Charles Walter Stansby Williams (20 September 1886 – 15 May 1945) was a British poet, novelist, playwright, theologian, literary critic, and member of the Inklings.
Williams was born in London in 1886, the only son of Richard and Mary Williams of Islington. He had one sister, Edith, born in 1889. Educated at St Albans School, Hertfordshire, Williams was awarded a scholarship to University College London, but was forced to leave in 1904 without taking a degree because his family lacked the financial resources to support him. In the same year he began work in a Methodist bookroom. Williams was hired by the Oxford University Press (OUP) as a proofreading assistant in 1908 and quickly climbed to the position of editor. He continued to work at the OUP in various positions of increasing responsibility until his death in 1945. One of his greatest editorial achievements was the publication of the first major English-language edition of the works of Søren Kierkegaard.[1]
Although chiefly remembered as a novelist, Williams also published poetry, works of literary criticism, theology, drama, history, biography, and a voluminous number of book reviews. Some of his best known novels are War in Heaven (1930), Descent into Hell (1937), and All Hallows' Eve (1945). [2] T. S. Eliot, who wrote an introduction for the last of these, described Williams's novels as "supernatural thrillers" because they explore the sacramental intersection of the physical with the spiritual while also examining the ways in which power, even spiritual power, can corrupt as well as sanctify. All of Williams's fantasies, unlike those of J. R. R. Tolkien and most of those of C. S. Lewis, are set in the contemporary world. Williams has been described by Colin Manlove as one of the three main writers of "Christian fantasy" in the twentieth century (the other two being C. S. Lewis and T. F. Powys).[3] More recent writers of fantasy novels with contemporary settings, notably Tim Powers, cite Williams as a model and inspiration. W. H. Auden, one of Williams's greatest admirers, reportedly re-read Williams's extraordinary and highly unconventional history of the church, The Descent of the Dove (1939), every year. Williams's study of Dante entitled The Figure of Beatrice (1944) was very highly regarded at its time of publication and continues to be consulted by Dante scholars today. His work inspired Dorothy L. Sayers to undertake her translation of The Divine Comedy. Williams, however, regarded his most important work to be his extremely dense and complex Arthurian poetry, of which two books were published, Taliessin through Logres (1938) and The Region of the Summer Stars (1944), and more remained unfinished at his death. Some of Williams' best essays were collected and published in Anne Ridler's Image of the City and Other Essays (1958)[citation needed].
Williams gathered many followers and disciples during his lifetime. He was, for a period, a member of the Salvator Mundi Temple of the Fellowship of the Rosy Cross. He met fellow Anglican Evelyn Underhill (who was affiliated with a similar group, the Order of the Golden Dawn) in 1937 and was later to write the introduction to her published Letters in 1943.[4] In 1917 Williams married his first sweetheart, Florence Conway, following a long courtship during which he presented her with a sonnet sequence that would later become his first published book of poetry.[5] Their son Michael was born in 1924. Later, he would struggle to reconcile a long-lasting (but probably unconsummated: indeed only vaguely, at most, reciprocated) love affair with Phyllis Jones (who joined the Oxford University Press in 1924 as librarian) with his Christian faith (he was an unswerving and devoted member of the Church of England, reputedly with a tolerance of the scepticism of others and a firm belief in the necessity of a "doubting Thomas" in any apostolic body).[6] Williams also formed master-disciple relationships with young woman admirers. The best known (though probably not the most significant) of these occurred in the early 1940s with Lois Lang-Sims. Lang-Sims, whom Williams referred to as Lalage, published a series of letters that Williams wrote to her during this period in a volume entitled Letters to Lalage (1989).
Although Williams attracted the attention and admiration of some of the most notable writers of his day, including T. S. Eliot and W. H. Auden, his greatest admirer was probably C. S. Lewis, whose novel That Hideous Strength (1945) has been regarded as partially inspired by his acquaintance with both the man and his novels and poems. Williams came to know Lewis after reading Lewis's then-recently published study The Allegory of Love; he was so impressed he jotted down a letter of congratulation and dropped it in the mail. Coincidentally, Lewis had just finished reading Williams's novel The Place of the Lion and had written a similar note of congratulation. The letters crossed in the mail and led to an enduring and fruitful friendship. When World War II broke out in 1939, Oxford University Press moved its offices from London to Oxford. Williams was reluctant to leave his beloved city, and Florence refused to go. From the nearly 700 letters he wrote his wife during the war years a generous selection has been published; "primarily . . . love letters," the editor calls them.[7] But the move to Oxford did allow him to participate regularly in Lewis's literary society known as the Inklings. In this setting Williams was able to read (and improve) his final published novel, All Hallows' Eve, as well as to hear J. R. R. Tolkien read aloud to the group some of his early drafts of The Lord of the Rings. In addition to meeting in Lewis's rooms at Oxford, they also regularly met at The Eagle and Child pub in Oxford (better known by its nickname "The Bird and Baby"). During this time Williams also gave lectures at Oxford on John Milton, William Wordsworth, and other authors, and received an honorary M.A. degree. Williams is buried in St Cross Churchyard Oxford: his headstone bears the word "poet", followed by the words "Under the Mercy", a blessing often used by Williams himself[citation needed].
Williams's theology[edit]
Williams developed the concept of Co-inherence, described as a theology of romantic love. Co-inherence was a term used in Patristic theology to describe the relationship between the human and divine natures of Jesus Christ, and the relationship between the persons of the blessed Trinity. Williams extended the term to include the ideal relationship between the individual parts of God's creation, including human beings. It is our mutual indwelling: Christ in us and we in Christ, interdependent. It is also the web of interrelationships, social and economic and ecological, by which the social fabric and the natural world function. But especially for Williams, Co-inherence is a way of talking about the Body of Christ and the Communion of saints. For Williams, salvation was not a solitary affair. "The thread of the love of God was strong enough to save you and all the others, but not strong enough to save you alone." He proposed an order, Companions of the Co-inherence, who would practice substitution and exchange, living in love-in-God, truly bearing one another's burdens, being willing to sacrifice and to forgive, living from and for one another in Christ.
Williams's fiction[edit]
He is writing that sort of book in which we begin by saying, let us suppose that this everyday world were at some one point invaded by the marvelous.
— C. S. Lewis on Charles Williams' novels[8]
- Shadows of Ecstasy. 1933. – A humanistic adept has discovered that by focusing his energies inward he can extend his life almost indefinitely. He undertakes an experiment using African lore to die and resurrect his own body thereby assuring his immortality. His followers begin a revolutionary movement to supplant European civilisation.
- War in Heaven. 1930. – The Holy Grail surfaces in an obscure country parish and becomes variously a sacramental object to protect or a vessel of power to exploit.
- Many Dimensions. 1931. – An evil antiquarian illegally purchases the fabled Stone of Suleiman (Williams uses this Muslim form rather than the more familiar King Solomon) from its Islamic guardian in Baghdad and returns to England to discover not only that the Stone can multiply itself infinitely without diminishing the original, but that it also allows its possessor to transcend the barriers of space and time.
- "Et in Sempiternum Pereant," 1931? (first published in 1986) – Lord Arglay (protagonist in Many Dimensions) risks his life in a vain effort to rescue a ghost on the path to damnation.[9]
- The Place of the Lion. 1931. – Platonic archetypes begin to appear around an English country town, wreaking havoc and drawing to the surface the spiritual strengths and flaws of individual characters.
- The Greater Trumps. 1932. – The original Tarot deck is used to unlock enormous metaphysical powers by allowing the possessors to see across space and time, create matter, and raise powerful natural storms.
- Descent into Hell. 1937. – Generally thought to be Williams's best novel, Descent deals with various forms of selfishness, and how the cycle of sin brings about the necessity for redemptive acts. In it, an academic becomes so far removed from the world that he fetishises a woman to the extent that his perversion takes the form of a succubus. Other characters include a doppelgänger, the ghost of a suicidal Victorian labourer, and a playwright modelled in some ways on the author. It is illustrative of Williams's belief in the replacement of sin and substitutional love.
- All Hallows' Eve. 1945. – Opens with a discussion between the ghosts of two dead women wandering about London. Ultimately explores the meaning of human suffering and empathy by dissolving the barrier between the living and the dead through both black magic and divine love.

Terminator 3: The Rise of the Machines | ||
Directed by Jonathan Mostow | ||
Written by John Brancato, Michael Ferris, and Tedi Sarafian | ||
David Newbert
James Cameron once half-jokingly called his Terminator 2: Judgement Day the most violent film ever made about world peace. If you
consider the deeply felt bonds between Sarah Connor, her son John and the T-101, you could also call T2 one of the most "family-oriented"
of action movies. Terminator 3: The Rise of the Machines doesn't have the same sense of humanity, but it sure pours on the action,
and it even has undercurrents of melancholy that might put you in mind of the first Terminator.
The story is a retread of T2, except this time Arnold's T-101 has been sent back in time to protect the adult John Connor and
Kate Brewster (a young woman who will be important to the future resistance) from the T-X, an "anti-Terminator Terminator." The T-X is
a sort of combination of previous designs: it has the ability to morph its outward appearance, while underneath it keeps a wide
variety of changeable mechanical implements -- mostly deadly weapons. This film sets the stakes early and then just goes to it,
smashing things and blowing them up with the joy of a bad seed. To the problem of how to construct a sequel that, according to the
previous film's logic, just shouldn't be (if you'll remember, Sarah Connor and the last T-101 already destroyed the means the
machines had for taking over), Jonathan Mostow (U-571) applies some wand-waving exposition about inescapable fate and how
some things were just meant to happen. As the action set pieces fly by -- and they are amazing sequences, especially a fight inside
of a restroom and a chase with a giant crane -- T3 embodies the Lacanian theory of film, par excellence: the images pass with such
compelling power that you never notice the occasional gaps in logic that might threaten their plausibility.
But this movie's saving grace is its surprising, and welcome, sense of humor. It's been a long time since Schwarzenegger laughed at himself
as he does here. Some moments are almost too ironically self-referential for their own good -- such as Arnold staggering along while
shouting, "I am a machine!" -- but there's a snarky clowning in many of the visual quotes. For instance, Schwarzenegger's naked entrance
is based on the biker bar fight from T2, but this time it's a low-brow strip club on Ladies' Night, and Arnold is the focus of appreciative
attention. The entrance of the T-X, featuring former model Kristanna Loken walking unclothed down a street in Beverly Hills, is a sly counterpart.
Mostow has borrowed several ideas from the previous movies, but does it in a respectful way that makes you think he actually relished
the idea of getting this assignment. There's another hidden cache of military-grade hardware, but in a place that I won't reveal for
fear of spoiling it. And a certain minor character reappears. And so on. T3 has the enthusiasm of fan fiction, but actually film-making
skill, and it doesn't worry about being original. And neither should you. Really, how much mileage can you expect to get out of the
idea of our heroes being chased by Terminator after Terminator? This movie is very stylish. The design of the T-X is for a sleek,
sexy, sporty model, meant to draw appreciative stares and radiate a sinister cool. Loken pours all her concentration into the role,
but she doesn't generate the kind of menace Robert Patrick had as the T-1000. Nonetheless, she's one of the best non-CGI special
effects in the whole show. For a quick laugh, look for the moment in one fight scene where she checks herself out in a passing mirror
while on her way to stomp her opponent some more.
The cinematography is remarkably bright and heavy with color, which is a different palette from Cameron's striking variations on steel
grey and matte black. Even those scenes shot in complete darkness have vibrant colors. The T-101 at one point calls itself an outdated
model, and when compared to the red-leather terminatrix, desert yellows and fire-orange expositions, it certainly seems to be coming from another movie.
The SFX are convincing and superior. They were handled by the same team that did the previous movies, Stan Winston and ILM, with
some help from smaller effects companies such as Giant Killer Robots, which worked on The Matrix Reloaded. They can't be faulted for
such faux pas as the oddly selective magnetic field (you'll know when it happens). They didn't write this thing. But they make it come alive.
As a matter of fact, the script is paced remarkably well. The set pieces are involving, not exhausting, and show real wit. Exposition is
handled by having Arnold speak most of it, since he's playing a robot anyway.
It isn't as poignant as T2 or even T1, but with recognizable human characters
amidst the robotic mayhem, T3 ultimately achieves the same
dolorous tone. Suffice to say the ending shuts the door on almost everything that came before, while showing the way to a new series
of sequels, which will undoubtedly be produced post-haste. Rise of the machines, indeed.

Notes That Produce Positivity
One of the most important factors in feeling serene 24/7 (not only when you're on a yoga mat) is to quit complaining, take things in stride and look on the bright side. Sniffing perfumes that have fresh, familiar scents—powdery notes à la baby, or springtime florals such as hyacinth, jasmine and lily of the valley—could have you thinking the glass is half full. Or seek out amber or vanilla (and its twin, tonka bean), which go hand in hand with happy occasions at which you devoured cupcakes and ice cream sundaes. Perfumes with frankincense, the festive scent that is prominent during the all-is-right-with-the-world holiday season, could get you to ditch the Grinch attitude year-round. It contains a compound that causes a cozy sensation, so "you're more likely to have a positive outlook," says Lynn Anderson, Ph.D., a naturopathic doctor and aromatherapist in Los Angeles.

Sandra Bullock stars in "28 Days," an engrossing drama of a young woman's struggle with alcohol addiction, airing as the "ABC Monday Movie of the Week," JULY 18 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network (rebroadcast. OAD: 6/19/03). The feature, which also stars Steve Buscemi, Azura Skye, Viggo Mortensen and Elizabeth Perkins, will be presented in HDTV format with 5.1-channel surround sound and video description.
In "28 Days," newspaper columnist Gwen Cummings (Bullock, "Miss Congeniality" films, "Two Weeks Notice") is living the high life - in fact, she and her boyfriend are high most of the time on alcohol and drugs. During her latest binge, she arrives late to her sister's wedding, destroys the cake and then steals a limo that she crashes into a house in a quiet suburb. A judge gives her a choice of 28 days in jail or 28 days in rehab.
Gwen is in complete denial as she enters the rehab facility and she immediately sets out to beat the system. Elizabeth Perkins ("Must Love Dogs," "Cats & Dogs") portrays her sister, Steve Buscemi ("Big Fish," "Spy Kids 2 & 3") is her counselor, Viggo Mortensen ("Lord of the Rings" series) portrays a drug-abusing major league pitcher, Dominic West ("The Forgotten," "Chicago") is the boyfriend and Azura Skye ("Red Dragon," "Bandits") plays Gwen's 17-year-old, drug-addicted roommate.
"28 Days" stars Sandra Bullock as Gwen Cummings, Viggo Mortensen as Eddie Boone, Dominic West as Jasper, Elizabeth Perkins as Lily Cummings, Azura Skye as Andrea, Steve Buscemi as Cornell Shaw, Alan Tudyk as Gerhardt, Mike O'Malley as Oliver, Marianne Jean-Baptiste as Roshanda, Reni Santoni as Daniel, Diane Ladd as Bobbie Jean, Margo Martindale as Betty, Susan Krebs as Evelyn, Loudon Wainwright III as guitar guy, Katie Scharf as young Gwen, Meredith Deane as young Lily and Elizabeth Ruscio as Mrs. Cummings.

ANAHEIM – Teemu Selanne will not retire.
Instead, the greatest Duck ever will come back to play for the team during the 2012-13 season.
That's my gut feeling after spending 20 minutes with Selanne following practice Saturday.
Yeah, it was only 20 minutes of a career that would be entering its 20th NHL season. And, sure, it's not my gut that will decide Selanne's fate beyond the next seven games.
But, before our conversation, I was certain — fairly certain — this would be his final season. Put it this way: I would have been willing to bet your paycheck on it.
Though he committed to nothing Saturday, in doing so — or not doing so, technically — he convinced me he will return.
"There's more inside me that wants to play than retire," Selanne admitted. "But it's got to be 100 percent when I make the decision."
He won't be deciding anytime soon. Like in recent years, Selanne again will take five or six weeks off after the season. In mid-June, he and his family will return to Finland for 10 weeks.
Soon after arriving there, Selanne will consider beginning workouts aimed for the start of Ducks training camp.
"I want to feel like I have to start working again, start getting ready," he explained. "That's the feeling I want to have again. That's a good feeling. That's when I'll know if I still want to do it."
He plans to inform the Ducks of his intentions by a personal deadline of July 1. Just like in recent years.
It's that simple, folks. Well, without considering the World Championships and what could happen if Selanne plays and, God forbid, gets hurt. And then there's the prospect of the 2012-13 NHL season not even starting on time or at all because of labor unrest.
OK, this is Teemu Selanne, who has taken the Ducks and the rest of us down this crooked, maddening path plenty of times before. Nothing's simple.
"It would be a really big hole, but, you know, I don't even want to think about it," Coach Bruce Boudreau said. "Whatever happens will happen. ... We're trying to surmise things that might not be there. ... I'm sure the organization will deal with the facts when they occur."
Here, though, is a fact to deal with right now: Selanne, at age 41, has been the most productive player on this team all season. He leads the Ducks with 62 points and is averaging 18 minutes of ice time a game. He began Saturday tied for seventh in the NHL in power-play goals with 11.

The Whanganui River Journey
Book and pay before 31 July 2014 for last summers prices!!
A Canoe Trip through the spectacular Whanganui National is a great way to unwind away from the pressures of everyday life. Just imagine a holiday away from it all, no cell phones, no television, no shops, no traffic. Just you and your partner, an open Canadian canoe, a few books maybe, and some friends to share in this unique experience. The most popular journey is the five day Whanganui experience. A vast portion of the stretch we cover is almost inaccessible from land. This is the type of adventure that all New Zealanders and visitors alike should experience at least once in their life. Words alone cannot describe its special magic.
"Hi Simon, we just wanted to thank-you very, very much for helping us with our Whanganui River journey. We all had an amazing time out there, and it is so great to finally experience a piece of New Zealand, which is so close to home, yet still so far enough away that you really feel in touch with the land. We heard many great things, from the Guides of other companies, about your organisation throughout the 3-days we were on the river, and it is nice to know that you provide a product/service that is held in such high regard by your competitors. Well done!!! "
Sara, Iain, Lachlan and Estelle, Russell and Tiffany
Whanganui River Journey River Trips
5 Day Guided Canoe Safari

In 1917 one of the most remote valleys of the upper Whanganui River was hastily opened up by the government for Settlement by Discharged Servicemen from the 1914–18 World War. However, this last great rural pioneering scheme in New Zealand proved a complete and utter failure.
read more ...2 Day Upper Whanganui
(37.5km or 57km) – Ideal if you have just a weekend to spare, or if you want to "test the water" before deciding on a longer trip. This trip takes in the upper section of the river down to Whakahoro and includes many of the historic sites and rapids. Two options depending on the river levels and group fitness.

Ideal for a 2 day weekend.

Bedřich Smetana: Polkas from the 1st and 2nd String Quartets
Franz Schubert: Quintet in C Major for Two
Violoncellos, D956
The Bennewitz Quartet
Jiři Němeček -
tĕpán Ježek - Violin
Jiři Pinkas -
tĕpán Doležal - Violoncello
Soon after its establishment at
the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague
in 1998, the Bennewitz Quartet found its way among prominent Czech chamber
ensembles. It was named after the famous Czech violinist and teacher Antonín Bennewitz (1833-1926).
Two renowned personalities played a crucial role in the Quartet's
artistic development: Professor Rainer Schmidt (Hagen Quartet) whose classes
the Bennewitz Quartet attended at the Escuela
Superior de Música Reina Sofía
in Madrid (2002–2004); and Professor Walter Levin (LaSalle Quartet) who worked
with them at the Basel Musikakademie between 2004 and
2006. At this time, the Bennewitz Quartet was also engaged as the Musikakademie's residential ensemble, conducting, apart
from their own study projects, classes of chamber music for young quartet
Besides various minor awards (for instance, Bohuslav
Martinu Foundation Prize, 2001; Laureate Prize of the
Czech Chamber Music Society, 2004; National Presentation Concerts Award,
Amsterdam, 2004; FNAPEC Scholarship, Paris, 2006), the Bennewitz Quartet received, in 2004, two special prizes (Theodor Rogler Foundation Prize and Bärenreiter
Urtext Prize) at the ARD Competition in Munich,
Germany; in 2005, the Gold Medal at the International Chamber Music Competition
in Osaka, Japan; and in June 2008, the first prize in the Premio
Paolo Borciani string quartet contest in Reggio Emilia, Italy.
A prize winner tour of 50 concerts will take the four young Czechs to
important concert series throughout Europe, the USA and Japan during the season
2008-2009, including concerts in Tokyo,
New York, Los Angeles, Hamburg, Bremen, Stuttgart, Brussels, Basel, Rome and
The Bennewitz
Quartet already participated in various international music festivals (Rheingau Festival and Heidelberger Frühling
– Germany; Lucerne Festival – Switzerland; Orlando
Festival – Netherlands; Prague Spring Festival – Czech Republic), and performed
in prominent European concert halls (Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Auditorio Nacional de Madrid, Herkulessaal Munich, or Rudolfinum
Besides a number of CDs, the Bennewitz Quartet made several recordings
for the Czech Radio and Czech Television, as well as for a number of radio and
television companies abroad (SWR, BR and NWR – Germany, Radio 4 – Netherlands,
Austria, Rádio Clásica
– Spain, STV Radio, Yomiuri TV – Japan). In Spring
2008 their latest CD with both string quartets of Janaček and
Bartoks 4th String Quartet has been released

Yeah, it's not the first book. OK, it's got some progressive thinking.
Just get over it and enjoy the ride. Great new writer that makes you think along with some edgy mystery/thriller prose, what's not to like? If you're stuck in the Fox, tiny brain, loop, read something else and leave the rest of us to have a good time.

Any sports fan will tell you that the experience of watching the game is better when fellow enthusiasts are on hand. Unfortunately, it isn't always easy or possible to gather everyone around the same TV. Fortunately, SportsYapper for iPhone and iPad (free, universal) provides real-time, Twitter-like conversation just for sports fans. You can follow a team, a fan base, live games and more. Here's my look at SportsYapper.
I spoke with CEO and co-founder Eric Goldstein about the beginning of SportsYapper. He and his buddy Dave Grossman were lamenting that there wasn't a Twitter-like solution just for sports fans. A place where they could cheer and bemoan the highlights and lowlights of a given game in real time with like-minded fans. "Eventually we said, 'Why don't we just build it?'" That's exactly what they've done.
Now, I know what you're thinking. "Why not just use Twitter? Or even Facebook or text?" Those are good questions and the answer, in fact, helped inspire SportsYapper. "Managing text conversations with several people during a game can be a hassle," Eric told me. "On other social media sites, you might craft a certain persona. A professional one, for example. You might not want to introduce your passionate sports tweets/updates to that service."
I'll add that some of my Twitter followers who dislike sports become annoyed with my torrent of Red Sox tweets. That's understandable, especially if I'm watching a close/important game and getting a little carried away.
SportsYapper is a welcome alternative. When you launch the app, you're prompted to log into Facebook (Eric assures me that an alternate Twitter login is coming). Fear not: you can opt to prevent the app from blasting your wall with updates. From there, you'll see four buttons across the bottom of the main screen:
- All Yapps
- Teams
- Game On!
- Alerts
- Friends
A "Yapp" is like a Tweet. Unlike Twitter, SportsYapper gives you 300 characters per update. "We didn't want fans to feel inhibited," Eric told me. "In the heat of reacting to a close call or huge score, you don't want to stop and compose a limited message." You can browse yapps from all users or just those you've designated as friends.
The Teams feature is nice. Add your favorite(s) and filter yapps accordingly. Again, you can further sort those results into friends vs. all.
Game On! is the marquee feature. To use it, tell the app which game you're watching. As you do, your friends will be alerted (Dave is watching the Red Sox vs. Yankees) and prompted to join in (this notification can be turned off). From there, enjoy the live ribbing, cheering and gnashing of virtual teeth.
The Alerts section informs you of pending friend requests (both issued and filled), while Friends lets you browse users in that category.
I watched a few games this week with fellow members of The Nation and it was a lot of fun. That sense of camaraderie was in place and I didn't feel guilty about posting a flood of updates. It's a lot of fun to know that all of the users are just as excited about the game as you are.
SportsYapper is available now from the App Store. Those who like to watch the game with far-flung friends really ought to check it out.

Smith, Karen E. (2005) Beyond the civilian power debate. Politique Europeénne, 1 (17). pp. 63-82. ISSN 1623-6297
Download (316Kb) | Preview |
This article argues that the European Union is no longer a civilian power; instead it finds itself, like almost every other international actor on the planet, somewhere along a spectrum between two ideal-types of civilian and military power. But instead of debating what the European Union is (civilian power or not), we should move beyond this to analyse and debate what the EU does in international relations. The article suggests a few lines of enquiry to open that debate.

Reader poll
With this year's Class AA boys basketball playoff results, has the Suburban Council become the new Section II power?
- Yes
- No
- Wait and see
9 total votes.
Entering this year's Section II Class AA boys basketball playoffs, the Big 10 had high hopes to get a team to the finals. After all, the league has won every Class AA championship since the classification was added a decade ago, and it won the Class A title every time since the turn of the millenium (the 1998-99 Colonie Garnet Raiders were the last Suburban Council squad to win it).
A funny thing happened, though. Big 10 champion Catholic Central was upset by Niskayuna in the opening round. The Crusaders were not alone in that regard, either, as Schenectady, LaSalle and Albany also bowed out in that round.
Christian Brothers Academy was the last Big 10 team left in the Class AA field. The Brothers have been one of the most successful teams since the start of the 2000's, as they strung together 10 Sectional final appearances in a row before losing in the 2012-13 semifinals to Green Tech. And with senior center Greig Stire leading the way, the Brothers had the capability to get back to the Times Union Center this season.
Guilderland had other ideas, though. The Dutchmen made four three-pointers in the second half as they pulled away to a 54-43 win over CBA in last Saturday's quarterfinal round -- eliminating the Big 10 from the Class AA playoffs before the semifinal round for the first time.
Guilderland's win also placed three Suburban Council teams in the Class AA Sectional semifinals for the first time, as Columbia and Shenendehowa also won their quarterfinal contests against Niskayuna and Saratoga, respectively. Unfortunately, there will be no all-Suburban final as Green Tech eliminated Shen in Wednesday's semifinal, but Guilderland will be there by virtue of its 102-100 five overtime victory over Columbia.
With all of that said, we want to know if you believe the Suburban Council has overtaken the Big 10 as the Section II Class AA power. Vote in the box to the left side of the screen. Votes will be counted through 11:59 p.m. Sunday.

from Wired: Google has bought digital mapmaker Keyhole, extending the search engine leader's bid to fend off rivals with a toolbox that can catalog almost anything in the world.
Keyhole uses 3-D technology to provide faraway or close-up views of a region, neighborhood or specific address. The images, which will be available through Google (GOOG), rely on shots taken from satellites and airplanes and can be tilted into different positions.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Although the company isn't well-known, Keyhole's technology received widespread attention during the early days of the Iraq war when CNN used the 3-D maps to zero in on battlefronts.

Nice guy looking for a match
Ideally, I would love to find someone to date. I am a masculine, confident, genuine, multilingual, and a well-rounded person. I am a very social person but, at times, enjoy solitude. I am an avid reader and, usually, that is how I keep myself up-to-date. I like to read up on various and diverse subjects and topics, although my favorite subjects include, science, religion, business, philosophy, autobiographies, cultures, languages and current events. I also enjoy good fiction once in a while. I am an advocate of a healthy lifestyle. A health-conscious diet is an integral part of me.The fact that I grew up in different places, my education, and my background has shaped my personality and has given me a very unique, objective and cosmopolitan perspective on life.I would prefer to find someone with similar stats or taller than me, who is masculine, laid back, easy going, mature, and well rounded with a global perspective. I am very drawn to individuals that value family, ingenuity, sincerity, and loyalty. My preference would be for someone close to my age, but then again, that's not written in stone. I really like people who are comfortable with themselves, are simple and value understatement. I am not looking for perfection because I,ceraintly, won't be able to reciprocate that. I am very attracted to guys with light features; blonds and redheads, but that is not a requirement. I am an ENTP.

According to the Associated Press, UCF guard Marcus Jordan was arrested in the early hours of Sunday following a disturbance outside of an Omaha, Nebraska hotel.
Jordan, who averaged 13.7 points and 2.7 rebounds per game for the Knights last season, was released on Sunday night after being booked on charges of resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and obstructing.
Apparently Jordan was arguing with two women in the driveway of an Embassy Suites hotel, and according to the police report he was "very animated, intoxicated and uncooperative."
Of course the first thing that many will mention is the fact that his father is none other than Michael Jordan.
But the bigger question at this point, one that's been around for a few weeks now, is whether or not Jordan will return to UCF for his senior campaign.
While UCF has a relatively strong lineup of returning players and a chance to compete for a Conference USA title, Jordan has lost two close friends on the team. Jordan's older brother, Jeff Jordan, and best friend, A.J. Rompza, are no longer with the basketball program and are pursuing their own post-college opportunities. It appeared Rompza would be staying in Orlando and providing moral support for Marcus Jordan, but he is now training elsewhere and could potentially play professionally overseas.
That report is from June 12, and there hasn't been much made of the situation since. Whether or not Jordan returns the Knights have some talented pieces, led by Keith Clanton and Tristan Spurlock.
Transfers C.J. Reed (Bethune-Cookman) and Calvin Newell (Oklahoma; eligible in December) should help Donnie Jones' team on the perimeter.
Unfortunately for Marcus, he'll have to deal with this legal issue while also deciding whether or not to play his senior season.

And here I thought he would only gamble and whore like his dad. Guess I'm so naive.Apple falling from tree hits son, he sues NCAA for post -concussion stress. Memo to Marcus, if you want 2 chicks , you gotta pay 2 chicks to play. You're not Dad, not even close.Chumpass.
- florida727 - Jul 2, 2012 at 7:55 AM
AJ Rompza's chances of playing overseas are about the same as mine… zero. Then again, I'm in my 50's.
As for Marcus, he won't be missed if he decides not to return. There's plenty of guys that can shoot 37% from the floor, 31% from 3-point range, and have roughly the same number of assists as turnovers.

HP to end mobile products, may sell PC division
Thursday, August 18, 2011
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — In a dramatic reshuffling, Hewlett-Packard Co. said Thursday that it will discontinue its tablet computer and smartphone products and may sell or spin off its PC division, bowing out of the consumer businesses.
It's one of the most extreme makeovers in the company's 72-year history and signals new CEO Leo Apotheker's most transparent move to date to make HP look more like longtime rival IBM Corp., which now makes most of its money from software and services.
The most apparent result for consumers will be the end of HP's TouchPad tablet, a sales dud, and HP-branded smartphones, also-rans in a booming market crowded with the iPhone and devices based on Google's Android system. By the end of next year, HP computers could be sold under another company's name.
HP will continue to sell servers and other equipment to business customers, just as IBM now does.
It was not immediately known whether any jobs will be cut. HP employs more than 300,000 worldwide.
A decade ago, HP emerged from a bitter fight to spend more than $24 billion on Compaq Computer, setting the stage for HP to become the world's No. 1 maker of personal computers. Now, three CEOs later, HP is changing course — hard.
The PC division is HP's biggest revenue generator but least profitable division. The move has long been rumored, but just six months ago HP dismissed reports of the possibility as "irresponsible reporting" and that PCs are "core to HP's strategy for the connected world."
The PC industry is under pressure from hot-selling smartphones and tablet computers, which have contributed to already weak consumer demand for PCs in the U.S. and Europe.
More striking is that HP plans to shutter its fledgling smartphone and tablet business just two years after spending $1.8 billion on smartphone maker Palm, which gave HP the webOS software that has been praised by critics but largely been ignored by the marketplace. It is here that HP was the victim of the Apple and Google juggernauts, as iPads and iPhones and smartphones running Google's Android software have been hot sellers, while HP devices have languished.
HP also announced it is buying Autonomy Corp., a business software maker, for about $10 billion, ranking the deal among HP's biggest.
The decision to buy Autonomy also marks a change of course for HP, one that makes HP's trajectory look remarkably similar to rival IBM's nearly a decade ago. IBM, a key player in building the PC market in the 1980s, sold its PC business in 2004 to focus on software and services, which aren't as labor- or component-intensive as building computer hardware.
HP, which is based in Palo Alto, Calif., also announced its latest quarterly results an hour earlier than planned.
HP's net income increased in the fiscal third quarter, which ended July 31, but its lower-than-expected outlook for the current period weighed on the stock.
The company earned 93 cents per share in the latest quarter. That's up from 75 cents per share a year earlier. Its adjusted earnings were $1.10 per share, a penny above analyst expectations.
Revenue climbed less than 2 percent to $31.2 billion, matching analysts' average expectations, according to FactSet.
For the current quarter, HP forecast adjusted earnings of $1.12 to $1.16 per share, below analysts' expectation of $1.32 per share. Revenue should be $32.1 billion to $32.5 billion, short of analysts' estimate of $34 billion.
The company plans to record a one-time charge of $1 billion in the fourth quarter related to the webOS business shutdown and other restructuring costs. It said may also book a charge related to the value of the webOS business but did not say how much that would be.
HP also lowered its full-year revenue outlook. It now expects revenue of $127.2 billion to $127.6 billion, down from its previous estimate of $129 billion to $130 billion. Analysts were predicting $129.1 billion in revenue.
HP's stock fell $1.88, or 6 percent, to close Thursday at $29.51. The stock fell further in extended trading to $28.79, a drop of 72 cents, or 2.4 percent. The announcement came about an hour before the close of market.
