taylor-Johnson is reportedly walking away from Fifty Shades: Darker and Fifty Shades: Freed...
With a quarter of a billion dollars banked already, Fifty Shades Of Grey has proven to be - like it or lump it - a huge box office success. The film's sizeable opening is the biggest ever for a film directed by a woman, and in the Us, it's the second biggest February opening of all time, behind The Passion Of The Christ.
However, rumours of unrest behind the scenes have hardly been downplayed in recent weeks, with director Sam Taylor-Johnson and author E L James hardly sounding like they're best chums. So much so, in fact, that it's now being reported that Taylor-Johnson wants out of the two sequels, that Universal is understandably keen to press ahead with as soon as possible.
As part of the deal to bring the books to the screen, »

"Standing on the podium and hearing it for the first time, I guess it's like seeing your child for the first time," Oscar-nominated composer John Debney ("The Passion of the Christ") says in the trailer for "Score." Fittingly enough, the feature-length portrait of the power of film music, in the works from a Los Angeles-based team of journalists, producers, and photographers, is a passion project in itself. Director and executive producer Matt Schrader and executive producer Trevor Thompson have thus far used their personal savings to fund the movie, after first discussing working on a documentary together while classmates at the University of Southern California. "There's clearly a sacrifice there," says Schrader, who left a career in journalism in Sacramento to work on "Score." "Trevor and I have both had to do some freelance stuff here and there to keep the money flowing." (Full disclosure: I was acquainted with Schrader. »

"Fifty Shades of Grey" was already on track for a huge box office haul, but the S&M-tinged book adaptation exceeded prognosticators' wildest expectations, breaking several records along the way.
After the four-day holiday weekend, "Fifty Shades" is estimated to have pulled in $94.4 million domestically, a whopping total that far outpaces the previous four-day holiday weekend champ, "Valentine's Day," which nabbed $63.1 million back in 2010. And its $85 million three-day haul (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) beat out Mel Gibson's 2004 epic "The Passion of the Christ" ($83.3 million) as the biggest February opening ever.
Those receipts also gave "Fifty Shades" the third-highest-grossing opening weekend ever for an R-rated movie. And overseas, the numbers were equally impressive: The flick nabbed $158 million in 58 countries over Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, making it the highest R-rated debut ever in foreign markets. "Fifty Shades" also grossed an estimated $14 million overseas on Monday, bumping up its international total to $172 million. »

Matthew Vaughn's "Kingsman: The Secret Service" could not compete with "Fifty Shades of Grey" at the box office, but performed very well in second place, grossing $36 million domestically and another $44 million internationally for a worldwide debut of $80 million. The film cost $81 million to make and has a 71% fresh rating on RottenTomatoes. All eyes were on "Fifty Shades of Grey," which cost just $40 million to make and ended up with a whopping $240 million global debut ($82 million domestically). The film only has a 26% fresh rating, but shattered numerous records, including... * Biggest Presidents Day weekend debut (Previous record holder was "Valentine's Day" with $56.3 Million) * Biggest debut by a female director ("The Matrix Reloaded" had a bigger debut, but Lana Wachowski was still a man) * Highest number of theaters for an R-rated opening with 3,646 locations (Previous record holder was "The Hangover Part II" with 3,615) * Biggest single-day February gross with $36.7 million on Saturday (Previous »

President's Day isn't exactly the biggest holiday in the Us – mostly, it just signals a day off school, no mail and yet another excuse for stores to have sales. But between Valentine's Day and the holiday, Fifty Shades Of Grey took the top spot at the box office. Driven either by fans of the book, those wondering whether the film could bring the source material to the screen and those intrigued by all the fuss, the movie made more than $81.67 million across the three-day holiday ($94.4 million once the final Monday estimates are added), setting a new record for President's Day, becoming the second-biggest February debut (behind The Passion Of The Christ) and the fourth-biggest R-rated premiere.Around the world, the film has now made more than $239.6 million, and that sound you hear is the klaxon blaring for the sequels to trundle into development immediately.

Fans of the El James novel Fifty Shades of Grey withstood some brutal winter weather to help propel the Universal drama to a President's Day holiday weekend record. The critically slammed erotic drama was joined by a strong start for Fox's Kingsman: The Secret Service and excellent holds for Paramount's The SpongeBob Movie and Warner's American Sniper, the latter which crossed the $300 million mark on Sunday as it continued on its quest to become the number one film released in 2014.
It received a dismal 26% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an even more dire 3.9 rating from IMDb users. But all that negativity didn't stop Universal's $40 million adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey from stimulating moviegoers on 3,646 screens this weekend where it earned a big $81.7 million. Factor in President's Day on Monday and the studio is looking at an opening north of $90 million. Be »

The breathlessly anticipated Fifty Shades of Grey surpassed studio expectations for the best Presidents Day weekend ever, doing $81.7 million at the box office. The movie is projected to make $90.7 million through Sunday. It was also the second biggest February opening ever, just a hair under The Passion of the Christ's $83.9-million record set in 2004. "We're all popping champagne over here," Nick Carpou, Universal's president of domestic distribution said to the Los Angeles Times. The other new release, Colin Firth's action-comedy Kingsman: The Secret Service also performed well — just not nearly as well — with $35.6 million. Last weekend's box office champ, The Spongebob Movie: Sponge out of Water, dropped to third with a still-solid $30.5 million. American Sniper continues to stick around the top five with $16.4 million. Jupiter Ascending rounded out the top five with $9.4 million. The real lesson here is that sexy movies do »

American audiences sometimes aren't the most discerning when it comes to appreciating quality movie-making. The promise of titillating sex or mid-school grade fart jokes tends to go a lot farther than great acting and enjoyable plots. The two new movies this weekend served to solidify the point. As expected Fifty Shades of Grey was the top grosser this weekend, hauling in a hefty $81 million. In foreign markets the intrigue factor behind what turned out to be a painfully overhyped and underwhelming resulted in opening weekend records being broken in 11 countries and Universal pictures enjoying one of its largest world-wide openings ever. However, for the domestic market it was barely enough to make the fifth highest R-rated opening, just failing to outpace another movie made controversial in part for its use of whips, The Passion of the Christ. Meanwhile, the far superior in every way (or so says pretty much every »

"Fifty Shades of Grey" torched record books this weekend, debuting to a white hot $81.7 million domestically and $239.7 million globally.
By introducing moviegoers to little-explored sections of the Kama Sutra, Universal Pictures' erotic romance became the highest-grossing Presidents Day Weekend opener. It also established new benchmarks for R-rated fare.
Not shabby for a film that cost $40 million to produce before factoring in promotional and distribution costs. Sam Taylor-Johnson directed the film, with Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson in the lead roles. Sequels to the picture have yet to earn a greenlight, but given the results, that appears to be a formality.
Here's a look at some of the records that got incinerated thanks to Christian Grey's smoldering glare.

The studio executive that decided to release the big-screen adaptation of erotic best-seller Fifty Shades of Grey over the weekend of Valentine's Day should see a healthy raise this week, as the R-rated romantic drama saw many of the book's fans and curious moviegoers come out in droves. The film earned an estimated $81.7 million in its first three days, although close to half of that came from Valentine's Day sales alone. In North America, Fifty Shades of Grey stands as the second-biggest February opening of all time (after The Passion of the Christ's $83.8 million), although it sold fewer tickets than 2001's Hannibal when that thriller opened to $58 million 14 Februarys ago.
Domestically, the film now has the fifth-biggest opening for an R-rated film (after The Matrix Reloaded, American Sniper, The Hangover Part II and the aforementioned Passion). Another intriguing statistic: Fifty Shades had the largest opening for »

Fifty Shades of Grey has debuted at the top of the Us box office.
The erotic adaptation took $81,670,000 in its first weekend in theatres, which establishes it as the highest-grossing Presidents' Day opener and second-highest February opening of all time, behind the $83.9m taken by The Passion of the Christ.
It also ranks the film among the biggest R-rated movie debuts, with only The Matrix Reloaded, The Hangover Part II and the Mel Gibson biblical adaptation earning more.
Colin Firth's Kingsman: The Secret Service takes the second spot with initial takings of over $35 million, while last week's number one The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water falls to three with $30 million.
American Sniper is at four with just over $16 million, as Jupiter Ascending moves to five with $9 million.
Seventh Son is at six with takings of $4.1 million, while Paddington falls to seven.

"Fifty Shades of Grey" sizzled at the weekend box office, setting new records for the highest-grossing Presidents Day holiday opener of all time and ranking among the biggest R-rated debuts in history.
The erotic drama performed like a comicbook movie, albeit one with much naughtier costumes, picking up $81.7 million from 3,646 locations over the three-day period. That easily trumped the holiday's previous record-holder, the 2010 debut of the romantic comedy "Valentine's Day," which kicked off with $56.3 million.
"It had that whole sex thing going for it, it was edgy, and it started a conversation," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior box office analyst at Rentrak. "It went beyond being a girls' night out movie and became a date night movie."
"Fifty Shades of Grey" will do more than $90 million over the four-day holiday, in addition to triggering a massive increase in heart palpitations across the moviegoing public. Among the many high-water marks the saucy tale has hit, »

Yesterday wasn't a holiday - Valentine's Day today and Presidents Day on Monday fit that bill - but the celebrations started early at theaters with two new films both opening to great numbers. "Fifty Shades of Grey" (Universal) as expected posted a huge number ($30.2 million, including $8.6 Thursday night), but "Kingsman: The Secret Service" (20th Century Fox) was hardly beaten down, coming in a strong second with $10.5 million (mostly yesterday). Together, the Top Ten totaled around $60 million, way up from $26 million last year, when Valentine's Day fell on Friday. The "Shades" number stands as a record for a February opening day record, beating "The Passion of the Christ" ($26.6 million), but with huge caveats - the latter opened on a Wednesday in 2004, ticket prices lower and had no previous night "previews" included in its figure.

"American Sniper" has "Mockingjay" in its sights.
The war drama is poised to surpass the most recent edition of "The Hunger Games" as 2014's top-grossing release, analysts say. The Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow pic has made $282.4 million thus far, putting it in third place on the charts, behind "Mockingjay — Part 1," which has earned $335.7 million, and "Guardians of the Galaxy," which has grossed $333.2 million.
BoxOffice.com is now predicting that the film will generate $360 million-$365 million during its domestic run.
"It has a really good chance to hit that number," said Jeff Bock, a box office analyst with Exhibitor Relations. "It's one of those things that's in the zeitgeist, and people want to see it. Everybody's talking about the the film, and people want to be part of the conversation."

Help my betta!
So I have had Bubbles for about 6 months now and have never had a problem with him other than hes an extremely picky eater (only eats bloodworms). Hes in about a 2 gallon bowl with a plant and has never had a heater. Hes always acted very happy and swims around a lot and likes to watch us while we are cooking and eating. He seems to like to be at the top of the bowl and hes always blowing bubbles (hence his name!)
Well I went out of town for about 4 days and got these things that the guy from the pet store reccomended. You just put a tablet in the bowl and it feeds your fish while your gone. Well when I got home he was still alive but the water was really slimey looking at the top and stunk REALLY bad! He was also very lethargic looking, just sitting in one place and not moving a lot which is very unlike him. I immiediately changed the water and seemed a little better but I havent been able to get him to eat. About a week has gone by now and hes still not eating and is just laying at the bottome- somtimes on his side. Occasionally he will come to the top but he seems to twitch a lot and then he will go back down to the bottom.
Does anyone have any suggestions on things I can try? Ive tried feeding him pellets again but he wont even come to the top when I put the food.
Please help! The sooner the better!

Published in Macalester Today
Whether the syllabus included studying fossils or ancient monuments, students enrolled in Macalester's January classes got to experience course material in depth and up close. And those classes weren't held in Old Main or Olin-Rice either. Instead, the students went right to the source, to ancient Roman cities and Caribbean reefs.
This was the Classics Department's sixth trip to Rome, which has students exploring Roman architecture, artifacts, and monuments from 1000 BCE through the fourth century. "There's nothing like standing on the actual ground where these events in Roman history took place," says classics professor Nanette Goldman, one of the trip's leaders. "The spatial organization of the city, the atmospheric and geographic features of this part of Italy, the textures, sounds, smells, are all critical to understanding the phenomenon of Rome, past and present. You can't get that on YouTube or in books."
Twenty other students studied a Bahamanian island's ecology and geology through its beaches and reefs on a geology department field trip—the department's fourth visit to the island research center. The trip, led by professors Ray Rogers and Kristi Curry Rogers, included collaborative research along with opportunities for field, lab, and museum study.
Unlike the Rome trip—which drew classics majors and non-majors alike—the Bahamas trip was limited to geology majors and minors. For some it was a first chance to do fieldwork. "Experiences like this are essential to a high-quality geology education," Ray Rogers says. "Making the connection to rocks and fossils in the field really brings it home for students."

New-look Mondeo completes comprehensive update of Ford's flagship large car family. With emphasis on new technology and enhanced quality it looks smarter from both inside and out. Ford says 1,350 parts have changed, including a new bonnet, front end and rear tailgate. The overall effect is subtle to put it mildly, but if you look at the old car and the new car together, the new one definitely looks a bit classier and more sophisticated 鈥?especially at the front. The new Mondeo is set to build on the model's established reputation as a stylish, versatile and great-to-drive vehicle, and for offering high levels of driving enjoyment and comfort to its occupants. Central to this is the application of a fresh look for both body styles available in the UK 鈥?five door and wagon 鈥?to distinguish the new model. Ford's design team set out to emphasise further the kinetic design signatures in each body style while incorporating new technologies such as LED lighting. New Mondeo's sleek lines are emphasised in the side profile by a new, full chrome window surround for the higher series models, while larger, re-designed, LED tail lamps give additional kinetic movement to the rear. The interior of the new Mondeo has also been comprehensively reworked to give it a higher level of quality and sophistication through meticulous attention to detail, and by employing new, higher quality trim materials. The re-designed centre console flows more elegantly, while the door panels feature a new 'toproll' and flush, integrated, door release mechanisms. Further enhancements include a new central overhead console featuring LED ambient lighting, and a woven headliner. The use of new high quality interior trim materials in new Mondeo boost the overall feeling of craftsmanship and are complemented by high-class inlay foils and new 'jewel' detailing on switches and vents in satin chrome. New interior colour schemes also offer two new lighter interior executions for a rich, premium, appeal. Mondeo's wide range of the latest driver assistance technologies includes Lane Departure Warning, Driver Alert and Auto High Beam 鈥?all utilising a new high sensitivity camera unit located at the top of the windscreen in front of the rear view mirror. Also extending to Mondeo are many features already introduced on the latest S-MAX and Galaxy models, including Ford's Blind Spot Information System, Speed Limiter, Rear Door Power Child Locks and Rear View Camera. LED lighting technology is used for the daytime running lights and rear tail and brake lamps as well as inside the car. But apart from all these, the most important changes is in the engine compartment, where the Mondeo got the new 2.0-liter Ecoboost inline-four and the Powershift dual-clutch transmission On the other hand, this is probably just as well given the prices 鈥?Ford is yet to confirm figures before it goes on sale in November, but it is expected to be in the region of 拢 26,000. That sounds an amazing amount of money until you remember that the Vauxhall Insignia 2.0 Turbo is 拢 25K 鈥?and it has 20bhp less and CO2 emissions 25 percent higher than the Mondeo. The author writes for jenningsforddirect.co.uk which specializes in Ford Mondeo. For more information on Ford Mondeo contact Redge.
